Sesame/parmesan crusted chicken breasts

The other night was a late eating night. I had gotten home from work, but it was BEAUTIFUL outside, so the kids wanted to ride their bikes. We hung out for a while and when I came in to start dinner, my husband called and I ran to pick him up from his office, then we stopped by the cleaners…long story short, it was 6:50 and I hadn’t even started dinner, and there was still homework and all 3 of my kids needed to take a shower before bed!

I put my Rachel Ray 30 minute meal hat on and got busy!!

I knew I had chicken breast defrosted. I cut those in half to make them thinner. I soaked them in skim milk.

Next, I got a plate, poured sesame seeds on it, and some parmesan cheese and cracked pepper

Once the chicken breasts were all coated, I cooked them in a skillet with a little olive oil exactly 4 minutes per side

Threw 5 potatoes in the microwave

Got bagged salad out, cut up some carrots and red onion for a quick salad

It was actually 25 minutes from start to finish! Rachel Ray would be so proud!!

On my baked potato I added 1 tablespoon of cheese, and on my salad I added Paul Newman’s Light Italian dressing.

***Fast forward to today***

My daughter and I ran errands this morning, I stopped by a local Health food store and finally got Agave Nectar! It’s a lower glyecemic index sweetener, and it tastes really good!
