Chicken, cheese and bacon, sauteed cabbage, black beans and rice

These are not 'measured' recipes. But they are easy to throw together, though the beans take lead time.

Chicken, Cheese and Bacon 
This was so easy and tasty!

Slice chicken breasts into long strips.
Top with a slice of cheese (I used cheddar) and wrap with a piece of bacon.

Bake on parchment covered baking sheet about 10 minutes (or until chicken is done) at 450.
Broil a few minutes to crisp.

Sauteed Cabbage
Shred cabbage thinly and combine with grated carrot. (I use about 1/2 cup carrot shreds with 1/2 cabbage head, shredded.)

Heat bacon grease, butter, or avocado oil in fry pan or wok over medium high heat.

Add cabbage. Stir to combine. Continue to cook, stirring, adding grease, if needed, and salt and pepper to taste, until cabbage wilts and cooks down. Serve hot.

Black Beans and Rice
Soak beans in water overnight. Drain.

Combine 1 cup beans with 1 can chicken broth in saucepan with half an onion chopped and a large clove of garlic minced.

 Bring to a boil. Simmer about 2 hours, until beans are tender.

Season generously with salt and pepper to taste.

Serve over cooked brown rice (I do mine in a rice cooker with 1.75 cups of water per cup of rice.)

Serve with: fruit and/or homemade bread
