SIMPLE SUMMER CHICKEN



Simple Summer Chicken image

This is best made with organic chicken....the only chicken I serve to my family. The ones I buy are usually on the small side and cook more quickly than those plump monsters that are bought sealed in plastic. This is my classic kind of recipe - simple and tasty....the chicken is marinated AFTER cooking, rather than before. This is good served with steamed new potatoes, cole slaw and ice cold beer.

1 lb. chicken breasts
olive oil
1 lemon, cut in half
1 head romaine lettuce, washed and ripped into bite-sized pieces
1 pkg. GOOD SEASONS Italian Dressing Mix, made according to package directions

  • Divide the slices of chicken breast among the bowls, and place the strips atop the greens. Enjoy!
