Cajun Chicken Casserole

Published: April 23, 2021 · Courtney Rushing

 

Cajun Chicken Casserole

 

Ingredients

  • 16 ounce chicken breast, cooked and then shredded
  • 200 g, white onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 172 grams, Orange Bell Pepper – Organic
  • 3/4 c chicken broth, reduced sodium
  • 110 g cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 6 ounce, fat free cream cheese
  • 84g reduced fat mozzarella shredded cheese
  • 420 g, spaghetti squash (cooked) (half of a large one)
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon dried thyme
  • ½ teaspoon dried oregano
  • ⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional, I added more of course)
  • Fresh chopped parsley for garnish

 

Directions 

Start by cooking and shredded your chicken breast. 

 

Preheat oven to 425F. 

Microwave your spaghetti squash for 3-5 minutes so its easier to slice. 

Slice and roast in the oven for 40 minutes. Remove from oven and turn temperature to 350F. 

 

In a pan over medium heat, spray olive oil spray and add the onions, peppers and salt. 

When the onions becomes translucent, add the garlic and cook another 3-4 minutes. 

 

Add in all your remaining spiced.

Add in the cream cheese in chunks and pour in the stock. Mix until the cheese is completely melted. 

Add in the shredded chicken and 420g of the cooked spaghetti squash noodles. 

 

Pile into prepared 9×13 casserole dish and top with the mozzarella. 

 

Bake in the oven  at 350F for 15 minutes. I broiled it for the last two minutes to get the cheese slightly golden.

 

Top with fresh chopped parsley and enjoy!

Deload week. What is it? Why do we need it? What do we do with our caloric intake? 

Swipe to learn!

Believe me, if you’re doing #tightertogether , this week is crucial to aid with weeks 4 and 5! If your carb cycling, keep carb cycling. If you’re at maintenance, stay at maintenance. If you’re building your plate, keep building that plate! Your body deserves food with or without training. 

This week comes at a perfect time for me as I am heading to the beach for a wedding. I plan to take it easy and provide my body a lot of rest!

Tell me one thing you’re going to do this week to aid with muscle recovery?!

Welcome to part 2 where we evaluate a client’s meal diary!

Today’s tips include monitoring your sodium, limiting consumption of processed meats, adding in more fruits, whole grains, and veggies, and making simple swaps to provide more fiber and protein to aid with overall satiety. 

Again, these are just suggestions from a nutritionist to better manage your macros. I could 50 other things in this diary alone. Let me know if y’all want me to keep doing more of these!
