Created this over the weekend and was a hit with the BFFs. The meal is light, has a unique taste, and is just so yummy. The one thing I would recommend is either flattening out the chicken with a meat tenderizer or use chicken strips

How to make it
Basil Veggie Medley Rice:
- In a large non-stick skillet, place two dashes of sweet basil, S&P, garlic, olive oil, and a dash of sweet white wine in skillet. Place on high until garlic starts to brown then lower heat to medium high.
- Add onion and bell pepper, cover skillet. Stir occasionally until onions are clear.
- Add tomatoes and broccoli, stir occasionally and return cover. Cook until broccoli is tender.
- Add entire box of uncooked rice. The box should say to add 2 cups of water. Add the water with a little more wine, salt, pepper, and basil. Cover and stirring occasionally until the water evaporates.
- Place in a casserole dish and set aside
Parmesan and Spinach Encrusted Chicken:
- In a large mixing bowl: add corn meal, flour, cheese, 3 dashes of dip mix, and S&P to taste See Photo
- In a smaller bowl: add milk
- Place a quarter size amount of olive oil in non-stick skillet, heat oil on high heat
- Dip chicken in milk then immediately dip into cheese mixture.
- Place at most, three chicken breasts at one time in skillet. If you use chicken tenders, make sure not to crowd the pan.
- You are going to sear the chicken first to give it a nice crust. Watch the chicken so that it doesn't burn on either side. Flip to get the crust on both sides.
- Once you have a crust, turn down the heat to medium and cover. The convection will allow chicken to cook thoroughly. (this is why the chicken breasts need to be flattened or it will take a while to cook through).
- Make sure to stir often. You may have to add oil periodically to keep the chicken from sticking.
- Check thickest end of chicken to make sure it is not pink. If it is not, remove and place on top of rice veggie medley.
- Enjoy!
