Blue Cheese Chicken

While this food item isn't maybe quite as healthy as the other stuff I cook, its still not that unhealthy for you... And, it tastes good :)

Time to Prepare: ~30 minutes
Time in Oven: ~45 minutes

Ingredients:
4 potatoes
1 leek or a bunch of green onions
1 small bag of baby carrots
half of a head of cauliflower
REAL blue cheese (get it from the international/cheese section of your grocery store, not from the dairy section)
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
olive oil
1 tbsp chives and onion flavored cream cheese (optional)
1/3 cup skim milk (optional)
Spices (I used oregano, tarragon, garlic powder,and chives on the chicken)

Cookware:
knife
cutting board
oven bag
dish to prepare food in

Directions:
1. set your oven to 375 F
2. open up the oven bag and lay it on the bottom of your baking dish
3. cut all your vegetables into small pieces and spread them along the bottom of the bag/dish
4. cut off all the non-meat off your chicken breats, and cut deep cuts into the meat
5. stuff the cuts with blue cheese, and spice the chicken
6. (optional) mix the cream cheese and skim milk together and pour evenly over the vegetables
7. spice vegetables (ex: garlic powder)
8. place the chicken over the vegetables
9. pour olive oil over both the chicken and vegetables
10. add a tiny bit of water to the bottom of the dish, this is to keep the vegetables and chicken from drying out
11. close the bag and cut a few slits into it to keep pressures even
12. place the dish into the oven for about 45 minutes.

I served this meal with rice and a salad, both of which you can make while your chicken is in the oven :)
