My 1st recipe of 2011

So as you all know as I said before, one of my New Years resolutions is to learn to cook more and try new food. So last night I went into the kitchen and made up my own meal. Well it probably has been done many times before in millions of different ways, but this is my own unique way and it is super super easy and tastes delish.

So the ingredients are as follows:

2 Pieces of frozen chicken, I always buy those bags of chicken from walmart, but if you like you can just use regular chicken.

1 Package of Lipton Rice Sides Broccoli and Cheddar

Salt and Pepper

Lemon Pepper Seasoning

1 Table spoon of Unsalted Butter for each piece of chicken

Red Pepper

1/2 tbl spoon Minced Garlic plus a dash more for each piece of chicken

So to get started you defrost your chicken, or you can go the easy way and buy chicken that is not frozen!! I have the salt and pepper grinders and I do 1 round of Salt and Pepper on each side of the chicken. Then I sprinkle the lemon pepper seasoning on each side. Go light with it or it will be too lemony. set the chicken aside and let it sit in the flavors.

In a small pot make the Lipton Rice Sides. Its super easy and those packages are only like $.99, you just bring 2 cups of water, 1 tblsp. of butter, and the package to a boil and simmer covered for 7 minutes. Easy, easy, easy. But heres a hint, if you like your rice thick like I do then don't put the whole 2 cups of water in the pot. I always put 2 cups then pour a dash out.

But while you are bringing the rice to a boil but your butter and minced garlic in a pan let the garlic cook just a minute. Chop your chicken into pieces and put in the pan and dash with red pepper. If you like the garlic you can put more or less in there. just whatever you desire.

When the Chicken is finished cooking  put in a plate and set aside. Get your bowls out put some of the rice in each bowl and top with the chicken. It is so good and it takes all of 15 minutes to make :)

Here is a pic of the finished product:

I would say serving size is for 2 people so if you want to make it for more just double up on everything :) Hope everyone trys this and enjoys this as much as I did!!

Until the next time,

Much Love,
