Chicken & Asparagus Skillet – 21 Day Fix Approved

Time for a new recipe from me! WOOHOO! This Chicken & Asparagus Skillet is the perfect dish for eating straight from the pan or reheating for lunch! Packed full of protein and veggies with a little carb on the side for fun!

Prior to the Christmas season, I embarked on another round of the 21 Day Fix.  The more times that I follow through with the 21 days, the more adventurous and creative I get with my cooking.  While I tend to combine chicken and broccoli, I LOVE asparagus just as much, so I decided to come up with a new dish for my lunches!  When I think about cooking something, I often think about the re-heatability of a dish so I can use it for my lunches at work!

Executing My Vision

In my mind I worked through how I wanted this dish to come together and my favorite way to eat asparagus is sauteed, so I knew I wanted to incorporate that.  I also knew that it would deepen the flavor of the dish a great deal, instead of just steaming it.  To me, there are very few things as beautiful as sauteed asparagus!

Broccoli Lemon Chicken – Clean Eating

Broccoli Lemon Chicken – Clean Eating

I’m in my final week of this round of the 21 Day Fix and I’m feeling better about it than ever before!  I’ve done a much better job at meal prepping and not buckling to everything around me.  Now, I’ll be honest and say that this doesn’t mean that I haven’t buckled at all, but it’s been within reason.  This Broccoli Lemon Chicken has helped me stay on track!

The 21 Day Fix is going well this time around! I’ve had plenty of challenges to stop me from succeeding too!  Do you know how hard it is to find a “clean” meal at a basketball concession stand?!  I’m proud to say that I’ve only eaten one walking taco.  Other times I held out until it was over and we hit the drive through at a fast food joint where I picked the grilled chicken sandwich and only ate half the bun.  I also selected apple slices instead of fries!  It was brutal, but I did it!  I also had a citizen bring me a plate of cookies at my full-time job!  There were 8 on the plate and I only ate 2!  Meal prepping has been a lot my success to this round and I’m loving how I feel inside and out!

Is the “21 Day Fix” Really a Fix?

— Katy Flint6 Comments

For the past 15 or so days I’ve been working on feeding my body the good stuff! I’ve always been known to love food and not be able to turn down a cookie, ice cream, or brownie, but in the last couple months I hadn’t been feeling “well”. I use “well” because I wasn’t sick and I wasn’t unhealthy, but I wasn’t feeling the best that I knew I could. Enter my friend Shannon (from Shannon Ambroson Wellness) and the 21 Day Fix! At first the 21 Day Fix scared the bageebers out of me because I thought, “I can’t live on spinach”. Well, it turns out I don’t have to! It also turns out that the 21 Day Fix isn’t about not eating, it’s about eating the good stuff! Good stuff being whole, unprocessed foods! And, that’s what I’ve done!
