Quick Chicken Dinner
An easy chicken dinner. Just one skillet and real good.
Ingredients
- olive oil
- 1 tbsp butter obtional
- 2 boneless skinless chicken filets
- salt and pepper to taste
- garlic powder
- grated parmesan sheese to taste
- 1 small onion cut into rings
- 1 medium size potatoe softened in microwave and coarsly chopped up
- 5 small sprigs asparagus cut into about 1" pieces
- 1 medium size zucchini cut into 1/2 " slices
- 3 cloves large garlic cloves sliced
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil or 1 tbsp. dried basil
Instructions
- Put a skillet on at medium high and eyeball enough olive oil to cover the bottom. If you want to you could add about a tablespoon of butter, I do. Salt, pepper, garlic powder and grated parmesan cheese each side of the chicken fillets. After you sprinkle the parmesan on use the side of your knife to press the cheese on to the chicken.
- Cut up the veggies as the chicken cooks. About 3-5 minutes a side depending on how thick they are. When they are firm to a poke or the juices run clear or they read 165 on a meat thermometer move them to a plate that will catch the drippings.
- Then put in the veggies, all except the garlic and the basil. Sprinkle them with a little salt, pepper and grated parmesan. Toss them a few times as they cook. When they are starting to wilt and show signs of cooking on their edges push them off to the side of the skillet and add the garlic and the basil to the bare spot. Also put the chicken filets back in on top of everything. Let the garlic and basil cook a little and the filets heat back up. Just about a minute to a minute and a half. Stir the garlic and basil in with the other veggies.Then serve it up!
