An easy chicken dinner for a busy night! We had just finished signing papers for the purchase of our new house and I had luckily got out some chicken for dinner. I new we would not have much time and would need to make something easy. Zo called on her way home and mention she was going to make chili. I told her not to worry because I had got chicken down. She was surprised because I had not really felt like cooking and had not made anything new in two weeks. I told her I had a few new easy ideas that I wanted to try out! This is one of those new ideas, I hope you enjoy!

Ingredients:
Chicken
2 medium chicken breast (at room temp)
1/2 tsp chipotle pepper flakes
1/4 tsp smoked paprika
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp fresh lemon juice
2 tsp extra virgin olive oil

Bed
1 tsp jalapeno (diced)
1 large garlic clove
1/4 cup yellow onion (diced)
1/2 cup vine tomato (chopped)

Bed
In a small bowl mix together all bed ingredients and set aside.

Chicken
In a medium skillet heat olive oil over medium high heat.

Stir together chipotle flakes, garlic powder, paprika and lemon juice until mixed well.

Poke chicken with a fork to create small punctures evenly over meat. Rub your chipotle flake mixture into the two chicken breasts and immediately place in heated oil. Cover and cook 5 minutes. Flip chicken over, cover and cook for another 5-7 minutes or until cooked through.

On two plates arrange even amounts of bed ingredients. Lay chicken over bed and serve hot! It is also great tasting if you put a little of the bed over the chicken as well.
