Cooking with Ryan: Baked Chicken

Cooking with Ryan: Baked Chicken

This was a pretty simple dish, but still got the job done, nutritionally. The chicken was baked in chicken broth and Italian dressing (the specks on top of the breast are leftovers from the evaporated dressing) for about an hour. It was a little dry, but I think that had a lot to do with the fact that the breast was partially frozen and I left it in the oven for longer than I should have.

The vegetables were zucchini, tomato and onions dusted with some various spices. I forgot to get cilantro, but the dill and coriander (same thing as cilantro, just dried) were all right. I added a bit too much pepper, but it made the vegetables a little more interesting. It was really the first time that spices stood out on veggies. And if you were wondering, they spent about 15 minutes in the oven as well.

It was a nice little meal, easy to make, and easy to expand to others (I actually made two breasts) if needed. It wasn’t the most flavorful chicken, but it was a good way to eat veggies.

Of course, the most important thing about this post? I don’t have to talk about icky sports for a while. Ugh, how depressing.
