Chicken & Rice in 30 Minutes

These days, I'm getting lazier and lazier in the kitchen. I often get home at 8:00 or even 9:00PM. Cooking alone is not on the top of my list of activities. (The single life...) Sure, two blocks away a plethora of $10 meals are available for my choosing, but even then, eating Mexican food gets old real fast.

Bored and alone a few days ago, I made this chicken and rice dish. Below are the directions for creating this simple and delicious meal in about 30 minutes.

Ingredients/appliances:

• Chicken breast
• George Foreman grill
• Rice cooker
• Jasmine rice
• Onion salt
• Garlic salt
• Butter
• Salt
• Pepper
• Parmesan cheese

Directions:

1. Place one cup of rice in rice cooker with 2 cups of water. Hit the "cook" button. The rice will be cooked in about 10 minutes. Then it automatically switches to a "warm" function. Amazing.
2. Take the Parmesan cheese and butter out of refrigerator.
3. Heat your Grill (I use a George Foreman...I know, so classy).
4. Once the grill is preheated (about 5 minutes) place chicken on grill. If the chicken is frozen it will take about 8 minutes longer to grill.
5. Put as much rice as you want to eat in a bowl. Add butter, pepper and Parmesan cheese. Depending on what you like to taste, add garlic and onion salt. You can obviously use fresh garlic (SF food snobs...), but again, this is a 30 minute meal with limited clean-up.
6. Once the chicken is done cooking, cut the breast into little pieces.
7. On a large plate, sculpt the rice into a nice dome shape in the middle of the plate.
8. Place the little pieces of chicken over the dome of rice. Add salt and pepper to taste.
9. Add a flower for color. You can also add fresh parsley to the rice for color.

Enjoy, your meal is done in less than 30 minutes.
