Search for easy recipes and LEMON PEPPER CHICKEN recipe

Every Summer I struggle to stay within the food budget. "It's too hot to cook!" or we get too busy to cook. We end up eating out where we don't have to heat up the kitchen. This year that is not an option. We just can't go over budget.

I am on a search this year to find recipes that are super easy and don't heat up the kitchen. I have been loving Tupperware, because they have products that are made just for this kind of thinking. And there are some great Tupperware recipes for quick and easy and without a box

I know that I have friends who feel that the microwave is evil, but I think you can adapt the recipes easily to an oven or your cooking choice. With food allergies and Celiac a concern with our family, I look for the best solution for the situation. I don't think anyone will argue with me about the microwave being a better choice then eating out, where you have no control of contamination or quality.

This is my latest recipe find that my family really enjoyed last night. I don't know what I would call it, because I think you can change the flavor by the seasoning you use. I just so happen to have all of the ingredients for it and so I will call it what it is.

LEMON PEPPER CHICKEN

Boneless, skinless Chicken breast (I cut mine up in chunks)
Miracle Whip (I used plain old mayonnaise and just plopped 3 unmeasured spoonfuls in)
Lemon Pepper Seasoning (Next time I plan on using taco seasoning)

1. Coat the chicken breast with mayo and sprinkle with seasoning.
2. Place the chicken in a microwave Tupperware container. Place lid on container. (I used my "Heat N'Serve") Microwave for 8 to 9 minutes on high setting.
3. Let stand, covered, for 2 more minutes to finish cooking. (If chicken is not fully cooked, place back in microwave and finish cooking it.

Note: Mine was creamy enough to add mixed veggies and serve over noodles. I thought about serving it over potatoes, rice or even gluten free toast.
