Chicken Dinner

Tonight I decided to eat healthy by making chicken served over brown rice with vegetables. As much as I love to eat everything that is bad for me, it’s nice to switch it up and have some healthy meals. I was looking through Pinterest at healthy dinner meals and stumbled upon a ton of great things to make. Tonight I started off by marinating the chicken in lemon juice and basil for an hour. I IMG_8323cut up carrots, green beans, and broccoli to throw in the mix. I bought brown rice and made 2 cups of it, which was way to much for three people. I sautéed the chicken and then added the vegetables while cooking the rice. I also chopped up some lettuce and cut up extra carrots, celery and tomatoes for a salad.

Overall it took me about 20 minutes to actually cook all of it and the ingredients together was under 20 dollars. These meals are the best kinds to make as a college student because they’re really good for you and very cost effective. Had I not been feeding three people it would have been around 10 dollars but because it ended up being more than just myself it came to around 16 dollars. I would definitely recommend a meal like this at least once or twice a week as a college student to make sure your diet stays balanced.
