MrsDrPoe: Lemon Pepper Tilapia

It's What's for Dinner Wednesday again, and I'm hungry! Tonight I'll be sharing another one of Mr. Poe's favorite dishes, Lemon Pepper Tilapia.

Ingredients (per person): 1 Tilapia fillet, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 2 teaspoons lemon pepper seasoning.

Place fillet on a piece of aluminum foil, and sprinkle the lemon pepper seasoning over it. Bring the left and right sides of the foil together over the fish and fold or roll up. Then seal the far end of the foil pocket by rolling or folding up that end:

Carefully pour the lemon juice in through the open end of the foil, and fully seal the pouch by rolling or folding up this end. Place on a cookie sheet (in case the juice leaks), and bake the fish at 400 degrees for approximately 15 minutes or until the fillet transforms from transparent to white and flaky:



Mr. Poe and I love to also put sliced bell pepper and cherry tomatoes in our Tilapia pouches, and we serve it over rice (the juice makes a great "gravy"). Enjoy!

MrsDrPoe: Lemon Pepper Chicken Pasta

It's that time again, folks: What's for Dinner Wednesday! Today we'll look at a very lite pasta dish for two that we absolutely love: Lemon Pepper Chicken Pasta.

Ingredients: 3 tablespoons olive oil (lemon infused is fantastic), 1 tomato (diced), 6-8 oz boneless, skinless chicken breast (chopped), 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 tablespoon lemon pepper seasoning, pasta (cooked), 1 teaspoon salt (not pictured), 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning (not pictured).

Add 1 tablespoon of the olive oil to a medium skillet on medium-high. Add the chicken, garlic powder, lemon pepper seasoning, Italian seasoning, and salt. Cook until the chicken is done (approximately 15 minutes), stirring occasionally. Turn the heat down to low-medium, and add the tomato and the remaining olive oil; allow the mixture to cook for 2-5 more minutes until the tomato softens a bit:

Add cooked, drained noodles to the skillet, and toss in the mixture, coating the noodles in the oil and mixing in the chicken and tomatoes. Then enjoy!
