Grilled Chicken, Pasta Salad, and Squash

This dinner was so refreshing and light. We loved it!

Grilled Chicken


chicken cutlets
EVOO
kickin chicken seasoning

Drizzle chicken with EVOO and sprinkle on seasoning. Grill until done. SO EASY!


Squash


3 yellow squash
cumin
grill seasoning
EVOO
1/4 onion
1 tomato
2% milk shredded cheese, small handful

Slice the squash about 1/4 inch thick. Slice the onion thinly. Dice up the tomato. Heat a skillet and drizzle with EVOO. Add the squash and onion and brown. Add seasoning to taste. I just sprinkled until it looked good. When the squash is almost done, add the tomatoes. I added cheese to entice my kids.


Pasta Salad


1 box ditalini pasta, cooked
4-5 garden fresh tomatoes, diced
1/4 red onion, diced small
1/4 green bell pepper, diced small
grill seasoning
Italian Dressing

Mix the first 4 above ingredients in large bowl. Sprinkle with grill seasoning or salt and pepper. Drizzle with salad dressing, enough to coat the salad, but not too much. Chill until ready to serve. Would be great with parmesan cheese, but I didn't have any.

Voila! It was awesome. No leftovers.


Ethan wasn't crazy about the squash, but I made him eat some of it.

Coconut Curry Chicken with Cajun Sweet Potatoes and Rice

At bunco last month we had this for dinner along with fresh fruit. It was so GOOD! I have made it at least 3-4 times now.

Coconut Curry Chicken

4 Chicken breasts cut into large chunks
flaked coconut
curry powder
EVOO
salt and pepper

Drizzle the chicken with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. In a bowl put about 1 1/2 cups coconut and about 1 Tbs curry powder and mix together. Put chicken in bowl and generously coat chicken with coconut. Place on a baking sheet. Bake at 375 for about 20-30 minutes, until chicken is done.



Cajun Sweet Potatoes

4 sweet potatoes
tony cajun seasoning
EVOO

Peel and dice sweet potatoes into half inch cubes. Put in a large bowl. Drizzle EVOO on potatoes and sprinkle with cajun seasoning. How much depends on your preference. Spread potatoes onto a baking sheet and bake for about 25-30 minutes at 375. Half way though turn the potatoes for even browning. These can be baked along with the chicken.

Serve with rice.
