This is a toss and forget meal. The small amount of olive oil, and remembering to place the chicken on the bottom, will ensure that the meat is tender and moist. Any large frozen vegetable will work, but remember, Cooking is a Creative Sport. Ingredients:
1 thawed boneless skinless chicken breast |
1 1/2 cups frozen vegetables (i like a combination of caulflower, broccoli, and carrots) |
1 lemon, juice of, please |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon black pepper |
1 teaspoon olive oil |
Directions:
1. Preheat an oven to 400 degrees.

3. Place the thawed chicken breast in the bottom of a 1 1/2 quart baking dish.
4. Place the frozen vegetables on top of the chicken.
5. Pour the juice from one lemon on last.
6. Cover and bake for 30 minutes.
7. Remove the vegetables and chicken with a sloted spoon.
