Recipe: Parmesan Spinach Chicken

I made this recipe up tonight, and it was wonderful.  The Girl even liked it!  And she doesn't normally like spinach.  I'd say that's a win.  It was ridiculously easy, too.

Parmesan Spinach Chicken

6 chicken tenders, or 3 boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into strips.
1 10-oz box frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained
1/3 c grated Parmesan cheese
2 tsp Italian seasoning
1 Tbsp butter
1/4 c onion, chopped fine
1 Tbsp flour
1/2 c skim milk
1/4 c mozzarella cheese

Preheat oven to 350 F.  Combine Parmesan cheese with seasoning and roll the chicken in it to coat.  Place the chicken in a baking dish.  In a small saucepan, melt butter and cook onion until soft.  Stir in the flour and whisk until thickened slightly.  Add milk and simmer for a few minutes until bubbly.  Stir the spinach into the sauce.  Spoon on top of the chicken and bake for about 30 minutes.  Sprinkle with the mozzarella and bake for an additional 5 minutes until melted.  Enjoy.

Lunch: 9.8.11

For snack, The Girl has applesauce (which she asked for in the silicone pop mold) and a homemade granola bar and a juice.

For lunch, she has a wrap on a whole wheat tortilla, with homemade mayonnaise, shredded carrot, ham, and cheddar cheese, peas, a clementine, a couple school bus "animal" crackers, and some chocolate covered pomegranate seeds.

Lunch for the Boy: 9.8.11

Yesterday, I mistakenly sent the wrong lunch with the wrong kids.  No one was happy.  The school nurse called to get the carb count on the lunch that The Boy actually had, and he wouldn't eat some of it... I hope I don't make that mistake again!

Raisins: 15g, cheese: 1g, Ogre Bread: 10g

For snack, he has raisins, a cheese stick, and some Ogre Quick Bread.  I'm not sure he'll eat the Ogre bread.... he liked it last time I made, but that was quite a while ago.  We'll see!
