In the U.S. Midwest potatoes are often fixed with chicken, usually mashed potatoes with gravy. The Lemon Bar-B-Que Chicken Breasts will not have the needed fat to make gravy, try something different such as: An Irish recipe for mashed potatoes and kale. A pasta side dish would be good too. How about a green vegetable, potatoes, and pasta? Use the recipe: green beans, red potatoes and bow-tie pasta as the side dish. Then you have potatoes and pasta!

Because this was a large plant and will grow taller, it was placed in separate pot.

Rosemary can be grown in your own garden in the sunlight and warm temperature. The sprigs are of flat needles which are used cooking. Often used in meats such as pork, salmon, lamb and chicken. Soups and sauces are enhanced by its pungent flavor and fragrance; it is an evergreen and available all year. When cooking with rosemary, pull off the leaves from the stem to wash an dry. According to httpss://whfoods.org rosemary stimulates the immune system and improving digestion. It may reduce the severity of asthma attacks. http://whfoods.org/genpage.php?tname=foodspice&dbid=75

Chicken Schnitzel

Chicken Schnitzel

Chicken Schnitzel:  A fresh change from comfort foods.

Chicken Schnitzel

Chicken Schnitzel

We have been having  soups, creamy casseroles, breads and desserts to comfort us in the cold of winter.  I decided we needed something crispy and fried.  Fried food is a rarity at our house, we bake, broil, steam, lightly saute or braise.   I remembered Chicken Schnitzel.

Chicken Schnitzel

Chicken Schnitzel

 It tasted so good, crispy, tender pieces of breasts of chicken with a crispy coating.  It was a nice change.

We look for comfort in foods, in the cold weather we look for comfortable clothes by wearing layers of  tee shirts, sweatshirts, big sweaters, and warm pants.    

 

Related imageThen comes spring and the unveiling!  Will that be a shock to you?  Have you found all your comfort foods around your middle? Are your scales a forbidden place to step?  Does it sound like a  lead into for a low calorie meal?  It wasn’t that at all. Really just changed the flavor of comfort foods to foods cooked in olive oil.  

 

 

Frying Chicken Schnitzel

Frying Chicken Schnitzel

I cut the chicken breasts into thin layers, 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick.  I did not flatten the pieces, as in true schnitzel. I mixed an egg with 1 tablespoon water and prepared a pan of flour, cayenne pepper and   a seasoning blend and black pepper.  I dipped the chicken cutlets in the flour, then into the egg mixture and again into the seasoned flour.  When the oil was hot in the skillet, I added the chicken cutlets to brown under a reduced heat, until crispy on both sides, about 4-6 minutes each sides to 170 F.  This recipe was inspired by Winemonger.com.

Roasted Mixed Vegetables

Roasted Mixed Vegetables

The side dish was roasted mixed vegetables, coated with olive oil, dried Italian Seasonings and black pepper.  The vegetables are those on hand, this time we had potato, zucchini, onion, garlic, carrots, celery, cabbage and cauliflower.  These were roasted at 525 F to tender and somewhat browned, 20-25 minutes.  They were a nice balance with the Chicken Schnitzel.

We still had some sweet, warm, creamy, comfort food:  Creamy Rice Pudding.  This is a favorite recipe adapted from Chef Ron Lock’s Creamy Rice Pudding. I used long grain white rice, 1 cup vanilla soy milk, 1/2 cup Carnation Milk and 1/2 cup water.

Slow Cooker Chicken Noodle Soup

Delectable Chicken Noodle Soup

Delectable Chicken Noodle Soup

Chicken, broth, noodles and vegetables creates a delectable Chicken Noodle Soup

This summer I prepared for the  family reunion a crock pot of simmered chicken breast with minimum seasoning.  This was to meet dietary needs of those who could not tolerate garlic, barbecue sauce, diabetic, or need for fat free foods.  I bought six large skinless, boneless chicken breasts, trimmed off any fat, and cooked them in the crock pot with one 14.5 ounce  can Swanson 99% Fat Free Chicken Broth and water to partially cover the chicken.   I cooked it in the crock pot to take and serve at the reunion.   What was left over, I drained and froze to use later in casseroles and  Chicken Noodle Soup.

Home-made Precooked Chicken Breasts and Broth.

Those precooked chicken breasts did not last long.  It was just too easy to go to the freezer and thaw one or two breasts for a quick evening meal.  The next time I prepared the chicken breasts, I seasoned them with a spice blend  Into the slow cooker I  added 1/2 cup sliced onions, 1/4 cup finely diced celery, arranged the seasoned chicken breasts on top of the vegetables and added the one 14.5 ounces can of chicken broth and water to almost cover.

The chicken was cooked on high for about 3 hours until  meat tested 165 F.  The tender flavorful chicken breasts were frozen and the broth was put into three pint jars to store in the refrigerator.  This makes such a rich and low fat broth to use in  sauces, for risottos,  rice, vegetables or soups

Chicken vegetable soup is good, but isn’t chicken noodle soup suppose to be the answer to what ails you?  So this is was the inspiration for Slow-Cook  Chicken Noodle Soup recipe.

Although I do a lot of cooking, there have been some recipes I just don’t attempt.  Noodles has been one of them.  I guess the first endeavor they turned out tough and like shoe leather or leather shoe strings.  So some years later, I thought I would try them again.  This time it was success.  Using my mother’s recipe from her cookbook recipe box, I made noodles.

Egg Noodles

1 egg
1 tablespoon vegetable oil or olive oil
1 tablespoon milk or teaspoon more if needed.
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup sifted flour

Beat the egg in a medium size bowl. Mix in the oil and milk.  Add the dry ingredients and blend with a fork. Work the dough into a ball. Lightly flour bread board and roll out thin. Cut into 2 inch strips, layer and cut into narrow strips. Allow to dry.

Note: My preference is a wider noodle, 1/2 inch. Drying time is about 1-2 hours before using them. What is not used, I bag and freeze. This makes a small batch of noodles.

Lemon Bar-B-Que Chicken Breasts

 

 

Lemon Bar-B-Que Chicken Breasts

Lemon Bar-B-Que Chicken Breasts

There is so much attention to what is healthy and best for us to eat. With vegan and vegetarian recipes available in magazines, on the internet, in old and new cookbooks, one gets to feel guilty to even consider poultry.  Of course, poultry is still recommended as a good choice.  Lemon-Bar-B-Que Chicken is my attempt to slim down a chicken entrée.

Of course the primary ingredient is 2 skinless boneless chicken breasts, cut into 3-4 strips.

2 Skinless, boneless chicken breasts cut into 3-4 strips.

Ingredients for the Lemon Bar-B-Que Marinade

Ingredients for the Lemon Bar-B-Que Marinade.

Marinades are to tenderize and flavor the meat.  Use containers of glass, stainless steel or plastic bags to marinate, as most marinades contain some acid such as lemon juice, wine, vinegar or fruit juice.  Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, some recipes will give longer marinating time depending on the cut and size of the meat.  Turn or stir the meat in the process of marinating.  Some recipes do not use the marinade over the meat while cooking.
