Plans change....Frozen chicken to the rescue!

So tonight I had originally had plans to go out for dinner this evening.  Around 1pm today they were cancelled.  When shopping this week I didn't plan to cook at home tonight so I had the afternoon to think about what I did have to make a decent meal.

Frozen chicken comes to the rescue yet again.  We usually always have boneless chicken breasts in the freezer...the ones that are individually wrapped.  This makes for a last minute protein emergency a breeze!

So tonight I went with sautéed chicken cut up in slices, sautéed veggies (asparagus, green & yellow squash) and black beans and rice (yes you guessed it - not I get to use for stuffed peppers this week).  As I didn't buy enough rolls to for the this meal I went into Tom's stash of flour tortillas and made cheese quesadillas to go with the meal (not necessary but I love my carbs!).

Basic Sautéed Chicken
1 boneless chicken breast (sliced, cubed or keep together)
dash of garlic pepper (or any seasoning you prefer)

Heat a non stick skillet with medium high heat.  Place chicken in skilled and cook.  I tend to move around in the pan throughout cooking rather than sticking to time on each side.  Cook time will be dependent on size and cut of your chicken.  Anticipate at least 3-5 minutes a side.  Prior to leaving heat feel free to cut into chicken and ensure there is no pink or red.

Accompany with sautéed vegetables, rice & beans and you have a quick and easy meal!
