While I didn't give Claire the chicken because it was spicy, and she couldn't have the yogurt cream sauce, she did very much like the quinoa, so I'll call it a win. I gotta take what I can get :-)
With the pitter-patter of little Claire feet climbing up my leg, I'm always looking for meals that I can cook in 30 minutes or less. Though I don't completely agree with the "10 minute prep time" this recipe boasts (it took me at least 5 minutes to find the right pan and all the spices), it still went very quickly and took very little effort. I didn't bother getting the food processor out, I just mixed the cream sauce with a fork. You could make little baggies of the blackened spice mix to make prep time even faster.

I have no idea who Jo Mama is, but she makes a mean spaghetti! I just realized that I forgot to put the wine in when I made it this time... oh well. Still tasted great! Remember back in November, when I posted about the in-home cooking class Kevin bought me for Christmas last year? Well, I finally got up the nerve to try to make this scrumptious Chicken Picatta by myself... and you know what? It's not even hard! My excuse was that I didn't have a meat pounder to pound my chicken flat, but in reality, I was just intimidated for some reason.
When Kevin's brother Dennis gave me a gift card to Sur La Table this Christmas, I figured I have no more excuses, so I ordered my meat pounder and got to work. (Side note: they also sell thin cut chicken breasts at the grocery store, so you can totally just skip the pounding thing.) This dish is a little fussy because you can really only cook one chicken breast at a time in the skillet, so I had two skillets going. This isn't a dish to make for a crowd, at least the way I make it. But you could pull it off with 4 people if you had a way to keep the first two warm while you cooked the last two. They don't take very long to cook at all. I served it over a tri-colored angel hair pasta that I picked up at Homegoods... pretty and yummy, this is a great dish to make for company! |
