Baked chicken with noodles

Ingredients:

Boneless chicken breast (thin or slice thick ones in half longways to an inch thickness)
Egg noodles
Sauce of choice
Veggie of choice

Utensils needed:

Oven
Cookie sheet with a metal cookie cooling rack
Medium sized pot
Colander
Serving spoon/fork

Directions:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees
• Add a cup of water to the cookie sheet, place the cooling rack into the sheet (helps to spray with Pam or some other non-stick cooking spray)
• Arrange chicken breasts on the cookie rack, top with choice of sauce (some sauces I've used are melted butter with garlic and seasoned salt, or a sweet BBQ)
• Bake chicken for 25 minutes
• While chicken is baking, fill medium pot with water 3/4 full, set to boil on stovetop, cook noodles per package directions, drain with colander
• When other food is almost done, prepare veggie of choice...some popular ones in my house include corn off the cob, steamed Brussel sprouts, or a side salad

*****

Entire dinner takes 30 minutes start to finish to prep, half of that time sitting around waiting. One six ounce chicken breast with a cup of noodles and a cup of corn is under 600 calories with 60g protein.
