Tonight: Malibu Chicken

I'm feeling extremely lazy and wish we could just order a pizza or Chinese take-out. But money is tight, so I must cook. It's become such a chore lately! Soon enough, I'll be able to enjoy a glass of wine while I cook. That always makes the task more fun.

Anyway, tonight's dinner is: Malibu chicken. Yes, similar to that chicken dish served at Sizzler. But way better IMO.

Too lazy to post pics, sorry. But here's the method. It's not really a recipe.

I'm making this for 2, obviously you'd up the amounts for more people.

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1/4 cup flour

1 T Italian seasoning (or any of your favorite herbs and spices)

salt and pepper

2 slices deli ham

2 slices swiss cheese

canola oil

Preheat oven to 350. 

In a large zip lock bag, combine flour, Italian seasoning, and a generous amount of salt and pepper. Add chicken to the bag and shake to coat the meat well. Heat about 1/2" of oil in a large skillet and cook chicken until nicely browned. (Depending on thickness of chicken, it may or may not be cooked through at this point.) Remove to a paper towel and drain excess oil. Transfer to a foil-lined baking dish and top chicken with ham and swiss cheese. Put in oven and continue cooking for 10-20 minutes -- until chicken is cooked and cheese is melted.

I'm serving this with an easy, boxed broccoli cheese rice and some corn. If I remember correctly, this was served with a honey-mustard dipping sauce at Sizzler.
