Baked chicken

Take fresh or frozen (that you can bake from frozen) chicken breast and bake on 375. We like to add Italian Seasoning, Lemon pepper, Lemon juice and w/salt and pepper, jerk seasoning, chipotle powder or even just salt and pepper. You can drizzle with olive oil if you like that.

While baking make a couple of sides. We love broccoli and garlic. Saute' fresh or frozen broccoli florets (not chopped broccoli). On low to med. heat saute/steam the florets until they began to be bright green. To keep from sticking, you can add a tablespoon or two of water every so often and/or a drizzle of olive oil. About half way through I press a few garlic cloves into the mixture. Add salt and pepper. Sautee/steam until crisp/tender, not mushy.

Other quick sides to have

Black beans
herb brown rice-cook over the weekend and freeze or cook in the microwave while chicken is baking.
cooked carrots (canned for quick-drain the liquid in the can and add your own water and heat)
add a tablespoon of honey for honey carrots. We don't like frozen carrots, but they would work.
baked sweet potato (baked while the chicken is baking)
brussel sprouts instead of broccoli-add frozen brussel spouts to a baking sheet w/onions and/or pressed garlic. Add a drizzle of olive oil over the top and bake while the chicken is baking. Bake until the sprouts start to barley brown.
frozen lima beans-I cook in the microwave while the chicken is cooking
