In this video I share a healthy, delicious & nutritious Garlic Parmesan Chicken recipe with an easy cucumber salad recipe. This dish helped me to lose 55lbs on my weight loss journey. Who says eating healthy has to be boring?
This meal can be adapted to be made a keto friendly/keto meal by substituting wheat noodles for zucchini noodles (zoodles.) Pasta is always a fun date night meal. Hopefully this gives you a date night idea for you and your significant other. This dish will allow you to keep it fun while also keeping it healthy and did I say its delicious and nutritious?
