Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 20 minutes
Ingredients
- 1 chicken breast, about 1-inch thick
- 1 Tablespoon vegetable oil
- seasoning (such as salt, pepper, seasoning salt, onion powder or garlic powder)
Directions
- Wash hands with soap and water.
- Season the chicken. In a lightly oiled skillet over medium-high heat, sauté the chicken for one minute on each side until lightly browned.
- Cover the skillet with a tight-fitting lid. Reduce the heat to low. Cook for 10 minutes. Do not lift the lid.
- Turn off the heat. Let the chicken rest for 10 minutes. Do not remove the lid.
- The chicken is safely cooked when the internal temperature is at least 165 degrees F. Check in the thickest part with a food thermometer. If not done, cover and return to low heat for 3 to 5 minutes and check for doneness.
- Refrigerate leftovers within 2 hours or freeze for longer storage.
Notes
- Do not rinse raw chicken; cooking will kill bacteria.
- Wash hands and all surfaces and utensils after touching raw chicken.

Number of servings: 4 burritos
Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 30 min
Ingredients
- 1 can (15 ounces) black beans, drained and rinsed
- 2 green onions, chopped
- 1 Tablespoon lemon juice
- 1⁄4 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1⁄2 teaspoon salt, divided in half
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1⁄4 teaspoon chili powder
- 1⁄4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1⁄2 cup shredded cheese, grated (try cheddar, pepper jack, or Mexican blend)
- 4 (9 inch) flour tortillas
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Combine the beans, green onions, lemon juice, cumin, and 1/4 teaspoon of the salt in a small bowl.
- Rub the chicken breasts with the chili powder, pepper and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt.
- Cook the chicken in a skillet over medium-high heat (350 degrees in an electric skillet) for 5 minutes. Turn and cook until done, 4-5 minutes longer.
- Let chicken cool; slice into strips or chunks.
- Divide cheese evenly between tortillas. Top the cheese with equal amounts of chicken and black bean salsa mixture.
- Roll up the burritos and wrap each one in foil.
- Bake burritos until the cheese melts, about 15 minutes.
- Refrigerate leftovers within 2 hours.
Notes
- Freeze extra lemon juice to use later.
- Cook your own dry beans. One can (15 ounces) is about 1 1/2 to 1 3/4 cups drained beans.

Prep Time: 15 min
Cook Time: 30 min
Ingredients
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast (2-3 halves)
- 2 teaspoons oil
- 1 ¼ cups water
- 1 teaspoon chicken bouillon
- 1 can (10.5 ounces) condensed cream of chicken soup
- 1 teaspoon pepper
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder or 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cups small shell pasta, uncooked
- 2 ½ cups broccoli, chopped (fresh or frozen)
- 1 cup (4 ounces) cheddar cheese, shredded
Directions
- Cut chicken breast into bite sized pieces. Sauté pieces in oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat (350 degrees in an electric skillet) until lightly browned, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Add water, bouillon, soup, pepper and garlic to skillet. Stir until smooth. Add pasta and broccoli.
- Bring to a boil. Cover and reduce heat to low. Simmer until pasta is tender, 15 – 20 minutes. Add a small amount of water near end of cooking if needed to prevent sticking.
- Add cheese during last two minutes of cooking.
- Refrigerate leftovers within 2 hours.
Notes
- Try whole grain pasta for more fiber.
- Try pasta in a different shape, such as spiral or elbow.
- Add other vegetables such as peas, grated carrots or chopped bell peppers.
- In place of chicken, use 1 1/2 cups of white beans (a 15-ounce can, drained and rinsed), another meat, or canned tuna or salmon.
- Best served immediately. Reheated broccoli changes color and might have a less pleasant taste.
