Greek Stuffed Chicken Recipe + Weekly Meal Plan / 02-01-16

weekly meal planning meal plan for the week

I can’t believe it’s already February! This year is already going so fast. I’m not totally mad about it thought, because I can’t wait to finish up school. Especially because I have 3 tests this week, and all my tests this year are in the same week as at least 2 other tests. It’s crazy, I tell ya. Needless to say, I’m all about quick meals this week (and also meals that Scott can make, because no way can I cook every night this week). I’m also sharing a super easy recipe for Greek stuffed chicken this week. It’s perfect for those nights when you want to spend minimal time prepping your meal!


Meal Plan – Week of 2/1/16

  • monday – bbq chicken sandwiches + green beans
  • tuesday – lemon basil chicken pasta with spinach and mushrooms
  • wednesday – chicken parmesan
  • thursday – honey sesame chicken + brown rice
  • friday – southwest casserole + corn
  • saturday – greek stuffed chicken (see recipe below!)
  • sunday – super bowl sunday! (if we aren’t at a party, we’ll be having pizza and buffalo chicken dip!)

 

Greek Stuffed Chicken Recipe

Split open two boneless, skinless chicken breasts (you want to cut so you can open them like a hamburger bun). Add feta cheese, fresh (not frozen) spinach, and black olives (optional). Close chicken breasts and top with olive oil or a Greek viniagrette. Cook until the internal temperature of the chicken is 165 degrees F, around 30-40 minutes (depending on the thickness of your chicken breasts). Serve and enjoy!

This recipe is really similar to the Italian stuffed chicken recipe I’ve seen floating around Pinterest. We liked the original recipe a lot, and we thought it would be fun to give it a Greek twist!

Weekly Meal Plan / 12-21-15

Scott and I have gotten into a pretty good rhythm of cooking, and because I’m still in school and he’s busy with work, we have been doing a lot of quick meals, one dish meals, and crockpot meals. We make it a priority to cook at home essentially every day, because we don’t have lots of extra money to eat out, and it’s easier for us to eat healthy when cooking at home.

I wanted to start posting my weekly meal plans to help all you busy people out there come up with easy and delicious meals that don’t take a lot of time. I’m going to work on  posting our recipes and adding links, but for now, just let me know if something piques your interest. 🙂


monday – southwest cheesy chicken casserole (one dish)
tuesday – bbq chicken sandwiches and green beans (crockpot)
wednesday – baked chicken, skillet potatoes, and green beans
thursday – bowties with hot sausage and peppers (one dish)
(friday – christmas dinner at mom and dad’s)
saturday – chicken alfredo and broccoli
(sunday – family get together at grandma’s)
