Chicken Mozzarella

This recipe is very easy, has just a few ingredients and can be prepared and cooked within 30 minutes! Gotta love it and it still tastes good and looks really nice for company. I chop my vegetables for the rice pilaf first so the rice can cook at the same time as the chicken. My students made this last week and they were licking their plates! I guess they liked it.

Chicken Mozzarella

*Chicken breast (enough for your family)
*1 clove garlic (or more if your husband doesn't balk at the smell. I love you hun!)
*Olive oil
*1 can diced tomatoes with garlic and basil
*four slices Mozzarella cheese

1. Warm olive oil in a skillet with high sides over medium high heat. Add garlic and chicken. I cut my chicken into bite size pieces, but you can place the whole breast in the pan if you prefer.2. After the chicken is browned just a little (about 3 or 4 minutes) pour the can of tomatoes over the top. Cover and simmer for 20 minutes.3. When chicken is cooked through top with the cheese slices and cover again for about a minute. Serve over rice pilaf.

Rice Pilaf

*2 cups water
*1 cup rice
*1 teaspoon salt
*1 tablespoon olive oil
*1 medium green bell pepper, diced
*1 yellow squash, diced

1. Put first four ingredients in your pot and bring to a boil (just like the instructions on the bag of rice). When you turn it down to simmer, add the vegetables and cover. It takes about 20 minutes for the rice to absorb the water and for the vegetables to get tender.
2. Mix and serve! Easy!
