Question

looking for some new meal ideas...

Answer 1

Just did a real easy one tonight
l lb boneless skinless chicken breast cut into strips

saute chicken in skillet w/ 2 tbsp olive oil til cooked all the way through

Mix up a package of stir fry seasoning and add to chicken (it comes in those pouches in the spice area at grocery store)

While the chicken is simmering in the seasoning, chop up a head of brocoli into bite-size pieces and microwave about 2 minutes (crisp tender). Add the brocoli to the chicken and stir to coat well.

I warmed up some left-over pasta and served the stir fry chicken brocoli over the pasta, but you could use rice.

It took no more than 5 minutes and was yummy, protein, vegi, and carbs all in one bowl w/ very little clean up.
******************************
Made this the other night and it was also quick, easy, & really good:
2 thin boneless pork loin chops (approx 4-5 oz each)
Mix together: 3 TBSP bread crumbs, 3 TBSP parmesan cheese, 1 TBSP finely chopped fresh cilantro or Italian parsley, dash of ground black pepper
Spread both sides of the chops with dijon or deli mustard, then coat w/ crumb mixture
Broil about 5-6 minutes on each side (depending on thickness)

Serve with baby green salad w/ tomatoes and avocados, and pasta.

Pasta: cook spiral pasta al dante, toss with a little olive oil, parmesan cheese (and optional but recommended, toasted pine nuts and/or sliced & quartered, sauted zucchini)
