Amped Up Meal: Healthy Choice Chicken Marinara Power Bowl

This is a fun series where I buy some of the more high quality packaged food and then make it an actual meal. This provides a fast way to get dinner on the table without sacrificing taste and quality. If you have any other brands I should amp-up, please let me know!

This week I’m sharing a Healthy Choice meal. There seems to be a ton of variety of this brand in my grocery store so I wanted to AMP one up!
