A Pinch of Joy

Eat Healthy, Do it Yourself, Live Well, Have Fun.

Tuscan Chicken Rice Bowl

Tuscan Chicken Rice Bowl -- A Pinch of Joy A delicious meal, ready to eat in about 30 minutes.  You can assemble from scratch which may take a just a few minutes longer at cooking time or freeze ahead of time, thaw overnight and have it ready in a flash for a healthy work night meal.  Add a quick salad of spring greens, feta cheese, a few walnuts and blueberries.

Look for chicken breast fillets as they are about half an inch thick and will cook quickly and evenly.  Most stores will carry them, but if you don’t find them make your own fillets.  With a sharp knife slice a chicken breast lengthwise into half inch pieces.  Look for chopped mushrooms if you have a “fungus-phobe” like Bytes at your house.  He’ll eat chopped mushrooms with little comment, but objects to the bigger pieces.  (We’re making progress with that — lol!)  You’ll have Tuscan seasoning left over.  Store it tightly covered in a small bottle or jar for another time.
