I had a ripe avocado and wanted to make something with it.
Chicken Bake
2 Chicken Breasts, cleaned and cut into 3 chicken tender size pieces
1 Small Yellow Onion, chopped finely
4T Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1t Fresh Oregano, finely chopped
4 Slices of Sharp Cheddar Cheese
3 Pieces of Bacon, cooked at breakfast, crumbled
To Taste, Salt and Pepper
Cook the onion in the olive oil till just starting to turn translucent. Pour the onion and oil mixture into your baking dish. Put the fresh oregano into the dish too. Mix the onions, oil, and oregano together, then add the raw chicken pieces. Coat the chicken pieces with the mixture already in the dish then spread the pieces out evenly. Add salt and pepper to taste. Put the crumbled bacon on top of the chicken. Put the cheddar cheese on top of everything. Place in a preheated 350° oven. Bake 20 min. Then broil till the cheese starts to brown.
Sauce or Side
1 Can Bushes Seasoned Black Beans
1 Package of Frozen Shoepeg Corn, cooked on shortest time, then rinsed and drained
1 Avocado, chopped
1 Large Yellow Onion, chopped
1 Box of Cherry Tomatoes, halved, or quartered if they’re really big
Juice of One Lemon
To Taste, Salt and Pepper
Extra Virgin Olive Oil, just enough to cook the onions in
Combine the avocado, cherry tomatoes, lemon juice, salt, and pepper and set aside. Saute the onion in the oil till translucent. Add the can of beans, sauce included. Heat till simmering. When you finish baking the chicken, and start to broil it, add the corn to the pan. Then get the sauce up to a simmer again. Take the pan off the heat and add the avocado and cherry tomato mixture to the bean mixture. Serve over the chicken or on the side. 🙂
