I seems like forever since I cooked. Super Bowl Sunday, Jim had to fast for a colonoscopy. I had leftovers for lunch and a cheese sandwich for dinner. Monday I made this chicken dish from the skinnykitchen.com site. I tried to turn it into a Instant Pot recipe, but that did not work so well. In the back of the recipe book that give you cooking times for almost everything. Chicken breast boneless is 6-8 minutes. The recipe warns you that the sauce could start to burn. If it does add a little water. Sure enough the Instant Pot flashed burn and I had to release the pressure, add water and just finished it on sauté. So stick to the directions. It is going to be 1 pot no matter what.
Ingredients:
3/4 C Panko bread crumbs
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 t salt
1/4 t pepper
4 chicken breasts, boneless, skinless
1/4 C fresh lemon juice
1/4 C honey
1-2 t Tabasco Sauce
1 T EVOO
Cooking spray
Directions:
- In a shallow dish, add bread crumbs, garlic, salt, pepper and blend together. Dredge both sides of chicken in crumb mixture.
- In a small bowl, combine lemon juice, honey and Tabasco. Set aside.
- Coat a large non-stick pan with cooking spray. Add the EVOO and heat over medium heat.
- Add chicken, cover and sauce until browned on both sides and cooked through, about 5-6 minutes on each side. Remove the chicken to a plate.
- Add lemon-honey glazed to pan. Cook for about 30 seconds until syrupy. Return cooked chicken to pan, flipping chicken once to coat with the glaze.
- Remove from pan and serve.
I served this with instant mashed potatoes and stir fried snow peas in brown sesame oil.
For Christmas I received a package called Chocolate Orange Mug Cake.
I figured this would be a good time to serve it to Jim. Warning about some of these easy mixes. This was a rip off. In the package was essentially a 1/4 -1/3 C cocoa. To this you add 6 T OJ, 6 T flour, 6 T sugar, 1/4 C vegetable oil, and 1 egg. You mixed it up and put it in two mugs. Microwaved each mug for 90 seconds. Jim said it was very good. I am going to try to follow these directions again using my own cocoa and see how it turns out. I bet the same. the package says coffee spice, cinnamon, salt, nutmeg, cardamom, all spice, ginger, mace, orange peel, I have all that in my spice rack and I bet just a pinch each.
