For Lunch Today I baked some chicken tenderloins, had a serving of quinoa, and some Green Giant roasted potato steamers with green beans and roasted potato butter sauce all for 450 calories.
Ingredients:
Pack of Chicken Tenderloins (Aldi's, less processed for me).
5 tbsp red hot paprika pepper
1 tbsp lemon juice (pure lemon)
2 tsp cajun spices( or more season to taste)
1 tsp black peper
2 cubes maggi (can be ommitted for those watching their sodium)
1 tbsp Lawry's Jamaican Jerk Marinade (season to taste)
1 tbsp Lawry's Tomato Basil Marinade( season to taste)
1/4 cup quinoa
3/4 cup Green Giant 100% Natural -Valley Fresh Steamers-Roasted Red Potatoes, Green Beans and Rosemary Butter Sauce
Directions:
1. Preheat Oven to 400 degrees
2. Wash the Chicken Tenderloins, and in a large bowl add in the paprika pepper, cajun spices, maggi, marinades and finally the lemon juice.
2. Mix together thoroughly and lay the tenderloins on a flat cooking sheet sprayed with Pam Olive Oil Spray
3. Place in the oven at 400 degrees and bake for 20 minutes or until baked to your desire (I like my tenderloins juicy so I don't like them to dry out too much).
4. Place 1/4 cup Quinoa in a pot and put about 2 cups water in it and set to a medium boil covered. Add water as needed to ensure quinoa is fully cooked. It should look like this when done:
5. Microwave packet of steamers for about 5 minutes and measure out 3/4 cup to eat (thats 1 serving)
Enjoy Your meal when fully cooked. 4 oz tenderloins is a serving( so about 2 pieces). I have 2 servings(4 tenderloin pieces) on my plate because I am upping my protein and wanted more meat. if you only have a serving of tenderloins then you are at about 360 calories (give or take).
