Chicken Veggie Bowl! This is an easy, delicious, and nutritious dinner. I poached chicken breasts for this bowl, but you can prepare it however you want! If you want to add more flavor with a sauce, I would recommend trying a green goddess dressing or pesto. This is a perfect lunch or dinner idea if you are looking for something quick and easy. Recipe below. Enjoy!

“Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.”
Proverbs 4:23
God promises us a new heart (Ezekiel 36:26). This is a heart worth keeping and guarding. Guard your heart from evil. Guard it for wisdom and love for and from God!!
Remember the importance of heart checks as well, which you can read more about here.
