Buying produce has been easy during the summer months with the farmers markets and beautiful fruits and vegetables readily available. What I find a bit trickier is finding quality protein and meats. Chicken is a staple ingredient at our house where I often make chicken dishes for a handful of meals each week. So when I'm at the store, I reach for Tyson® Fresh Chicken. It's the next best thing to being fresh off the farm, because it's:
- All natural* with no added hormones or steroids.**
- Arrives at the store fresh, delivered within days from leaving the farm.
- And Tyson has a heritage of producing chicken where they have been raised by family farmers for over 75 years.

• Boneless Skinless Chicken Breast Tenderloins
• Boneless Skinless Chicken Thighs
With a variety of chicken available, I sometimes draw a blank on what to prepare. And when I get it in recipe rut, I love that Tyson Fresh Chicken also offers helpful tools and resources to make meal planning easy. I've found some great recipes at PickTysonFresh.com!

This pasta dish would definitely make me eat spinach! Great recipe.
ReplyDeleteLove the way the chicken is already pre-packaged and ready to freeze! This is definitely my kind of dinner!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite way to serve chicken is with cheese and spinach stuffed inside it!

Your recipe sounds good, but I'd have to use at least two chicken breasts to please my meat-loving family. Thanks for the recipe.
ReplyDeleteAs far as the giveaway goes, I didn't see a question or discussion topic posted, so I'll just tell you about a favorite chicken dish in our house: Bone-in chicken thighs, braised in a herbed tomato-based sauce with diced onions, carrots, and celery, and served over rice or pasta. Works in the slow cooker, in a Dutch oven, or even baked in a casserole. Love it!

What a lovely dish. I love how I can put huge handful of spinach into the pan and watch it disappear knowing that the iron and good stuff is all still there. I buy those Tyson packaged breasts all of the time. I cook a few and freeze the rest, so convenient.

This recipe looks like one I'd enjoy making. I've been wanting to make Chicken Florentine, because I love spinach and chicken.

For a quick meal during the warm summer months we like to use leftover grilled or roasted chicken to make chicken fried rice or a stir fry with fresh veggies from the garden.
