One Pan Chicken and Vegetables

So I actually found this recipe on the back of a Swanson Chicken Stock box- but it wasn't actually "clean" (actually I'm not sure that chicken stock is even "clean" but I knew every ingredient in it, so that's clean enough) So I had to change it up a bit. Also when I read the world "oregano" for some reason I thought "cilantro" so theres that too- so feel free to use Oregano instead of Cilantro, although that cilantro tastes bomb in it (but I know some people say it tastes like dirt?? those people are not my friends)

Chicken with Vegetables

1/2 tsp Paprika

1/2 tsp Black Pepper

4 chicken breasts

1 medium onion- quartered 

1 lbs baby potatoes- cut in half

half a bag of baby carrots

1 1/2 cups Chicken stock

1/4 cup Cilantro chopped

few drops of olive oil

Preheat oven to 350

lather chicken with Paprika and pepper 

In a dutch oven, spread a few drops of olive oil, and place chicken on top, cook on the stove, for about 10 minutes, turning half way, until brown. Remove any fat from the bottom of the dutch oven (I didn't have any since I cut the fat off before I cooked the chicken, but if you didn't, drain it out, because that's gross)

Add the potatoes, and onions and cook and addition 5 minutes. 

add carrots, stock and cilantro and heat until boiling. 

Bake, covered for 20 minutes, stir and then uncover and continue to bake for an additional 15 minutes. 

Mexican Stuffed Pita Pockets

I actually just downloaded all of my phone pictures onto my computer and I found this GEM of a treat!!! I had almost forgotten all about it, and I didn't even use my nice camera for the picture, so I must not have intended on sharing the recipe- but I changed my mind, the world should know how delicious this is!!

Mexican Stuffed Pita Pockets

1 can of black beans - drained and rinsed

1 can of corn- drain

1 rice avocado- chopped into chunks

1/2 cup of shredded Mexican cheese

1 large tomato diced

1 small onion- diced

1/2 bunch of cilantro- chopped

salt and pepper to taste

package of pita pockets cut in half.

in a large mixing bowl, mix everything together (aside for the pita), fill pita pockets with mixture and enjoy!! 

Chicken and Asparagus Stir Fry

So this is really less of a recipe, and more of any idea. since its so easy, its hard to even call it a "recipe"- you could probably just look at the picture and figure out how to make it, but either way I will share it- also I know soy sauce isn't actually a "clean" food, but it says right on the packaging that preservatives make up 1/10 of 1% of the ingredients, and well screw it, that's clean enough!

Chicken Asparagus Stir Fry

2 chicken breasts- chunked

1 bunch of Asparagus (ends cut off and then cut into 2-3 inch sticks)

2-3 cloves of garlic- diced

soy sauce- to taste

In a fry pan, add chicken, and asparagus (I suppose you could use some oil, but I'm trying to cut that out of my life right now) after a few minutes, add garlic and soy sauce to taste.  cook until chicken is well cook! boom too easy! 

dinner is served
