It happens to us all. Recipe rut, same ole-itis, nothing-sounds-good food boredom. I'm going through it with chicken. I just scored these big, beautiful chicken breasts from Aldi (a sweet $1.69/lb, no less) but I have no interest in cooking them. I trimmed them up and got them in the freezer to await my next great idea. But, no ideas have come forth. The thought of chicken right now holds absolutely 0% of my attention. Yawn.
So, you guys need to help me. If you have a recipe that you think can shake me out of poultry doldrums, bring it on!
One of my favorites is an old Weight Watchers recipe: Tarragon Lemon Chicken. Brown the chicken, add a little lemon juice, sliced onion, tarragon (fresh or dried), a little S&P, capers if you like, and simmer til done. Thicken sauce is you like and serve over rice or thin sliced potato rounds. Sometimes I even cook the potato rounds in the sauce..Yummy and low calorie. In a pinch for time, I cook it in the microwave, about 6-8 minutes for 4 breasts, but you don't get that beautiful brown on the chicken. Either way, its good. Aunt Kathy
