For dinner last evening, I made chicken breasts and baby red potatoes in gravy and steamed broccoli. I cut Tyson boneless, skinless chicken breasts that I had previously grilled into 2-inch-wide strips and arranged in a large sauté pan. I cooked baby red potatoes for 4 minutes in the microwave oven, halved, and arranged with the chicken strips in the sauté pan. I poured chicken gravy over the chicken and potatoes, seasoned with Tony Chachere's More Spice, ground black pepper, and garlic powder, and turned the burner to low. I cleaned two large heads of broccoli, cut into sections, and placed in a covered casserole dish. When Laura arrived home, she tended to the chicken. When it was time to eat, she steamed the broccoli in the microwave for 4 minutes. It was an excellent meal. Leftovers will follow Laura to Chico on Monday.
