1 egg
1/4 cup 2% OR skim milk
Salt
1 slice of american cheese (optional)
Pepper (optional)

3) Microwave for 30 seconds. Remove from microwave and mix for about 15 seconds.

2 large zucchini
1 box of whole wheat (or whole grain) pasta
extra virgin olive oil
garlic salt
pepper
parmesan cheese (optional)

2) Sprinkle a pinch of garlic salt on each side of the chicken breasts.
3) Cook the chicken breasts in a George Foreman grill for 7-9 minutes, or until they are white throughout. If you don’t have a George Foreman grill, cook chicken breasts in a pan until they are white throughout.

5) In a bowl combine zucchini, 1/2 tbs. of extra virgin olive oil, and 1/4 tsp. of garlic salt. Toss to mix.

8) Cut chicken into bite size pieces (refer to picture for size reference) and add to pasta.
9) Sauté zucchini in a sauce pan until tender. (About 1-2 minutes, give or take.)
10) Add zucchini to pasta and mix.
