I made this off the cuff, there are no rules!

calories: about 270 per 8oz. serving

ingredients:

• Chicken cutlets - cubed. use enough for as many meals you want to make
  
• Broccoli florets (fresh or frozen is fine)
  
• salt, pepper, oregano, cilantro to taste
  
• 2-3 fresh limes
  
• lots of garlic
  
• Olive oil - just a little squiggle on the pan
  

Saute cubed chicken and seasonings in olive oil until golden brown on the edges.  Set aside for a minute.
Throw the broccoli in the pan and let that get going then throw the chicken in.
*If using frozen broccoli, saute just until it's thawed because you don't want it over cooked.
cut limes in half and squeeze them into the pan. Throw the rinds in there.
Season again and let simmer 5 minutes or less (depending on how you like your broccoli) and you're done!

You can add any kind of meat to this as well and it works.
Don't want sauce? Saute in garlic and olive oil and eat it straight up like that with a pinch of red pepper flakes (or not) and grated cheese (or not)!

This time it's with chicken, very much the same as the sausage and brussels sprouts.

Chicken with Caramelized Eggplant

ingredients:

calories: TBD

• 2 chicken cutlets
  
• 1-2 whole (large) eggplant cut into cubes and seasoned with salt.
  
• 1/4 cup olive oil
  
• salt & pepper to taste
  
• dried Italian herbs - I like those McCormick herb grinders for this.
  
• red pepper flakes (optional)
  

Have your eggplant and seasoning and herbs cut and ready for use.

Heat your pan to very hot and then add the oil.

Saute the eggplant on a hot flame until it breaks down and starts to caramelize. Toss in the herbs and pepper and continue to saute until the eggplant starts to soften.

Make a circle (empty space) in the middle of the pan.
Put your seasoned chicken cutlets in that space and turn up the heat.

Cover and let saute on a medium-high heat until the chicken start to caramelize.

Add red pepper flakes for the last 3 minutes of cooking for extra spice.

Serve hot with some Parmesan cheese (optional) and a toss salad.

the small cutlet is mine.
