Lazy recipe

In keeping with the food theme for today, here’s my attempt to help our most prominent demographic (laz fy, single, overachiever, slender). My minimalist lifestyle forces me to do things which allow me to expend the least energy possible. Eating is one such task--one if was not absolutely necessary for me to continue living and blogging which is something I would certainly pass. Now even I get sick of frozen food, so from time to time I do throw on my “World’s best cook” apron to challenge my culinary faculties. Just to be clear, cooking for me involves use of a knife (or similar cutting implement) OR turning on the cooking range OR use of more than one utensil. To meet my minimalist standards, cooking should also take less than 10 minutes of preparation and less than 10 minutes of cooking time. The following recipe meets all the above criteria and I thank my sister for introducing me to it.

Ingredients:

1 or two chicken breasts (Yes, I said breasts… stop giggling)
One egg
Salt
Pepper
1 slice of bread
Mixed vegetables (I prefer Target’s store brand, but you can get creative with this)
Dash of oil

Preparation:
Clean the chicken since even though you may have resistance to E-coli why take a chance. Hopefully when you selected the breasts you selected the thick ones because the next step involves cutting the breasts vertically into two halves. Beat an egg and some salt and pepper. Crush the bread to crumbs. Dip the chicken in the egg batter, and then cover it with bread crumbs.
Put in a dash of oil if you don't own a non-stick pan. Then throw it onto a heated skillet, 5 minutes on one side then 5 minutes on the other. Throw the veggies on the side of the skillet. Check that the meat is cooked (again if you have resistance to E-coli this could be optional). In 10 minutes you will be ready for a healthy and nutritious meal.

What if you are a vegetarian?

Vegetarians are too picky to be lazy

Vegetarians should skip to the last step.
