Special thanks to Jenny Craig for their sponsorship of this post.
One of the things I love the most about the Jenny Craig program is how easy it is for me to stay on track. Meals are ready in minutes, with all of my favorites on the menu.
The one thing that stood out after a few months was that I missed cooking. I know, it sounds crazy… but cooking is a such creative outlet for me. I quickly learned that I could take the Jenny Craig foods and transform them by adding fresh and free additions. Believe it or not, it’s this recipe work that keeps me interested and keeps me inspired! See a full listing of my Jenny Craig Recipe Creations here.
Every year, Jenny Craig releases a Simple Inspirations Cookbook, filled with recipes created by Jenny Craig members. Available on their website, you can download this year’s eBook filled with amazing ideas for every meal.
This recipe comes from the 2019 Simple Inspirations eBook and is a super easy way to pump up the flavor of the Classic Chicken Carbonara when it hits your menu. Roasted tomatoes and broccoli add caramelized flavors to the mix, and make the meal even more fulfilling! Enjoy!
