Directions

Step 1:  Spray a pan with a little olive oil spray, on m/h heat start cooking your chicken breast tenders.  They cook fast so make sure to watch and turn them as needed.   You can defrost your risotto on your counter top so you don’t have to add water to it or anything, and then microwave it so it is hot for about 2 or 3 minutes.

Step 2:   While your chicken is cooking, now is a good time to put together your salad.  Place a whole bag of washed baby arugula in a bowl.  Put four peach halves right from the jar on the salad, place some burrata cheese balls on the salad and then drizzle with  fat free balsamic dressing.  So easy your salad is done!!

Step 3:   Your chicken should almost be done by now, so now is a good time to add some fig spread to the top of the chicken pieces and cover the pan for a minute or so.

Step 4:  Pour the risotto bag onto a pretty serving platter, and place the chicken strips over the top laying them across the whole thing. ( check out my instagram  for a beautiful photo.)

Step 5:  Enjoy!
