A friend gardens and shared her extra produce with me (which is awesome as I live in an apartment, sans garden).
This is a rendition of eggplant parmesan, made with stewed, simmered chunked and seasoned roma tomatoes, layed a piece of steamed tilapia filets, and egg washed and battered sliced eggplant, topped with parmesan cheese and steamed with a side of steamed fresh green beans (and a limed glaze)
Yes, another one pot wonder meal to the rescue (and at an affordable price, too!)
I enjoy one pot meals because they are easy to make, affordable, and can simmer without being slaved over. I use easy to find, inexpensive ingredients too so we can all save our pennies for travel, adventures and other hobbies.
2 chicken breasts (2 cans of chunked chicken breast also work, whichever is found on sale)
2 bell peppers (or raw poblanos)
2 cans of red kidney beans (75 cents each at my local Aldi’s)
2 cans of tomatoes (I used the pre seasoned ones with oregano and basil)
2 toes of garlic, salt and pepper
Cook the chicken in a deep pan/skillet, until done, cut into chunks
Chop up garlic and peppers
Open cans of beans and tomatoes, don’t drain, add everything to the chicken pan
Simmer for 30 minutes
Can be served over rice, too, if prefered
