It can be difficult to cook for one person, so I can understand the attraction of microwave meals and that chicken in a bag stuff. However, it is much more expensive and less healthy than cooking something like this, breaking it into portions and freezing for several meals.
This delicious recipe combines mushrooms, broccoli, long grain rice mix, and yogurt for an easy one dish meal recipe.
Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 25 minutes
Ingredients:
1 Tbsp. olive oil
1/2 Tbsp. butter
1/2 onion, chopped
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
4 oz. pkg. sliced fresh mushrooms
3/4 cups water
3 oz. pkg. chicken long grain wild rice mix
5 oz. pkg. frozen chopped broccoli (or use spinach or another veggie you like) - 1/2 10 oz pkg
1/4 cup plain yogurt
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (other cheeses could be substituted - I like mozarella)
Preparation:
In heavy nonstick skillet, heat olive oil and butter, and saute onion until translucent. Add chicken and cook over medium heat until browned on one side, about 4 minutes. Turn chicken and add mushrooms, and cook until chicken is browned on second side. Remove chicken from pan. Add water, rice, and seasoning packet to skillet with mushrooms. Place chicken around edge of skillet. Add broccoli to center.
Cook over medium heat until mixture boils. Then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook 10 minutes. Stir to mix broccoli with rice mixture. Add yogurt and heat another 1-2 minutes. Sprinkle with cheese, cover, let stand 2 minutes to melt cheese, and serve. 2 to 3 servings
Just a guess, but I'm betting good money she's not going to like the mushrooms and broccoli.
Hey...I like mushrooms and broccoli thank you very much.
I also like peas, asparagus and brown sugar carrots or any veggies in ranch dip....Ohhh I should add that to my list.
Sugar, sugar, enamel-stripping acids, lactose, yogurt. If the bagels aren't frozen they'll be stale in a few days. If they are frozen, then processed crap, more lactose, processed sodium-loaded crap, more processed sodium-loaded crap, oranges, processed flavored sugar-loaded gas-inducing crap, sodium-and MSG-over-fake-noodles, berries, berries, day-glo-liquid sodium, and processed sodium-loaded frozen crap. And processed crap in a box.
You're eating crap, except for the yogurt, oranges and the berries.
If that's your idea of a fair mixture of healthy and not, I worry for the child you're feeding lunch to.
Also I agree with paganmama. Therefore, we are correct, and you are wrong.
Edited a second time to include yogurt in the "except for" category.
They have their stuff that is to be fed to them.
I have my stuff which is mine.
These kids eat super healthy, me...not so much, wasn't how I was raised and right now I rather have the foods I like than not have them. I am eating a lot healthier and barely have time to eat anyways so fatty food are what's keeping me alive LOL.
Plus I didn't buy a lot because I can eat dinner with them.
But I will be adding veggies I can dip in ranch to my list.
I visit that planet from time to time. It is a strange place. I cannot stay there because I do not have the require BMW, blonde hair dye, and yellow lab, brand name clothing and ab master. However they do allow me to visit reguarly without too much problem.
They have one of those monstrous things, that the wife, when I am not home will not lock, the husband however locks it ALL THE TIME.
I have key to the house and the code to the garage. So if the door in the garage is locked with that stupid thing then I have to try the front door, which it is usually locked there too leaving me NO WAY in.
This has resulted in me being locked out on numerous occasions and today when I got home, its 1 in the afternoon, it was locked. The wife came and unlocked it and was like you keep locking ****** out and he was like its to keep ****** in and so he doesn't get out.
But its not like its a key lock I can just get through. Unless someone from the inside flips the latch I can't get in and has resulted in me being locked out many nights.
I live on the planet of southern California, the land of fruits and nuts of course.
And sprouts. You forgot the sprouts.
Wait. And donuts. A donut shop on every corner. Next to the taco stand.
