Heat Wave Cuisine

 What do you do when the temps goes past 100 degrees Farenheit and you can basically cook anything on your driveway? Go for heatwave cuisine. This is simple cooking at it's best. You can still have some kind of protein and a side but's its easily and simply made.

The temps here in northern New jersey is around 100 degrees. I did want to make something filling but easy for dinner. Luckily I found daring Lemon and herb flavored chicken bits in my local Acme.The company has many other flavors like Cajun, teriyaki and breaded.

                                            It's a quick cook in the skillet.I added a few teaspoons of Lidl's olive oil and then fried them until they were crisp.

it usually takes about ten minutes to get both sides well cooked and deliciously crispy.

what to serve with it? My summer go to  - broccoli salad made with Acme;s Signature brand broccoli.Again any salad is an easy make during a heat wave. Mix olive oil, any kind of vinegar, and garlic powder, toss with the veggies and serve.

This was a really delicious, fast and easy dinner.It checked all the boxes. I loved the chicken and plan on buying it again. I have a feeling that  we;ll have more hellish days here in North Jersey and I'll need simple dishes to create for dinner.

Don't sweat it when the temps get high. Go for a simple easy to cook main and a salad. Be creative. It could be a plant based meat  or a simple turkey burger. Throw in a veggie salad and you're good to go.
