Very nice meal at the end of a productive day. I washed and ironed 3 bags full of quality baby clothes I inherited from Aska yesterday. My daughter is not yet born, but she already owns 2 pairs of jeans! \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n
I took 2 chicken breasts and flattened them, seasoned, washed in egg and then covered in breadcrumbs mixed with grated parmesan. Then I made a simple tomato sauce, sweated a shallot and\u00a0 crushed garlic, threw in\u00a0 a can of tomatoes and a handful of cherry tomatoes onto it, some sugar and dried oregano ( fresh oregano is looking very promising in the garden this early into spring). I also added a little herby jelly, new from Knorr, which lifted the sauce up nicely. It all went onto the bottom of the baking dish, then I quickly grilled my chicken, placed it on top, topped with grated parmesan and a bit of cheddar( maybe mozzarella next time) and finished in the oven until the cheese melted and the sauce was bubbling.<\/p>\n
The chicken is lovely and moist, sauce tomatoey and herby, good pat on the back.<\/p>\n
I served it with French bean salad and red rice, which my mum calls “Egyptian”, not sure why. Made in a similar way like risotto, minus the wine, the shallots and parmesan. Just quickly sweat the rice on olive oil, mix in a tbsp of tomato paste and then keep on adding chicken stock, until the rice is cooked. The taste might be enhanced by a touch of ketchup and vegeta. I like it reheated the next day for lunch, I made sure I’ll have some for tomorrow. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
