So, my husband was challenging me to get rid of some cookbooks today as we were doing a deep cleaning of the kitchen, and I had a very hard time, managing only to get rid of a few. I kept telling him I use all of the cookbooks, but I realized that lately that has not been true. I have been making cakes and cupcakes for people, but I haven't been trying anything in those cookbooks in the recent past.
So, he challenged me to try something from the cookbooks each week. Something new and different. So, whether it is a recipe in my books, one I find online, or one I create myself, I am going to give it my best shot.
Tonight's creation was the first of hopefully many. We had three small chicken breasts in the frig along with leftover rotini pasta with no sauce on it. I soaked the chicken breasts in a mixture of milk and heavy whipping cream all day. Tonight I drained that and coated them in an Italian bread crumb mixture I had. Then I pan fried them in a tiny amount of oil for about 12-15 minutes. While doing that, I created a lemon-butter sauce in another pan, and then I added the cold pasta to the lemon-butter sauce and tossed it lightly until it was covered and also heated. Then I sliced the chicken breasts into narrow slices and put them on top of the noodles on each plate, and then I sprinkled the entire plate with parmesan.
Delicious!!! I will try to stick with this! We will see!
