Candi’s Mediterranean Chicken Breasts

Posted by Carole Anne on January 17, 2010

Chicken breasts – my favorite, are so versatile, but this is one of my favorites. What is awesome about this recipe is, it is easy to prepare taking only 20 minutes, and has all the requisites for a healthy, hearty dish. Served on a bed of wild rice with a side of long french beans and a touch of red pepper slices, it is most appealing to the eye.

INGREDIENTS:

4 organically grown chicken breasts (remove bones and skin)
1 small chopped Spanish onion
1 tsp fresh chopped oregano (or dried) leaves
1 – 19 oz. Italian diced tomatoes (drained)
2 tsp minced garlic
1/4 cup home made sundried tomato and oregano dressing(use blender cup)
3 cups hot cooked wild rice
2 cups long French beans cooked

NOW FOLLOW ME:

Using large stainless steel frypan, lightly oiled with olive oil, add chicken breasts and cook until lightly browned on both sides and crispy tender.

Add diced Italian tomatoes, tomato and oregano dressing, and garlic stirring gently. Cook until chicken is covered and cooked throughout.

Serve on bed of wild rice, with steamed french beans, garnished with thin slices of crispy red peppers. Voila!

Once again, this healthy recipe is a definite positive recipe for healthy living and is a fast and easy dinner dish as a bonus. I think the red peppers as garnish on the chicken dish really colour it up, adding healthy benefits of vitamin C as well.

Healthy Recipes always recommends that you thoroughly cook poultry and it is wise to purchase a meat thermometer if you are uncertain about whether your chicken is cooked. The thermometer should tell you what temperature is correct for which meat.

Another tip is to always bleach any cutting boards, or utensils used when preparing meat. It only takes a second and can save you from some pretty nasty stomach ailments – i.e. salmonella. “lways be prepared”, is my motto! Happy Eating!
