It’s MAY!

Good afternoon everyone 👋🏾 how’s it going? How are we feeling about the month of May? Tons of new goals right? Well I have a few things I’m going to work on this month.

  1. Devotional, I need to find one or two in the Bible App! Speaking of the Bible, I really want to dive into my physical copy of the Bible (WRITE DOWN THE TYPE OF BIBLE I HAVE), and write down Gods promises. It’s a study devotion Bible by the way! 
  2. Meal prep meal prep meal prep 👏🏾 I want to make more home cooked meals for my boyfriend and I. I have a template for meal planing as well so that’s a plus and will definitely help
  3. Studying for school and staying focused! (Yes, Tee is going back to college, not sure if I ever mentioned that part but yeah I’ll get into it later😉) 
  4. Continue to practice learning Spanish 
  5. Drinking 64oz, AT LEAST, a day 

I’m so excited for this new month, as we dive into summer☀️!! Oh! I recently had to up my reading goal for 2023 to 30 books because I READ 12 BOOKS so far this year and that was my original goal for 2023, so that’s awesome 👏🏾. But anyways, I’m sure you’re curious what I’m posting about this morning. So without further ado, let’s get into it!!!

   1. Gym/workout progress 

   2. Books read/unboxed/review

Instant Pot Chicken Broccoli Alfredo

Hey y’all, I got another Instant Pot recipe for you! It’s another one of my favorites, and not only that, also quick and easy. This took me about 25 minutes to, prep food, cook it, and serve by the time my boyfriend got home from work! Everyone will love it!

Ingredients:

1 1/2 crowns of broccoli (1 big crown if you can found a huge one) 

1 large chicken breast 

1 box of Penne Pasta (1lb) 

5 cups of water 

1 Value size Prego Homestyle Alfredo sauce 

1 Regular size Prego Homestyle Alfredo sauce

Seasoned Salt, Garlic and Onion Powder, Oregano, Italian Seasoning, Salt & Pepper to Taste

Instructions:

I know I could do all this together in one pot somehow but I don’t, haha. I really like making sure the chicken is cooked before adding it to the pasta and broccoli so I take the long way around.

  1. Cut both heads of broccoli into bite size pieces, then put in strainer inside of the instant pot.
  2. Add 1 cup of water. Set Instant pot to Pressure Cook, on High for 2 minutes. Once finished, quick release instant pot, and make sure broccoli is somewhat soft. Remove strainer of broccoli and set aside.
  3. Put pasta into instant pot. Add 4 cups of water, and 2 teaspoons of salt. Make sure all noodles are covered in water. DO NOT STIR. Instead, press the noodles down into water.
  4. Set instant pot to Pressure Cook, on High for 5 minutes. Once finished, quick release instant pot, and make sure pasta al dente. Drain extra water into a strainer, set aside. (I usually just add the pasta to broccoli in strainer that’s already set aside so you don’t dirty up 2 strainers)
  5. Cut up chicken breast into bite size pieces, season chicken with seasoned salt, garlic and onion powder, oregano, and Italian seasonings. I do a fairly good amount of seasonings by eye bawling it.
  6. Add chicken bites to instant pot, set to Sauté on High for 15-20 mins (will not take this long to actually cook chicken). Cook until tender and no pink.
  7. Add both jars of Prego Homestyle Alfredo to chicken and stir until sauce is warm!
  8. Once warm, turn off Sauté mode, pour in noodles broccoli, and stir to combine the mixture!
  9. Add salt and pepper to taste! 

Enjoy!! This recipe is simple, and does a dinner justice! I get so full off this meal, its insane. Its boyfriend approved as well, for you ladies cooking for ya mans! Thanks for reading!
