Tip #7 Revitalize yourself

Time seems to be nonexistent these days, though I do hope you are finding time to eat some delicious food!

With finals and winter break plans, along with Christmas shopping and holiday baking, I’d like to know who has the time to eat, or even the money to spend on food?

Well, you’ve probably guessed it…I do! I love food too much to sacrifice it for time. I also make sure whatever I’m eating is within budget…so I can assure you I will always give up time so I can eat.

 During my finals week I took the time to make this simple dinner plate that consisted of chicken and broccoli. I honestly became bored with the simple chicken cutlet for dinner. Therefore, I decided to add broccoli to the meal and put breadcrumbs on both. After cooking the breaded chicken and broccoli, I then sliced the chicken into bite size pieces. For a little more taste, I topped the dish with mozzarella cheese and Italian dressing.

My dinner was so yummy, and just what I needed to recharge for  finals week.



Ingredients:
Chicken
 Broccoli
 Breadcrumbs
1 egg
Mozzarella cheese
Italian dressing
Olive oil
Directions:
In a bowl, crack an egg and scramble. Coat the chicken with egg. Pour a generous amount of breadcrumbs in a plate. Take the egg coated chicken and coat with breadcrumbs. Cook chicken in a frying pan, drizzled in olive oil.
While the chicken is cooking, coat the broccoli with egg, then with breadcrumbs. Add broccoli to the frying pan. Cook until breadcrumbs begin to darken and chicken is fully cooked.
Cut chicken into bite size pieces. Drizzle Italian dressing and top with mozzarella cheese.

I do hope you’ll make some time during this hectic week to try out this simple yet rewarding recipe or any of the other recipes! You’ll instantly feel rejuvenated, but not only that…you’ll have another night with food on the table and money still in your pocket!
