Happy Friday everyone! What are your plans this weekend? Hopefully you’ll be making some delicious meals, even if it’s just for yourself 🙂 Here’s a quick meal I through together for myself a couple weeks ago.
I took a chicken breast, made a slice in the middle lengthwise (not all the way through, just a little pocket). Then I stuffed it with some goat cheese and sun dried tomato pesto, seasoned it well with salt and pepper and baked for 20 minutes until it was cooked through. I paired it with a sweet potato, lightly drizzled in maple syrup and side of steamed broccoli. A delicious and healthy meal in no time at all!
Just because you’re eating for one, doesn’t mean you have to eat leftovers or a frozen dinner. Don’t forget to treat yourself when it’s just for you 🙂
What are your favorite single meals you make for yourself?
Hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

Ah sounds wonderful! Since I am rarely ever at home alone (except a rare time last Sunday), I will keep this in mind! Because I loveeeee chicken and broccoli any way I can make it. Have a great weekend, Cheryl.
Sarah 'n Spice says
Me too! You have a great weekend as well 🙂

Lovely to see you here at Fiesta Friday!! I am really rubbish at cooking for myself – I can and do cook meals for one, but that is usually something for my son if he’s hungry and I’m not. If he’s not around I tend to snack. Your stuffed chicken sounds lovely with the sweet potato and broccoli. Thanks for sharing and a very Happy Fiesta Friday to you!!

I think we all forget to take the time a cook for ourselves with our buys lives. This is an easy way to pamper yourself a little in the kitchen. Happy Fiesta Friday to you too, excited to join you guys every week 🙂

When I am alone and feel hungry, I always look for something instant like cup noodles, instant noodles, boiled egg or maybe leftovers from the fridge. I am so lazy to make a meal for myself only. I am glad to have seen this post of yours. (Nice to see you here at FF#29, btw, which I am co-hosting with Selma.) I must say that this meal sounds so delicious to me. Thank you for sharing this and happy FF to you. I hope you enjoy the weekend.
PS: I made some cookies yesterday. 😉 I was supposed to make a soup and a carrot cake as well, but my body got tired after running some errands, so I have not cooked anything more. 🙂
Sarah 'n Spice says
I do the same thing…look for something instant. It’s nice to take care of yourself in the cooking department. Sometimes cookies is enough for one day 😉

Sarah 'n Spice says
Ha Ha! Been there done that 🙂

Mmmmm, you had me at goat cheese and pesto. Could there be anything better? Going to try this one. Hopefully it’ll turn out better than the chicken burgers (which were still delicious even though they looked funny, lol!).
Sarah 'n Spice says
No, there’s really nothing better than that combo!
Glad they tasted good 🙂
