There is not much in my life that makes me feel like a grownup. I have avoided growing up assiduously.

But you know what makes me feel grownup? 

Making a good meal that is a good for us.

Tasty is always good.

But a lot of non-grownup food is tasty.

And easy is always appreciated.

But again, what is easier than a PB&J?

So what is a grownup meal?

I made this before, and I don’t know if I posted about it – but if I did, tough, here it is again:

BAKED ITALIAN CHICKEN PAN DINNER

1# boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into strips
10 oz package frozen broccoli
4 medium potatoes, diced  (I cut small potatoes into reasonably sized wedges)
¼ C melted butter
.7 oz envelope Italian dressing mix

Preheat 350 º; spray cookie sheet with PAM

Spread chicken, broccoli, and potatoes onto cookie sheet.  Drizzle melted butter over the ingredients and then sprinkle with Italian dressing mix. Bake 45-60 minutes.

And that’s it.

And it’s delicious.

It’s easy.

And it’s good for you!

(Oh, and unlike many grown-uppish meals, the clean up is minimal.)

What’s not to love?

So pleased with grownup me! Back to being childish petulant me tomorrow!
