INGREDIENTS:
1 Chicken breast
Italian seasoning
Garlic Powder
1/2 c. Artisan lettuce
1/2 c. Lemon juice
1 Sweet potato or 1 c. frozen mixed veggies
Directions:
1. Wash off the chicken breast and cut off all the fat.
2. Lay the chicken in a pan and season it with italian seasoning and garlic powder. I usually just sprinkle across the chicken and then flip it over to the other side. You do not want to much because the taste can be overpowering.
3. Preheat oven to 375 and put chicken in for 40 min. NOTE: about ten minutes before the chicken is done drizzle a little bit of the lemon juice over the chicken to let it soak in.
4. Take the Artisan lettuce and tear it into smaller pieces. Place it on the plate as it will be the bed for the chicken.
5. Once chicken is done cooking let it cool as needed and then place the chicken on the lettuce. Whatever leftover lemon juice you have drizzle the rest on top of the chicken and lettuce.
Sweet Potato:
1. Wash off the potato
2. Take a fork and poke holes all around the potato (that way when it cooks it is evenly warmed)
3. Place in the microwave for about ten minutes
4. Once done cooking take out let cool and peel off the skin of the potato. Preferably I do not like to eat a sweet potato whole, I like to mash it up as if they were yams.
*If you would like a sweeter taste and butter or cinnamon
Frozen Vegtables:
Go to any store and pick up a bag of frozen vegetables and cook as directed
