Hey friends! I have a really yummy recipe for you tonight. Max and I were ready for a legitimate meal after our weekend of travel and I knew exactly where to find something quick, easy and tasty…
The Real Simple Dinner in 15 iPhone App. I came home to my parent’s fridge packed with smoked chicken. Dad had his industrial sized smoker running all weekend. So I put in chicken on the app and started skimming the recipes.
Chicken with Veggies and a Homemade Vinaigrette
I changed some of the ingredients from the original recipe so I wouldn’t have to go to the store. My version was really really tasty.
Serves: 2-3
Prep time: 10 minutes
Cook time: 10 minutes
Ingredients
- 2 potatoes
- 8oz green beans
- 3 TBSP evoo
- 2 tsp spicy brown mustard
- 1 TBSP red wine vinegar (I had a garlic infused one)
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp pepper
- 1 rotisserie chicken ( I just chose the legs and a wing from our smoked chicken in the fridge)
- 1/2 can water chestnuts
- 1 bell pepper
Directions
- Scrub and dice the potatoes. Cook the potatoes in a steamer basket set in simmering water. Cover and cook for 10 minutes
- Wash and add the green beans to the steaming potatoes. Slice the bell pepper and water chestnuts. Add them to the steaming basket.
- While the veggies steam, combine the extra virgin olive oil, vinegar, salt and pepper in a small bowl. Whisk together until combined.
- If chicken isn’t heated, heat in a microwave until hot. Mine took about 3 minutes.
- Plate the chicken and split the veggies between plates. Drizzle vinaigrette dressing over veggies and chicken.
At first I didn’t think the dressing would taste very good on the chicken but it was really delicious.
We cut our potatoes a little small, 1/2 inch-1 inch cubes. These steamed perfectly in the 10 minutes.
I hope you all had a great Memorial Day Weekend!!!
