My Easy Week Day Dinner

/4 Comments/in , /by

 

Good Morning Everyone,

I hope you all had a great weekend. Roses were on sale at my local grocery store for $6 a dozen! I had to get a few for home. 

Ahhh September will begin this week. I am hoping for cooler temperatures. I have been so desperate to open some windows but it has been much too hot!  

Today I just wanted to share one of my weekly dinner go-to’s. I love having an easy yet healthy dinner during the week. I really don’t like eating out so I try to have meals planned to stop my husband! 

One of my favorite meals is my roasted chicken, veggies, and steam rice meal. It is so easy and is ready in less than an hour. 


So I always buy chicken breast tenderloins. I noticed that they are much smaller and cook faster. I use to buy chicken breasts but I noticed that they were getting bigger and I didn’t like that. Also, they took longer to cook. 

I place the tenderloins in a baking pan but I do spray it with some Pam Olive Oil cooking spray. I love it. After that, I pour on some extra virgin olive oil, Montreal chicken seasoning, and some Lawry’s seasoned salt on both sides of the chicken tenderloin. 

It’s then placed in the oven at 400 degrees for about 45 minutes.

This is how it comes out. I also roast broccoli, carrots, or whatever vegetables we have. I buy a lot of frozen bag veggies. They roast great in the oven. We also have a rice steamer that cooks our rice in minutes. This is a family favorite and works well. 


I hope you all enjoyed this quick meal idea and try some of those seasonings. You might be pleasantly surprised! 

Have a great Monday!

    Hi Mrs. Shockley,

    Thanks for sharing your easy weekday dinner. I am always looking for inspiration, especially for weekdays when there just isn't much time for creativity in the kitchen. I will try the roasted veggies. I never succeeded at them,but will give it a go again. It's a nice change from steamed veggies I bet.
    Take care,

    Mya

      Hi Mya,
      I agree. Creativity is not encouraged on a weekday. I try to get on Pinterest and get new recipes but my husband and daughter are horrible at trying new things.
      Please try the roasted veggies. I will buy a bag of frozen broccoli, pour some in the pan, pour some olive oil, salt and pepper over them and let them roast for about 45 minutes in the oven. They come out great! Let me know.

    Good Morning Mrs. Shockley,
    How are you, my friend. This post is great. I have been noticing that the chicken breasts are huge, lately. I cut them in half, especially for the crockpot. I am going to try some cutlets for other types of cooking, like this easy recipe. I have been using Montreal Steak Seasoning for years, since it was in a recipe for pork tenderloin that is one of my easy go to recipes. Thanks for the tip on frozen broccoli, I am going to try that….I don't typically by broccoli because it's too much work. This sounds easy and healthy. I hope you are all doing well. Warmly Kathleen
