Lettuce piles and toasted multi grain bread with cheddar

Tonight, I ran to the supermarket and grabbed some quick ingredients that I thought would be good for lettuce wraps. Fully intent upon making wraps, I ended up with lettuce piles, but they proved to be just as scrumptious and surely just as healthy :) I skillet-boiled (what is the term for this?) two boneless, skinless chicken breasts and cut them into pieces. While skillet-boiling the chicken, I chopped and boiled two red potatoes. When the chicken was done, I added a couple of handfuls of snap peas, Italian dressing, and the boiled potatoes. I then simmered all of these ingredients together for approximately ten minutes, and the mixture came out well.

While preparing the ingredients for the would-be pile, I washed and dried some leaves of romaine lettuce and laid them on our plates. I also sliced up a multi grain baguette (5-6 slices), topped it with olive oil and cheddar, and threw them in the oven at 400 degrees for ten minutes or so (I really should get better at keeping track of how long I do these things... but I really just don't think about the time while I'm cooking unless I'm baking something - otherwise my intuition usually takes me in the right direction).

When all was done, I arranged the pile of Italian chicken, potatoes and snap peas on the beds of lettuce, added a few slices of cheesy multi grain toast, and set it all out on the table. Not too fancy, I'm afraid. But so good! And easy. I had plenty of leftovers - the other 3 chicken breasts (which I skillet-boiled and put away) I can use for nachos or for stuffing pita bread; same goes for the lettuce, and pretty much the same goes for the snap peas (except the nachos). Great!

Josh and I enjoyed this meal as one of our last together for about a month. He'll be leaving to go to the south soon and I'll be leaving for Costa Rica while he's gone, so we're really getting in a lot of time together, which includes delicious food! :) He enjoyed the food, as did I.

I then talked to my dad on the phone who mentioned Blue Bell ice cream (and Rocky Road flavor, at that. My favorite favorite favorite). I can't wait to go to Texas at the end of the summer, and that's just one reason.
