Mediterranean Chicken and Quinoa
I found this recipe or should I say meal as I was walking through Aldi grocery store. Not sure if your reading this and you have one, but we do and its amazing!! Aldi is coming out with healthier foods, organic, and whole! Their produce section is awesome too!! Whats better is the money you save when you go!! My advice is bring your own bags to put your groceries in or else you will have groceries all over your car, and bring a quarter to borrow a cart!
This meal is right about 300 calories, 16 g protein, 6 g fat, 40 carbs… just about what any normal healthy meal is!!
