30 minute meal REALLY

This meal is really delicious! I make it several times a week for my family, changing the meat and veggie so it doesn't feel like the same meal. It really can be done in 30 minutes, from start of prep to putting it on the table. Yeah! Rachel Ray would be proud! So, here it is, hope you enjoy it as much as we do!!

Easy Herb Rice

2 cups brown rice ( can also use 1 cup white/1 cup brown)

¼ cup butter

1 TBLS Demarle in the Kitchen Fresh Lemon & Dill Herb Blend

4 cups water

Melt butter over medium heat in Demarle Stainless 3 qt. sauce pan. Add rice and brown in the butter, stirring so it won’t brown to much on any one side, till you hear the rice start to “pop”. At that point add the herb blend, stir to make sure it is well mixed, then add water. Cover and cook for 18 minutes, check to be sure all liquid has been absorbed, if not, continue to cook and check ever 1-2 minutes. Serve with Kelly’s 20 minute Chicken, and Lemon Dill Green Beans.

Kelly’s 20 minutes Chicken

Serves 4

2 chicken breast

1 tsp Demarle in the Kitchen Roasted Garlic and Chives Herb Blend

1 tsp Demarle in the Kitchen Bolivian Rose Sea Salt

2 tsp melted butter

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F, place Deep Flexipat on Perforated Baking Sheet and set aside.

Using the Santoku Chef Knive filet the chicken breast in half, you will have what looks like 4 chicken breast, now fairly thin. Place chicken breast on the Deep Flexipat. Sprinkle herb blend and sea salt over one side of each breast, then gently rub it into the chicken, wash your hands. Then use the pastry brush to brush the melted butter over the breast side with the herb/sea salt mixture.

Bake for 15-20 minutes. Serve immediately. You can also use Tilapia filets, salmon pieces, etc. adjust cooking times as needed. Enjoy!

Lemon Dill Green Beans

4 cups fresh (or whole frozen) green beans, rinsed & cleaned

2 TBLS water (don’t need water if using frozen)

Extra Virgin olive oil to taste

Demarle in the Kitchen Fresh Dill & Lemon Herb Blend, to taste

Demarle in the Kitchen Sel Gris French Grey Sea Salt, to taste

Prepare green beans by slcicing ends at an angle using either the Santoku Chef knife or the Kitchen scissors. Place beans in Large Round Mold with approximately two tablespoons of water and cover with Octagonal Silpat. Microwave unitl beans are tender (start with 2 minutes). In my microwave it takes about 4 minutes, be careful not to OVERCOOK. Sprinkle with olive oil, herb blend, and sea salt. Serve right away!
