2 Great Meal ideas, that are EASY!

Idea 1: Grilled Chicken on a bed of lettuce with pecans and berries!
Basically that is it.
What you need:
A head of romaine lettuce
strawberries
blueberries
pecans
chicken breasts (sauteed in olive oil and seasoned with salt and pepper)
Wash up the produce, chop it up, and then saute the chicken, and you are done!
The flavors of the berries blend SO well with the chicken, lettuce, and the pecans!
Idea 2:
Sprouts chicken with veggies
Sprouts Farmers Market, which is a store in various states (TX, CA, AZ and CO) has this amazing seasoned chicken at the meat counter called: pollo assado. It is seriously delicious!
So, all you need is a few pounds of the seasoned chicken, which on sale I believe is $1.99 a pound or maybe $2.50 a pound, I can't quite remember. Then just brown it for a few minutes and throw it in an oven safe pot with whatever veggies you like. We have done carrots, green beans, and new potatoes or regular potatoes. Cook it on low for a few hours in the oven with the top on and it makes an amazing chicken stew-like dish that hardly takes any work. You could also try it in a slow cooker, and put it on before you go to work or get your day started.
Both of these ideas are courtesy of my Dad. He discovered this chicken at Sprouts and loves the berry salad. Thanks for the great ideas Dad.
