This 20 minute chicken caprese skillet is delicious and so easy to make. It requires minimal time and minimal ingredients. Chicken breasts, mozzarella cheese, tomatoes, basil, and garlic. I made this after having chicken caprese this past weekend and needed an at home version. I love taking recipes and making them simple and easy.

]]> I’ve got your new favorite healthy lunch recipe! It’s this 4 Ingredient Pesto Avocado Chicken Salad- No Mayo! You only need: shredded chicken, pesto, avocado, & plain Greek yogurt for this easy meal. I like to pair it with toasted bread, pita bread, or a wrap; but you can use whatever you like. You can mix it up and take it to work or just have the ingredients on hand for those busy summer days. This recipe is packed with protein and you can add veggies for some extra nutrients. It’s a healthier chicken salad and you can make it gluten free, too! Let me know what you think about it. 

What You Will Need For This Recipe:

Chicken

Pesto

Avocado

Greek yogurt

Other Healthy Recipes To Try:

Vegan & Gluten Free Caesar Pasta Salad

This vegan and gluten free caesar pasta salad is the perfect healthy side dish! I can’t wait to bring this to a bbq this summer! It’s so tasty, people won’t even know that it’s vegan and gluten free. Packed with fiber, nutrients, and flavor. You can use any caesar dressing but I like to make an extra creamy, homemade version. The recipe is below!

Vegan Queso (Nut Free!)

A nut free, vegan queso! Most vegan queso recipes use cashews or almonds which are great options but for a queso lover like me, the cost adds up quickly. Plus I know there are nut free people who can’t have them at all! So this recipe is for you guys and the people like me who just like saving money. This recipe is also paleo and gluten free. Hope you enjoy it!

Air Fryer Buffalo Tofu Bites

A delicious and fun plant based recipe that you can make for dinner, as an appetizer, or even a healthy snack! We’re trying to do more meatless dinners over here but it can get boring if you rely on the same recipe as your go to. I definitely fall into that habit. Well the good thing is nothing is boring about these air fryer buffalo tofu bites ! Even if you fall into the rut of making them over and over again (which you might because they’re amazing).
