Monday Night Cooking

Monday’s… What can I say? This day started off quite dreary in the Carolinas…..back to work..five days until the weekend…. go ahead and admit it…we love our weekends…

But we all make a choice…and Monday’s can be fun…. so working happily through Monday and in the back of our minds, an amazing Monday night dinner..

I started with 4 chicken breast seasoned with salt and pepper on an sheet pan rubbed down in olive oil….they headed into a 350 degree oven while I “prepped the veggies”…baby potatoes…fresh green beans and Roma tomatoes

First things first, four chicKen breast seasoned with salt and pepper….and roasted for about 30 minutes… toss the potatoes and fresh green beans in olive oil and Kosher salt.

Roast the chicken breast for about 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and add the potatoes. Roast for another fifteen minutes, add the green beans on top and roast about 10 more minutes. Add the Roma tomatoes and roast for an additional 30 minutes.

Remove the roasted chicken and veggies from the oven and sprinkle freshly grated Parmesan cheese on top of the Roma tomatoes. Place pan back in the oven and bake until the cheese is light golden and bubbly. In the meantime, toss together a spring mix salad with black olives, cherry tomatoes and Brianna’s Italian Vinaigrette. Remove the delicious roasted chicken and veggies from the oven and serve with the spring mix salad. Wonderful Monday night dinner!
