There is nothing complicated about making this healthy and tasty dish.  These feeds two, takes about 20 minutes and costs about $12.

Sauteed Chicken Breast
Start a large frying pan on medium high heat and add 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil.  Season breasts with salt and pepper then coat with flour.  Dust of the excess and place in the frying pan for about 5 minutes on each side.

Rainbow Chard with Bacon Lardons
1 piece extra thick cut bacon from the butcher
1 bunch rainbow swiss chard, chopped
1/4 white onion, chopped
2 cloves of garlic, chopped

Start a large frying pan on medium low heat.  Slice bacon into even chunks about the same width and length, these are called lardons. let cook about 3 minutes on each side or until the fat renders out and bacon is cooked through.  Add onions and garlic to the pan and let cook for 3-4 minutes.  Then add the chopped chard and let cook another 7-10 minutes.  Serve immediately.  Buon Apetito!!

Swiss Omelet with EXTRA Crispy Bacon and Toast

Perfect omelets are easier then many people think. This is a fool proof way to make a perfect omelet every time.

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Sauté red and green bell peppers, green onion and white onions. Start a separate, large non-stick pan on medium heat, once it is hot add equal parts butter and olive oil to coat pan. Add the scrambled eggs and let them set for 2 minutes. Then add the cooked veggies and top that with your favorite cheese and herbs (I chose swiss and cilantro). Place the whole pan in the oven and cook for about 7 minutes or until the top is firm. Remove from oven and let cool.



Extra Crispy bacon is literally the best thing since sliced bread. To get perfect bacon you need to get bakin. Use a large sheet pan lined with aluminum foil. Lay bacon on the tray close but not overlapping. Cook for about 30 minutes at 325 degrees, half way through blot the bacon to suck up the excess fat. Let sit for 10 minutes and blot again. Best Bacon Ever!

For the best timing you would start the bacon, then sauté the veggies. At fifteen minutes left for the bacon you start the omelet and finish it all about the same time

I also toasted a sandwich thin, buttered it and cut it into fours. I made it into a circle for fun...I guess. More likely it was for you guys. Enjoy!
