Healthy ----- Simple Full Course Chicken Dinner

This chicken dinner is simple to make, tastes yummy, and consists of protein, vegetable, and carbs.

Note: Sorry, there are no exact measurments as this recipe I kind of made up on my own. So I basically add the ingredients to taste. It's not hard once you see the recipe. This recipe will vary depending on how many people you are cooking for. Right now I only cook for two.

What you will need:

Butterfly Cut Chicken Breasts (these cook up super fast)
1-2 eggs, depending on how many you are feeding.
Italian seasoned Bread Crumbs
1 bag of Roasted Chicken and Wild Rice flavoured Rice (eg. Uncle Bens)
1 Cauliflower
Parmesean Cheese
Olive Oil
Garlic salt
Parsley flakes
Salt and Pepper

Step One:
Wash and cut up califlower into bite size flowerettes. Drain, and place in a casserol dish. Drizzle on the cauliflower some olive oil. Then sprinkle on some garlic salt, pepper, a touch of salt, parsley flakes, and some parmesean cheese. Toss the cauliflower until the mixture coats it well.
Place lid on dish and put in oven on middle rack of a 375-400 degree oven. I usually stir the cauliflower every 15 minutes until my desired tenderness is reached.

Step Two
Pour olive oil into a pan to cover the bottom and set on stove. Turn the burner on to almost medium heat while you start to coat the chicken in the bread crumbs stated below.

Break the egg(s) into a bowl and beat with a fork until mixed.
Take chicken breats out of package and rinse. Place in the egg and mix until all chicken breasts are coated.
Pour seasoned bread crumbs on a dish. Turn on burner with pan and oil on it. Coat one peice of chicken at a time and set aside until all chicken breasts are coated with bread crumbs.
Place chicken into warm oil and cook on one side for about 5 minutes checking every couple minutes.

Meanwhile...........Once the chicken is in the pan, prepare rice according to direction on package, for how many people you need. The rice only takes about 10 minutes to cook.

Once rice is on the go it should be time to flip the chicken. Cook on the flipped side for about 5 minutes or until browned on the outside and cooked in the middle. The butterfly chicken should take no longer than 10 minutes to cook.

Everything should be done about the same time and ready to place on the tabel. I hope you like it!
