This stand-by is one of our favorites. However I do have to credit my other half for this tastey version of chicken:
Ranch Chicken with Roasted Potatoes
Ranch Chicken Ingredients:
Chicken Breasts
Ranch dressing
Minced Garlic
Dried Basil
The proportions are personal preference. I normally cook two chicken breasts, 2 tablespoons minced garlic, 2 tablespoons dried basil, and enough ranch to generously cover the breasts. For an easy marinade, put chicken breast and mixture in a Ziploc bag the night before or before leaving for work. Chicken can be cooked on a grill for an added char flavor or in a skillet on medium heat for extra ease. Continue to add left over marinade while cooking.
Garlic Roasted Potatoes:
Red Potatoes (or white potatoes)
1 package Lipton onion soup mix (Great Value is just as good)
Ground Red pepper (cayenne)
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1/4 cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil
optional sliced onion
Ok so the recipe is on the back of the box however I like to put my own take on it. Leave the skin on potatoes however be sure to wash before slicing! Cut into desired chunks. In a baking dish, combine potatoes, soup mix, minced garlic, olive oil and just a couple of dashes of red pepper (a little goes a long way). Bake at 425 degrees for about 35 minutes or until tender and golden.
Average cost of meal for two: $7
