In the dog house for Valentine's Day?? Try this simple delicious recipe.

Saturated Herb Chicken Breast, Cheesy Stuffed Shells, and Garlic Parmesan Broccoli

What you need:
1 pack of cxn breast
1 jar of marinara sauce (can be made from scratch, too but I pulled the lazy card)
2 fresh broccoli heads
1 bag of frozen stuffed shells (I cheated and didn't make them from scratch) they can be purchased at your nearest Trader Joe's for a whopping $1.99 a bag
A mix of Mozzarella and Parmesan cheese (I love cheese, minus the lactose)
A mixture of any herbs in your pantry (I used thyme, rosemary, oregano, dill, and basil)
About 1-1/2 cups of olive oil,(or use Italian dressing as a substitute) to cook your chicken
2 Tablespoons of butter
2 Tablespoons of sour cream

For the shells:
Follow the quick and easy directions on back, add yummy marinara and top with both cheeses right before you serve it

For the chicken:
In a large bowl, put cxn, dry herbs of choice, and all of your favorite seasonings... Or use all of my favorites like onion/garlic powder,old bay, sea salt, crushed black pepper, and whatever else you love. Pour a little Italian dressing on top along with a lil olive oil. Let it sit uncovered for 30 minutes, if you have that much time, if not place everything in a non stick pan and cook for 20-30 minutes, turning occasionally til lightly golden brown on both sides.

For the broccoli:
Bring salt water to a boil, allow broccoli to cook (7-9 min) til slightly firm and green color is not dull. Strain water and place back into pot, adding the sour cream and butter. Sprinkle with a lil sea salt and toss with a little garlic powder. I sprinkled a lil cheese on my broccoli bc cheese is awesome!

You don't have to plate it fancy, but since you're already in trouble, I say give it a go! Good luck with dinner, and I hope it'll help he/she forget that you didn't send flowers or chocolates... Enjoy!
