Quick chicken: Lemon-herb, pecan, popcorn

One of those big packs of 6 chicken breasts adds up to nearly a full work-week of eating this way.

Difficulty: Low. Flavor: High. Yield: 8 entrees, all with sides. (Because difficulty was so low, I actually made the sides!)

Trim chicken. Cut about 4/5 into fairly regular medallion-size pieces (for even frying and to increase coating area). Trim the last 1/5 into smaller chunks and toss in bag with Italian breadcrumbs.

Take half the medallions and coat with garlic salad dressing and pecans for Pecan Chicken. Bake in 9x13 pan at 400 for 25 min.

While that's baking, fry the Italian breadcrumb pieces in olive oil (this is Popcorn Chicken).

Rinse out pan and make Lemon Chicken with Carrots.

While lemon chicken is simmering, make the rice, cook some corn and make some small salads.
