With Spring Break upon us, today, I once again made the two trips into town and knew it would be another late evening. Before I left for the second time I prepared the chicken breast using a recipe that my cousin posted on facebook just last night. Since I knew I was using chicken and this recipe called for the amount I had it was a no brainer. Once prepared, I tossed a lid on my casserole dish and placed it in the fridge to be oven ready when I got back home.
As I was making my way home it occurred to me that if I called ahead my hubby could pull the casserole dish out of the fridge and get the oven preheating for me.
When I got home the chicken went into the oven straight away and needed 45 minutes to bake. Now, I could have used that 45 minutes to make from scratch side dishes but I had exactly 45 minutes still left to work to complete my eight hour work day, so to the computer I went.
When the chicken was done and needing to rest I threw some home canned green beans on the stove along with instant (yep I said instant) applewood smoked bacon cheddar mashed potatoes.
The result, a dinner that was liked by all, a completed work day without having to stay up later and leftovers to make packing hubby's lunch tomorrow morning a breeze.
