Chicken

Saturday Night Dinner

by

Chicken and Veggies 700x400

Here is Saturday night’s dinner. I’m not going to give a recipe exactly. I’ll just tell you what’s in it. You can probably see most of the ingredients in the picture.

There’s a nice piece of grilled chicken. Charlene cooked it slowly in a frying pan in a little olive oil with seasonings she likes.

She sautéed the onions, peppers and a few sliced fresh mushrooms. We get the frozen peppers at Trader Joe’s. She also had a little fresh pepper to add to the mixture.

There is a half a zucchini and half a yellow squash sliced and quartered which she lightly steamed and then added to the sauté mixture.

She was doing this while the brown rice was cooking per the box instructions.

Finally she plated it with rice at the bottom and veggies on that with the chicken laid gently on the top. It was not only good, it was nice looking also.

This meal fits the plan and also is a tasty meal.
