What's for Dinner Wednesdays

Wednesday is my night to make dinner for the family. Usually I try out some new recipes that I got offline or something. Anyway, I thought just for fun I'd share these recipes and my experiences with them.
Tonight I made chicken, rice, and broccoli. If you know me at all, you know that I LOVE chicken, and rice, and broccoli for that matter.
For the rice, I decided to try adding some flavor with Lipton onion soup mix. You just make the rice the way you normally do, except when you add the rice to the boiling water you put in a packet of Lipton onion soup mix first, one packet for every cup of rice. It turned out really well except it took a little longer to cook with the onion soup mix in it. Don't know why, but it did.
For the chicken I used a recipe I found online, with some slight variations of my own. The internet recipe was pretty much your basic breaded, baked chicken recipe. Here's my version.
Ingredients ~ Makes 4 servings
~4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
~1/4 oil
~1 T. minced onions
~1 T. minced garlic
~1 egg, beaten
~1/2 cup Parmesan cheese
~1/4 cup bread crumbs
~1 t. dried parsley
~1 t. dried basil
~1/4 t. paprika
~1/4 t. salt
~1/2 t. pepper
Boil chicken. Combine remaining ingredients except for the egg. Heat oil, onions, and garlic in 10 in. skillet. Slice chicken into strips. Dip chicken in beaten egg, coat in Parmesan cheese mixture. Brown chicken in oil. And that's it. I thought it was pretty good :)

So that's what was for dinner in our house, how about yours?
