Delicious Flavor and Good for You!

Sun Dried tomatoes are a wonderful ingredient to keep on hand in the freezer and pull out for an easy last-minute dinner.  They are tomatoes that are dried in the sun so all of the tomato flavors and nutrients concentrate.  Sun Dried tomatoes provide vitamins C and K, iron, and the antioxidant, lycopene, which makes them a healthy ingredient to add to your meals.

PREP-AHEAD TO MAKE YOUR SUN DRIED TOMATO CHICKEN

We are all extremely busy and making dinner during the week can be overwhelming.  Prepping meals ahead can make ALL the difference!  So, here are the steps you can do the day(s) in advance and store in the fridge…

For this recipe, you can prepare it entirely in advance and let the chicken marinate in the tomatoes.  Then simply cook in the oven when ready to eat!

Start by making the sauce.  Add the Sun Dried Tomatoes, Olive Oil, Water, Garlic, Salt, and Pepper to a mini food processor.  My Cuisinart Mini Food Processor is one of my absolute favorite and most used gadgets in my kitchen!

Pulse to blend until creamy with small pieces of tomato.

Add to 3 chicken breasts in bag, scoop the tomato sauce on top, then squish it around so all of the chicken is coated.   Marinate overnight or just mix and then transfer to baking sheet pan.  You can add a fourth chicken breast if you like, just check the recipe notes for ingredient increases.

COOK YOUR SUN DRIED TOMATO CHICKEN 

Place the Sun Dried Tomato Chicken breasts on an oiled sheet pan and bake in a 400F degree oven for 20 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165F.

NOTE!!  Let the chicken rest after you take it out of the oven!  You want it to rest for at least 5 minutes so that the juices from the chicken redistribute instead of seeping out.  This way, the chicken stays moist and juicy!

I like to slice each breast into 4 slices on an angle and then serve each person 3 slices.  Serve with rice, potatoes, pasta, or quinoa.  Add a salad or roasted vegetables and it’s an easy meal!  Try these delicious side dishes to go with this Sun Dried Tomato Chicken:

ENJOY!

Recipe Notes

Note, serving size here is about 6 ounces per serving.  3 Chicken breasts each about 8oz, can then be sliced and served in 4 portions.  If you want to add a 4th chicken breast, simply increase the sun dried tomatoes to 3/4 cup and add a touch more water and olive oil to ensure you get a smooth texture with some small tomato bits.

PREP-AHEAD TO MAKE YOUR COOKING ‘KIT’

You are busy, so these are the steps you can do a day or two in advance to prepare food ahead!  (See the recipe below for more details)

This Banana Ice Cream literally has only 2 ingredients: Frozen Bananas and Almond Milk.  My younger daughter is dairy free, so I used Almond Milk, but you can use any milk you have in your house.  To prep ahead, you do need to slice and freeze the bananas, but that’s really it.  This is easiest to do the night before you make them, but in a pinch, they can usually freeze in just a few hours.

I like to buy lots of bananas…some we can peel and eat and others that I let get really ripened and then slice and freeze for smoothies and this ice cream.

Tip: When you slice the bananas, put them into a plastic freezer bag and then slide the slices around into a single layer.  This prevents the slices from sticking together in a big clump and allows them to blend up much easier in the blender or food processor.

MAKING YOUR BANANA ICE CREAM SANDWICHES:

Once the banana slices are frozen, add 2 cups frozen banana slices to a food processor or blender with 1/2 cup Almond milk (or any milk you have on hand).  Pulse to get the blending started and once you see it starting to come together you can just blend.  If it is still way too thick and not really blending smooth, you can add another tablespoon of milk but be careful not to add too much liquid as you want it to be thick like soft serve ice cream.

Next, break your graham crackers in half so that you have 2 rectangle pieces per sandwich ‘slice’.  Place one graham ‘slice’ down on a sheet pan.  TIP: I like to cover the sheet pan with parchment so that the sandwiches are less likely to stick and it’s easy clean up for me.  Add a scoop of banana ice cream to the graham cracker bottom, then top with the second graham ‘slice’.
