Tasty Tuesday

Cooking for one tonight.
Chicken and veggies is what I'm having.
So simple any level of cook can do this.
In a small pan add a dash of your favorite cooking oil, turn stove on to medium.
Salt and pepper a boneless skinless chicken breast, place in warm pan.
Wash and chop veggies on hand, here I used 3 mushrooms, 1/2 a zucchini, 1/2 an eggplant.
Flip chicken breast and add veggies to pan, salt and pepper to taste, cover.
(I failed to watch the clock)
In a few minutes check chicken and veggies, if you need to slice into chicken to check its doneness, continue for a few more minutes if needed.
That's it, dinner for one.
