Laid Back Mediterranean Sunday

9/23/13

Since Sundays are all about relaxing and enjoying your favorite things, Justin followed through by watching football and I decided it was a perfect night to cook a delicious dinner. I was inspired by my Mrs. Dash Mediterranean Seasoning to create an easy chicken dish accompanied with vegetables and cheesy potatoes. This meal was quick to make (I made it in 45 min between the Emmy Red Carpet and Bears game). It ended up turning out delicious and it surprisingly tasted even better for lunch the next day!

Ingredients:

Chicken:
4-6 Chicken Breasts (Thawed)
1 Tbsp Vegetable Oil or Olive Oil
1/4 Cup Flour
2 Tbsp Mediterranean Herb Seasoning
1/2 Cup Chicken Broth
1 Large Onion
1 Large Red Pepper
1 Large Green Pepper
1 Tomato
Salt & Pepper For Seasoning

* If you are adding the cheesy potatoes as a side, you will need 1/2 cup of milk. We just used a box kit and it takes about 20 minutes to prepare, so you will need to start preparing the oven while you chop the vegetables.

Directions:

1. Chop up onions and peppers into thick pieces.
2. Dice up tomato and separate from other vegetables.
3. Mix 1 Tbsp of mediterranean seasoning with the flour.
4. Completely coat each chicken breast in the flour mixure.
5. Heat large saute pan with oil (on medium-high) and place chicken breasts onto pan. Add additional seasoning if desired.
6. Once chicken is cooked halfway through, add the peppers to the skillet.
7. Once peppers are cooked partially, add in the tomato and chicken broth.
8. Turn down heat to a simmer and cover the pan so that the chicken and vegetables are able to absorb all of the flavor.
9. Plate the chicken and vegetables and side it with the cheesy potatoes. Now you are ready for a perfect sunday night meal! =)
