Italian Lemon Chicken

 When we travel and stay in condos, we like to cook some of our meals in the condo.  But, without basic supplies, these meals must be very simple.  I came up with this recipe, using those parameters.  It is delicious.  

Italian Lemon Chicken
 2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into serving-size pieces
1 bottle Italian Dressing
 2 lemons
 1 gallon Ziplock bag

Sprinkle the chicken with salt and pepper and put in the ziplock bag.  Squeeze a lemon over the chicken.  Pour the bottle of dressing into the bag.  Close the bag and knead until ingredients are blended.  Put in the fridge for an hour or more.
Coat a fry pan with oil spray and put in a pat of butter.  Take the chicken out of the marinade and brown on both sides. 


 Pour the marinade over the chicken and add more butter.  Cover and cook until done and you have a nice silky sauce.  Squeeze the other lemon over the chicken.

Serve with rice, potatoes, or as shown here with sweet potatoes.  Spoon the sauce over the chicken.

Burrito Bowls

 Michelle made us these delicious and easy Burrito Bowls when we visited.  They are healthy and every one of her kids loved it.  She pressure cooked her black beans, but you could use canned.

Burrito Bowls   

Quinoa, cooked

Black beans, pressure cooked in Instant pot or canned

Corn ( Cook in a skillet with oil, garlic salt, salt, pepper, cilantro, lemon juice, pepper flakes- all to taste)

Avocado, chopped

Salsa

Let everyone layer the ingredients in a bowl.  Other ingredients of choice could be added like chicken, sour cream, rice, onion, tomato, etc.
