This dish is exceptionally easy to make and worth every second. That said, there is one thing to note: Be careful when checking the chicken for doneness. The tomatoes will likely drip into the chicken. If you cut into the chicken or poke it with a fork to test for doneness, be sure it’s not the liquid from the tomatoes making the chicken look pink even if it’s not.

Ingredients

• 4 (4-ounce) trimmed boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• Sea salt and pepper, to taste
• Olive oil spray
• 1/2 cup canned, drained, diced fire-roasted tomatoes or fire-roasted tomatoes with garlic
• 2 ounces (about 1/2 cup) goat cheese crumbles
• 2 tablespoons finely slivered fresh basil leaves, or more to taste (optional)

(Serves 4)
Hands-on Time: 7 Minutes
Hands-off Time: 5 to 9 Minutes

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Season the chicken with salt and pepper.

Place a medium ovenproof nonstick skillet over high heat. When it’s hot, lightly mist the skillet with spray and immediately add the chicken side by side to the pan so it does not touch. Cook the chicken just until it is golden brown on the outsides, 1 to 2 minutes per side.

Remove the pan from the heat and top each piece of chicken evenly with about 2 tablespoons of the tomatoes, followed by about 1/2 ounce of the cheese. Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake the chicken until it is no longer pink inside and the cheese is melted, 5 to 9 minutes. Top evenly with the basil, if desired. Serve immediately.

How many times have you had bananas go bad right after you have purchased them. Sometimes it is hard to use them up and not get sick of the flavor. Over ripe bananas taste terrible so using them in a delicious manner is a little difficult. They can be made into bread or muffins but what if you do not have the time for that. Instead make a banana pancake recipe that will only take a little bit of time and a few other ingredients.

Bananas get over ripe when the skins start to turn brown and spotty. This is when they are absolutely perfect to cook with. Make sure the fruit of the banana does not have brown or black spots and if it does cut them out. If the consistency is a bit mushy it is time to use them to make pancakes.

To make banana pancakes you two bowls. In one you combine one cup all purpose flour, one tablespoon of sugar, two teaspoons baking powder, and one fourth teaspoon salt. Mix these ingredients well and set aside.

In bowl number two beat one egg well. Measure two tablespoons vegetable oil and one cup of milk and add it to the egg. Remove the peel from two bananas that are over ripe. Put them in a cereal bowl and mash them with a fork until they are mashed down well. Throw the banana in with egg milk combination and whisk this well with a large kitchen whisk. Now start to gradually add the mixture in the first bowl. Whisk each addition in until all mixed. If the batter gets too heavy switch to a large spoon to stir this extremely lumpy batter.

Heat a skillet on the stove and add a little vegetable oil to the bottom. Take about one fourth cup of the batter and pour it into the skillet. Once the one side gets brown turn it over for the other side to brown as well then remove to a platter and place a little bit of butter on top.

To make these pancakes a little more interesting you can add one and one or two tablespoons of peanut butter to the egg mixture for peanut butter and banana pancakes. Add one fourth cup of mini chocolate chips for banana and chocolate chip pancakes. You can also add one fourth of a cup of sliced berries to make banana berry pancakes.

You can use syrup on top of banana pancakes but there are other things you can do too. Try just some whipped cream on top. Pour some fudge sauce or chocolate syrup over top or try some caramel sauce usually used to top ice cream. Honey tastes great on banana flavored pancakes. You can make these any time of the day. They are good for breakfast for lunch or make a special dessert during the evening.
