21 Day Fix Pasta with Broccoli & Chicken Sausage

21 Day Fix Pasta with Broccoli & Chicken Sausage
(recipe from carrieelle.com)

Ingredients:
               1 small head of broccoli
               1 9oz package of fresh pasta (I used Fusilli)
               1 small onion, diced
               1 package of sweet Italian chicken sausages, sliced into rounds
               2 cloves of garlic, minced
               1/4 cup of grated Parmesan cheese
               1/4 cup of fresh parsley, chopped
               Himalayan pink salt (or sea salt) to taste
               Freshly ground black pepper (to taste)

Instructions
Chop the broccoli into florets and steam for 3-5 minutes until vibrant
green but not mushy. Remove from the pot and set aside.
Fill the same pot of water and bring to a boil. Cook the pasta according to
the package directions. Drain and set aside.
Meanwhile dice the onion, mince the garlic, and slice the chicken sausage
into small rounds.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over a medium heat.
Add the onion and cook for 5 minutes until translucent.
Add the chicken sausage and cook for 6 minutes, stirring halfway through
to flit the sausage so it browns on each side.
Add the garlic and the steamed broccoli to the pan. Cook for 1 minute
until the garlic becomes fragrant.
Add the cooked pasta.
Top with grated Parmesan cheese and fresh chopped parsley. Season
with salt and pepper according to your taste.
Serving size: 1.5 cups

21 Day Fix Chicken Parmesan Wrap

21 Day Fix Chicken Parmesan Wrap
(recipe from jessdukes.com)



Ingredients  (Recipe makes two wraps)
1.5 cups of shredded chicken (I boiled 2 chicken breasts and then shredded)
3/4 cups of pureed tomatoes (make sure tomatoes are the only ingredient)
2 tsp of Italian seasoning
1 tbsp fresh basil, chopped
1/2 cups of Italian shredded cheese
1 packet of stevia (optional - most marinera sauce has added sugar and is sweet, if you prefer a sweeter sauce, the stevia is great!)
Salt and pepper to taste
Two tortillas - I used gluten free Mission Tortillas
2 tsp olive oil

Directions:
In a bowl, combine chicken, tomato puree, Italian seasoning, fresh basil, stevia, Italian cheese and then salt and pepper to taste. This can be stored for a few days in the refrigerator.
Cook mixture in the microwave before filling tortillas for 45 seconds, or until warm. Doesn't need to be piping hot since they will be cooked.
Put half of the mixture into each tortilla and then fold up like a burrito, folding in two sides and then the other two sides. Brush the outside with a tsp of olive oil,
Preheat frying pan over medium high heat. I sprayed mine with Pam cooking spray too.
Cook wraps for 2 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.
Enjoy!
