Chicken Meatballs, Butternut Squash & Kale

If you know anything about me, you know I am all about ease. Whatever makes my life easier, I'm all about it. So why would I be any different when it comes to making meals for my family? 

When it comes to cooking, the less I have to prep, the less I have to dirty, and the less I have to clean, the better! Which is why I absolutely love these Aidells All Natural Chicken Meatballs. They are tasty and I can read every single ingredient in the ingredients list. They come fully cooked, so all you need to do it heat and eat.  Best of all, Caleb and Eddie love them too! I actually always have two packs on hand, for nights when I forget to pull something out or plan a meal or just in case we end up with last minute company, I can always throw these on the frying pan and have a delicious, easy, and healthy dinner. 

This combination is one of my favorites because it's tasty, and the colors look gorgeous together, don't they? It's also a one-pan meal, so there's that, too. 

I buy a packaged butternut squash at Publix, it already comes chopped (again, all about easy) and vacuum sealed so it will last longer in your fridge. 

Ingredients:

• 2 tbsp olive oil, divided
• 1 cup cubed butternut squash
• 1 pack aidells Caramelized Onion Chicken Meatballs
• 2 cups kale
• salt to taste 

Directions:

1. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in skillet pan. 
2. Add butternut squash, sauté on medium high heat until tender, about 6-8 minutes. 
3. Add meatballs, continue to saute on medium high until they have a little color (4-6 minutes). 
4. Add kale and additional olive oil to pan. Toss all ingredients for 3-4 minutes, until kale begins to wilt (I don't like it too wilted, so I pull it all off the heat as soon as I see it start to wilt.). 
5. Transfer to plate, add salt to tast (I usually don't add any), and enjoy! 

Friends, it doesn't get much easier than that! Enjoy!
