Chicken, broccoli, baked potato Stir Fry - Healthy Style

"Go To Dinner #1"

I can't tell you how many times I've made this recipe over the past 8 years. Let's just say it's been a lot and safe to say more than 1,000 times.  I still love the combination.  There are a couple of variations and it all depends on which carb item I have made up and in the refrigerator waiting to be tossed together to make this 'best ever' comfort food healthy dinner.  I keep the ingredients SIMPLE so I can throw it together when I'm hungry and takes no more than 10 minutes from refrigerator to microwave to table.  As long as you have these items pre-cooked and in the refrigerator to grab when you need them, it's really the best meal in a hurry and filling, too.  (You'll notice a variation of this recipe further down the blog...Go To #3.  This #1 meal has fewer ingredients and was the original recipe.

2-3 cups frozen broccoli florets

1 baked **potato with skin
1/2 -1 whole cooked chicken breast (skinless/boneless)
1 slice fat free American or Sharp Kraft Cheese (you can use shredded cheddar or Parmesan, but recommend you use reduced fat cheeses if not fat free)

In a microwavable dish, cook broccoli on High for 3 minutes.  Add potato, diced, and chicken breast, diced.  Microwave on high for additional 1-2 minutes.  Stir well and microwave additional minute if food isn't well heated.  Tear sliced cheese and lay it over top of hot food and mircrowave (covered) another 30 seconds to one minute, until cheese is melted.

Pepper to taste...stir one last time to blend flavors and melted cheese and serve!

** Other variations include substituting the baked potato with 1-1/2 cups cooked whole-grain spaghetti or  or 1-1/2 cups cooked brown rice.   Remember this is the "keep it simple" dinner.  No need for additional ingredients when these few hit the spot every time!
