One Pot Creamy Lemon Chicken Pasta with baby kale is an easy and delicious one pot meal that the entire family will love! Made with chicken, lemon, cheese, pasta and fresh greens!
Once you start making one pot meals, you won’t be able to stop. I try to make a one pot meal at least once a week because it makes dinner planning easy and clean up even easier. Today, I am sharing the recipe for One Pot Creamy Chicken Pasta with I heart baby kale from organicgirl. The greens actually include a mixture of baby kale, baby spinach, green romaine and more. The hearty greens are both nutritious and delicious. The lemon adds fresh flavor that complements the chicken and creates a meal that the entire family will love.
With so many great ways to sneak greens into meals, you will never get bored. Sandwiches, salads, smoothies, soups, pasta, and more. You can even sneak greens like baby kale, arugula and chard into your favorite indulgent dish or lighten it up with some fresh greens. One pot meals are a great way to add greens because the greens cook right in the pot. What is your favorite way to add fresh greens to your diet?
