Simple Chicken

I loved this entree because it was so dang easy. All I did was grill some chicken breasts and top them with this simple recipe and it was delightful.

Here is what you'll need:

Two grilled chicken breasts
1 c cherry tomatoes cut in halves
1/2 c green olives sliced
1/3 c sun dried tomatoes chopped
2 tbsp EVOO

Heat the EVOO in a pan and then add all ingredients, saute for about 5-7 minutes and viola! Dinner is ready. Hope you enjoy!

Sweet Jalapeno Chicken

This was pretty good. I wish it had tasted a little more spicy, but the marinade was yummy.

Here is what you'll need:

4 jalapenos
4 garlic cloves
1 tbsp fresh parsley (optional, I just had it so I wanted to use it)
1/2 T pepper
1 T red pepper flakes
1/2 c water
2 tbsp organic honey
1/4 T chili powder
3-4 chicken breasts.

Put the jalapeno, garlic and spices in the food processor and blend until everything is very finely chopped. Add water and process a little more. My honey was hardened, so I microwaved it for 15 seconds to make it a liquid. When the honey is a liquid, add it to the processor and blend everything.

Once everything is blended together nicely, place the chicken breasts in a ziplock and pour the marinade in. Place the bag in your fridge for 4-6 hours. When you are ready to eat, strike up the grill on medium heat and cook the chicken for about 10-12 minutes on each side.

*** NEXT TIME: I would like to save a little of the marinade to baste the chicken with while it is grilling, or maybe even to top the chicken with when it is plated. Hope you like it!

Chicken Pizza Bake

So I was low on groceries and ideas, I just kinda threw this together and it happened to be amazing! When I took a bite and closed my eyes, it kinda, sorta tasted like PIZZA!

Here is what you'll need:

2 chicken breast
1 small onion, thinly sliced
1 cup mushrooms, sliced
1/3 cup sun dried tomato
3/4 cup organic marinara ( got it from TJ's)
Parsley flakes
Basil seasoning
Pepper
Olive oil

First, I preheated the oven to 375... then...

I glazed the 8x8 baking dish with some pam, then added the chicken. I sprinkled a lot of parsley, pepper and basil on the chicken, then I added all of the other ingredients to the pan, except for the marinara sauce, and added more parsley, basil and pepper. Then I coated everything with a drizzle of olive oil, here is what it looked like at this stage:



Before putting it into the oven I added the marinara sauce to the pan, mainly just on the chicken breasts, with a little on the veggies in the middle and on the sides of the chicken. I cooked the masterpiece for 25 minutes, served it with some broccoli and it was delish... I am going to be making this again soon!





Enjoy!!!
