Serve a green salad with a combination of greens, some chopped green onions, and a spinkle of croutons. Make a simple rice dish with chicken broth in place of the water and a dash of curry powder and turmeric for color. For a starter, serve steamed artichokes with a garlic aioli. Or, baked Brie with nice crackers and fresh cut up veg - like carrots, celery, jicama, &c. Enjoy!

Wrap cooked chicken with a bit of sauce and some cheese, and maybe a small spoonfull of black beans, in a flour tortilla, cover with enchilada sauce & bake. Add more cheese on top a few minutes before serving. Spanish rice is a good side, but I recommend a corn-blend that I found in WalMart's frozen section--the brand is PictSweet, and its corn with peppers & onions, and black beans. It was really good!
