Try This Healthy Refreshing Meal!

Hi everyone! Sorry it’s been so long. I wanted to share with you all today a wonderful easy dinner I just made. Although I’ve never been a chef myself, eating healthy and experimenting with spices makes it easy to cook anything. Here’s my dinner recipe!

Lemon Chicken with Whole Grain Rice and Snow Peas

Skinless Boneless Chicken Breasts

Lemons

Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO)

Garlic

Italian Seasoning

Pepper

Garlic Powder

1. Marinate chicken by placing it in a bag with freshly squeezed lemon juice and rind, EVOO, Italian Seasonings, and Pepper. Leave in fridge anywhere from 30 minutes to 24 hours.

2. After letting it marinate, cut chicken into small square pieces and place on skillet on medium heat. Cut fresh garlic and add to the skillet along with the lemon rinds, EVOO, Italian Seasonings and Pepper to your liking. Cook for about 10-15 minutes covered or until chicken is no longer pink inside.

3. Wash and cut off the ends of the snow peas. Place in a different skillet on medium heat with EVOO, fresh garlic, pepper, Italian Seasoning and Garlic Powder. Cook for about 2 minutes or until the skin browns just a bit.

4. For the whole grain rice, I use the Success brand so that you can put the individual bags in a pot with boiling water and have it done in about 3 minutes. Add EVOO and spices to the rice to your liking.

5. Serve it all on a plate with some extra lemon slices for those that want a little more of its flavor.

And there you have a healthy, refreshing meal. Hope you enjoy!
