320 calories 14g fat 22g carbs 30g protein 6g fiber 680mg sodium
Ingredients Greek Stuffed Chicken • 10 oz frozen spinach, thawed, chopped • ¼ cup crumbled feta cheese • 1 tsp lemon zest • 4 (4 oz) boneless, skinless chicken breasts • ½ tsp kosher salt • 1 tsp ground black pepper • 1 ½ tsp dried oregano • 1 Tbsp canola oil
Barley Feta Salad • 3 oz fresh red beets • ¼ cup dry black barley • 1/3 cup baby arugula • 2 tsp chopped walnuts • 1 oz crumbled feta cheese • 2 tsp balsamic vinegar • 1 tsp extra virgin olive oil • ¼ tsp fennel seed • 1 garlic clove, minced
Cucumber Tomato Salad • 5 oz Roma tomatoes • 6 oz English cucumbers • 1 Tbsp fresh parsley, chopped • 2 tsp lemon juice • 1 ½ tsp extra virgin olive oil • Pinch of Kosher salt • Pinch of ground black pepper • 1 oz red onion, thinly sliced
Directions 1. For the Greek stuffed chicken: Preheat oven to 350F. Zest the lemon peel. In a bowl, combine spinach, feta, and zested lemon peel.

Stuff the breast with about 2.5-3 oz spinach mixture. Use a toothpick or wooden skewer to close the flap. Lightly coat chicken with oregano and sprinkle with salt and pepper. In a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat, add oil. Cook chicken for 3 to 5 minutes per side. Transfer to the oven and bake for 8 to 12 minutes, or until cooked through. 2.

When beets are cooked, drain and rinse with cold water; cool completely. Trim off beet roots and rub off skins. Cut beets into 1/4" wide wedges. Prepare vegetable stock according to recipe and bring to a boil in a large saucepan. Add the barley; cover, reduce heat and simmer 40 minutes. Remove from heat; cool.

Directions:
1. For the Summer Veggie Brown Rice Salad: Wash the rice, then place it in a pot with 1 cup the water, bring to a boil and simmer until the rice is tender. Rinse the rice and lay out on a sheet pan and place in refrigerator to cool. Prepare vinaigrette by combining the vinegar, honey, and oil together. In a large bowl, combine the rice, garbanzo beans, lemon juice, red and green peppers, garlic, salt, pepper, cucumbers and oregano. Before serving, toss with scallions, cilantro and vinaigrette.
2. For the Honey Mustard Glazed Salmon: Combine the honey and mustards to make a glaze. Let it simmer over medium heat for 5 minutes. Divide the glaze equally into two separate bowls. Set one bowl of glaze aside. Preheat oven to 350°F. On a sheet pan sprayed with oil lay out the salmon and sprinkle the tops with the salt and pepper. Using a brush, evenly apply the glaze to the tops of the salmon and discard any leftover glaze from this bowl. Bake salmon in the oven for 7-10 minutes. Cook to a minimum internal temperature of 155°F. Transfer the salmon onto a serving plate. With a clean brush, use the glaze that was set aside to brush onto the salmon for serving. 3. For the BBQ Carrots: Combine lemon juice and BBQ sauce and set aside. Wash and dry carrots. Cut carrots in half lengthwise. Toss the carrots with the oil, garlic and chili powder. Place the carrots on a sheet tray. Roast for 10 minutes in a 350°F oven.
