Grecian-Style Chicken

Grecian-Style Chicken

1/8 cup bread crumbs
1/8 cup ground flax seed
2 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
2 tbsp oil
1 small zucchini, halved lengthwise and chopped
1/2 medium onion, chopped
1/2 green pepper, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/8 tsp salt
1/8 tsp pepper
3 tsp lime or lemon juice
2 cups hot cooked rice (or orzo)
1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese

1. Place bread crumbs and flax seed in a shallow bowl. Coat chicken with it.
2. In large skillet heat 1 tbsp oil. Add chicken and cook for 10-12 minutes, until tender and no longer pink.
3. Meanwhile, heat 1 tbsp oil in skillet. Add zucchini, green pepper, onion, garlic, salt and pepper. Cook for 3-4 minutes. Add lime or lemon juice and cook for 1 more minute.
4. Place rice in bowl/plate, cover with veggie mix, top with chicken and crumbled feta.

Notes: I use long grain wild rice or brown rice with this recipe. I've never actually tried orzo, though I'd like to one of these days. It's a quicker meal to make, maybe half an hour, and it's great! The recipe as is serves two adults. It can easily be doubled or more.

Recipe Origination: From "Treasured Recipes" with a few personal tweaks.
