Salsa Verde Chicken Casserole

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish with cooking spray or oil.

Place the chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish and season them with salt and black pepper.

Pour the salsa verde evenly over the chicken breasts, making sure they are fully coated.

Sprinkle the drained and rinsed black beans and frozen corn kernels over the salsa verde-coated chicken.

Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes.

Remove the foil and sprinkle the shredded Mexican blend cheese over the top.

Return the casserole to the oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F/74°C).

Remove from the oven and garnish with chopped fresh cilantro.

Enjoy this zesty and satisfying Salsa Verde Chicken Casserole, perfect for a family-friendly dinner or meal prep.

Peanut Butter Brownie Swirl Cookies

While these Peanut Butter Brownie Swirl Cookies are a delightful treat, they can be made healthier with a few simple swaps. Opt for natural peanut butter without added sugars to boost protein and healthy fats. Incorporate whole wheat pastry flour for an extra fiber boost. Dark chocolate kisses provide antioxidants, and reducing sugar or using a natural sweetener can lower the calorie count. The protein from peanut butter makes these cookies more satisfying than many others. For portion control, consider making smaller cookies or freezing part of the batch. Remember, these are special occasion cookies that should be enjoyed in moderation as part of an overall balanced diet.

Irish Coffee

While Irish coffee is a treat, the coffee provides antioxidants. To make it healthier, use low-fat or non-dairy milk and limit added sugar. Consider using a natural sweetener like honey or maple syrup. The coffee provides a caffeine boost, but be mindful of portion size and enjoy Irish coffee as an occasional indulgence as part of an overall balanced diet.
