Delicious and Easy Chicken Meal

This quick and easy dinner gives you everything. You have your meat, grain and vegetable. These classic flavors seem to just be perfect together with every bite.

Chicken: On a pre-heated skillet (electric or on stovetop) drizzle about one tablespoon of olive oil. Lay each chicken breast out evenly on the skillet sprinkle salt pepper and oregano on each and let them cook for about 5-6 minutes on each side. This is such a easy way to make chicken- I have it in sandwiches for lunch, put on top of salads or add to dishes. It is so flavorful yet healthy and light.

Rice: For this meal I like to use brown rice to keep the light theme going on. Follow the directions on the back of the package to  make the rice.

Onions: Chop up half of a large sized onion and saute it on medium speed in a medium sized pan. After about five minutes add about a tablespoon of your favorite salad dressing (i used a aged balsamic vinaigrette). I like to use something that has a hint of sweetness in it.

Place a heaping spoonful of rice onto the rice and cut the chicken into strips on top of the rice. Add the onions to the top along with a little chopped parsley and diced tomato for color. Very easy meal and can be made for many servings (just make the whole onion). Enjoy! Comment on how it comes out!
