Lyric's Chicken 2 Ways

I love my friend Lyric and am so sad that she moved across the country so I can’t benefit from her culinary genius as often!
Buy a rotisserie chicken and pick it clean. Split it in half. One night, make it into a BBQ chicken pizza (I make my dough and actually cook it in just a few minutes on my stone out on the grill, then put toppings on and finish it in the oven). The second night, put the remainder of the chicken into this Ina recipe Orzo with Roasted Vegetables.
It's HEAVENLY, makes an abundance and is loved by all, even the little guys learning to eat.

Chicken Nuggets & Silly Stuff

My daughter got to choose our complete meal tonight, shop for it, and help cook all of it. This is what she chose!
We cut up chicken breasts, coated them with Italian bread crumbs and parmesan cheese, then fried them up in a little olive oil.
Her veggie of choice was peas, so we made orzo pasta with peas, zucchini, a little lemon zest and juice from our lemon tree, parmesan cheese and a dash of olive oil. She named this side dish, “Silly Stuff.” For dessert we had strawberries!
