mozzarella cheese

🥗Healthier: part-skim mozzarella

💰Cheaper: provolone cheese

Part-skim mozzarella reduces calories while maintaining creaminess.

olive oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

Vegetable oil is often less expensive than olive oil.

1

Season the chicken tenders with kosher salt, cracked black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, herbs de Provence, and red pepper flake.

Mix the seasonings with olive oil using gloved hands to create a quick marinade.

While the chicken is grilling, slice a couple of cloves of garlic and add them to a skillet with butter.

6

7

Add low sodium chicken broth to the skillet with the broccolini and garlic.

8

Flip the grilled chicken tenders to ensure even cooking.

9

Zest a lemon into the skillet with the broccolini and squeeze in the lemon juice as well.

10

Remove the grilled chicken from the grill once cooked through and set aside.

11

In a new skillet, melt butter and add diced tomatoes, seasoning with salt, pepper, Italian herbs, and garlic powder.

12

Add a couple of spoonfuls of white wine to the tomatoes and let it reduce until the tomatoes blister.

13

Add a handful of fresh basil to the blistering tomatoes and return the grilled chicken to the skillet to heat through.
