Eating well is more difficult than you might think. Like with everything small changes would make for long-lasting results and smart eating is not an exception to the rule.

5 easy ways to eating well this year that won't require hours in the kitchen #JustAddTyson #cbias #ad

1. Quality Breakfast

Breakfast is the first meal of the day, but how can you find time for a worthy breakfast that is easy to make? Sometimes I only realize that I skipped my breakfast as I am pulling off the driveway. I suggest to have a short list of versatile breakfasts that are easy to make and nutritionally valuable – parfait, homemade granola cereal, egg sandwich, and my newly discovered Baked Chicken o-la-la.

Breakfast Chicken o-la-la is quick to make. 30 minutes from start to finish #JustAddTyson #cbias #ad

Breakfast Chicken o-la-la
Recipe type: Breakfast
Prep time:  30 mins
Cook time:  20 mins
Total time:  50 mins
Ingredients
  • 18 oz – Tyson Grilled and Ready chicken strips (any variety you like)
  • 1 – Tomato
  • 2 – Egg
  • 5 tbsp – Milk
  • 1 tbsp – Flour
  • Salt to taste
Instructions
  1. Preheat the over to 375F
  2. Remove the skin from the tomato: Slice a shallow X into the bottom of the tomato (opposite the stem side). Put it in the boiling water for 25 seconds. Place the tomatoes directly into the bowl of ice water and let them cool off. Begin peeling the skin at the X, pulling the skin back gently.
  3. Slice the tomato and put it aside.
  4. Blend eggs, milk, flour and salt.
  5. Put Tyson chicken strips on the bottom of the baking pan, cover them with tomato slices and pour the egg mixture over.
  6. Bake for about 15-20 minutes

2. Emergency Snack

Nothing gets faster off the eating well track than sudden hunger and a candy bar from the vending machine. Be ready and have an emergency smart food snack in your purse. For example, small packets of food can satisfy your immediate hunger, offer quick nutrition and have a relatively long shelf (or purse) life.

You have to agree these 80 or so calories and will save you from a lot of troubles.

3  Use shortcuts

Slow cooker, rice cooker, and indoor grill will be your best friends if you are always running late, but trying to living healthy. Any time you think you have no time to make a meal, one of these appliances can deliver a quick meal or overnight dish with minimal efforts.

I honestly believe that a slow cooker can make any dish taste better, indoor grill can deliver restaurant quality panini sandwiches, and the rice cooker can also cook buckwheat or quinoa (valuable eating well grains). Just this morning I realized I had no lunch. While I was getting the kids ready to go, the rice cooker produced a great blend of buckwheat and quinoa while an Asian chicken tight by Tyson added the right amount of protein.

4 Spices

Adding  flavor to a meal will do more than just make your food smell and taste good. It is also great for the portion control and just might be the key to living well. Flavorful food doesn’t just fill your stomach – it also satisfies your taste buds.  And you will quickly discover that it promotes portion control as you will feel full sooner.

5 Last Minute Meals

What is your last-minute plan for the day when you run late and don’t have the time to make dinner? My usual first choice is pizza, but wait – there are other living right options. A follow blogger Christi of Insanity Is Not An Option has an excellent example of a great and quick meal. Her Healthy and Simple Tyson Southwest Chicken Fajitas with Tyson Grilled & Ready Southwestern Style Chicken Breast Strips look incredible.

5 easy ways to eating well this year: Tyson Southwest Chicken Fajitas #JustAddTyson #cbias #ad

You will need 1 bag of frozen Tyson Grilled & Ready Southwestern Style Chicken Breast Strips, 1 green bell pepper, 1 small onion, 1 cup sliced mushrooms, Juice of 1 lime, 2 Tbsp Ground Cumin, 1/2 cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil (split in half), 1 Avocado, Shredded Mild Cheddar Cheese, Soft Flour Tortillas.

    I think spices really make a huge difference! They add such flavor without adding a ton of calories!

    How about cleaning out all the junk food from your pantry? I just did that and it helped tremendously!

    I’ve been trying to consume more water. It not only keeps me filling full, but cuts down on the sodium and sugar intake as well.

    First off, those food pics have me DROOLING. Yum.
    The breakfast chicken sounds interesting! I like Tyson’s strips, they’re healthy and easy to use.

    Lots of fantastic tips – thanks. I must admit to skipping breakfast regularly. The chicken bake looks delicious.

    These are great tips! And just last week I tried the chicken strips to go with a simple salad. It was the perfect protein addition to the salad and delicious too. I used the leftover chicken in a tomato soup two days later, which got rave reviews from my roommates! – Katy

    We’ve simplified by planning out our meals a week at a time. This allows for similar ingredients over multiple recipes and fewer trips to the store.

    Great tips! I love how easy it is to make so many of these delicious options! No excuses for not eating well!

    I never thought of using a rice cooker for other foods – great tip!

    Especially when I had my kids at home, I think having 5-10 simple meals that you can whip up anytime is essential!
