Chicken Philly Sandwich

Yesterday, I dug through my refrigerator looking for something to eat. It was mostly empty (I just moved into a new apartment. The only thing more empty than the refrigerator is the living room; more on that in a later post).

Plan: grab some veggies, grab some kind of meat, and cook it together.

Just so happens that green peppers, red peppers, and onion make phillys. So I through in some chicken sausage (part of my betrothed's dietary switch from unhealthy foods) and diced and tossed it all in a skillet (after washing it, of course). The difference between this being fajitas (which this almost became) and a sandwich is bread instead of tortillas (as far as I know).

The green and red peppers cost me about $0.75 each at a local farmer's stand and the onion was probably similarly priced at the grocery store. I also want to note that I'm going to get four uses out of the peppers and the onion could be easily stretched into many more.

Next time: After returning from the grocery store (or local farmer's stand), I could probably slice and dice the veggies and free them. Similar to a fajita pre-made meal from the grocery store, I should be able to freeze in portions then just unwrap and drop.

This won't be the same as "fresh" veggies, but I think them not molding or rotting (like my strawberries tend to do) is a good enough version of "fresh".
