Having people over for dinner, but don’t have time for that overly-complicated meal you found in a cookbook? Then try this recipe and impress your friends and family with its deliciousness.

Ingredients:
2 cups all-purpose flour for coating
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 (4 pound) chicken, cut into pieces

2 cloves garlic, minced
1 green bell pepper, chopped
1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 cup white wine
2 cups fresh mushrooms, quartered
Salt and pepper to taste

Directions:

  1. Combine the flour, salt and pepper in a plastic bag. Shake the chicken pieces in flour until coated. Heat the oil in a large skillet (one that has a cover/lid). Fry the chicken pieces until they are browned on both sides. Remove from skillet.
  2. Add the onion, garlic and bell pepper to the skillet and sauté until the onion is slightly browned. Return the chicken to the skillet and add the tomatoes, oregano and wine.
  3. Cover and simmer for 30 minutes over medium low heat.
  4. Add the mushrooms and salt and pepper to taste. Simmer for 10 more minutes.

Dee’s Tweaks

  1. Used Perdue SimplySmart lightly breaded chicken cutlets
  2. Seasoned flour and coated frozen chicken cutlets-brown on both sides and remove
  3. Substitute wine for chicken broth. Use about a cup for more sauce
  4. Cook the veggies and add soy sauce and sugar. Cook down for about 20 minutes
  5. Thicken the sauce with cornstarch, then add the chicken back to the pan to simmer for a few minutes
  6. Serve with buttered noodles and garnish with basil

Bored with Breakfast?! | JenniferDent.com

low-carb-hotcakes

It’s time to rethink your traditional breakfast meals.

Banish the bagel.
Oust the oatmeal.
Dismiss the donuts.
Eradicate the boiled egg.
Remove the rice cake.

The average American breakfast is packed with sugar, empty carbs and faux, fruity flavoring. This kind of breakfast can send your blood sugar into a fast downward spiral instead of fueling your body.

In this blog post, I am offering a savory, collection of ten breakfast recipes for you to download. In it, you’ll find some healthier alternatives to the traditional American breakfast, but be prepared to cook. Real food doesn’t come out of a box and “cook” in the microwave in 60 seconds!

Inside you’ll find these delicious recipes:

  • Kale + Mushroom Frittata
  • Honey Nut Bars
  • Wheat Free Pancakes
  • Berry Bright Chia Pudding
  • Coconut Flour Biscuits
  • Quinoa Breakfast Bowl
  • Clean Green Smoothie
  • Vegan Blueberry Muffins
  • Superfood Chocolate Breakfast Bowl
  • Homemade Breakfast Sausage

I hope you find this mini recipe collection delightful and useful. It will really help you get excited about breakfast again. Drop me a comment and let me know if you plan to make any of these delicious recipes and more importantly, how they tasted!

Bon appétit!

1382539586447

Ingredients:

Cookies:
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 stick unsalted butter, softened
2 cups sugar
2 eggs
1 (15-ounce) container whole milk ricotta cheese
3 tablespoons lemon juice
1 lemon, zested

Glaze:
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
3 tablespoons lemon juice
1 lemon, zested

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.

Cookies:

  1. In a medium bowl combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

  2. In the large bowl combine the butter and the sugar. Using an electric mixer beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the eggs, 1 at a time, beating until incorporated. Add the ricotta cheese, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Beat to combine. Stir in the dry ingredients.

  3. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Spoon the dough (about 2 tablespoons for each cookie) onto the baking sheets. Bake for 15 minutes, until slightly golden at the edges. Remove from the oven and let the cookies rest on the baking sheet for 20 minutes.

Glaze:

Combine the powdered sugar, lemon juice, and lemon zest in a small bowl and stir until smooth. Spoon about 1/2-teaspoon onto each cookie and use the back of the spoon to gently spread. Let the glaze harden for about 2 hours. Pack the cookies into a decorative container.
