Foodie Friday: Chicken and Veggie Casserole

Happy Foodie Friday everyone! Looking for an easy way to get your protein and veggies in? This recipe will leave you with a ton of leftovers and the ability to sneak in extra veggies to your family members without them complaining one bit!

Sometimes casseroles get the bad wrap of being too high carb, to heavy, leave you just feeling stuffed….but not this one. The veggies keep things nice and light while the protein from the chicken helps keep you nice and satisfied!

• While the chicken is baking, heat the bags of frozen cauliflower rice and broccoli according to package instructions/ Discard any excess water or moisture.

• Remove chicken from oven and let cool for 5 minutes. Carefully chop baked chicken into bite-sized pieces.

Andrea has been at IPT since July of 2023 and has been the definition of consistency! She always makes adjustments to her nutrition and exercise when needed and pushes herself in workouts every single time. Each month she exceeds her goal of losing body fat mass, and has lost a total of 24lbs of BFM since joining! She's able to chest press 25 lb dumb bells and can do a full pushup without any assistance now. You can really see the difference in how Andrea carries herself and the confidence she has now compared to her first day at IPT. She completely transformed her life for the better!

Hi, my name is Dylan and I’ve been at IPT since December of 2022, and my fitness habits have greatly improved since then! Since I started at IPT, I’ve been consistent with all of my workouts at the gym, my workouts outside of the gym, and my nutrition. I’ve lost 13.2 pounds of body fat, and have gotten stronger and faster with every session. My training at IPT has helped me to throw a no-hitter this baseball season as well as decrease my 40 yard sprint time!
