Chicken Breasts in Tomatoes & Cream

This is a fabulous recipe from the Hollyhocks & Radishes cookbook which I received last month at a wedding shower. I made it for the 2nd time last night and it's really quite tasty & not too putzy to make! So if you have a lot of tomatoes in your garden, this is a good recipe to put them to use.

Chicken Breasts in Tomatoes & Cream

6 boned chicken breast halves I use the chicken breast strips
3 Tbsp Butter
1 Onion thinly sliced
1 Clove garlic, minced
1 Tbsp flour
3 Med. tomatoes, peeled & sliced
1/3 C. Sour Cream
3 Tbsp. grated parmesan cheese
salt to taste

In a large skillet, over medium-high heat, sauté chicken in butter until lightly browned. Remove. Reduce heat to medium & cook onion & garlic until soft. With a flat whisk, stir in flour & brown for one minute. Add tomatoes & return chicken to pan. Cover & simmer gently over low heat for 20-25 minutes.

Stir in sour cream, parmesan cheese & salt to taste. Heat to serve, but do not allow to boil

Serves: 4-6
Prepare: 15 mins
Cook: 20-25 mins

The first time I just served the chicken & sauce w/broccoli on the side. Last night we made some rice and served the chicken & sauce over the rice and it was divine. Not great if you're counting carbs, but if you're not - it's excellent! Another serving suggestion would be skip the rice & serve with garlic bread.

I should've done this a year ago....

A pandemic game time & conversation (via Zoom)   Well, we're about 13 months into this pandemic and I should've been back blogging then. I mean, I was home an awful lot. I could've done it. But I didn't. I wrote in my actual journal but that's a crazy mish-mash of stuff. This would've been fun to keep just pandemic stuff. Ah well, live and learn. I'll be ready for the next one (no, no, I won't). It's been a year...a year of ups and downs; of being laid off and re-hired; of wondering what to do with my life and starting grad school. We got fish, we got two kittens. What a year.  Kids have mostly been troopers but there have been some tough days. August went back to hybrid last fall, then everything stopped for a while and went back to 5 days a week in February - hooray! Dahlia finally got to start hybrid in.....February? (I can't remember) and then started back in person 4 days a week...but after her first 4 days she was identified as a "

Penguin Shenanigans

Image
For our 2020 Winter Reading program, there wasn't an overall theme. I decided to create my own theme. And the Penguins took over the library! I printed out real-to-life sized photographs of penguins...an Emperor, a Fairy, a Chinstrap and a Galapagos Penguin to be exact. I put them on the walls in one area. My hope was that kids would stand next to them and measure up - and they sure did! It put a smile on my face every time. Above each penguin I included some facts. Usually where they lived, what they ate and any quirky stuff about them. It's always great to be able to provide a little learning opportunity along the way. We also included penguin voting. I always think it's fun to add a pre-math activity when I can. I made 4 buckets with a photo of each of the aforementioned penguins. Kids (& adults) were able to ask for a "voting token" (ie: a saved bottle cap) at the desk and then put it in the bucket of their choice. It was fun hearing t

and IT'S A GIRL!! I'll do a proper introduction later and the whole story and everything but in the meantime, we had a baby girl. 2:15pm on Friday afternoon (I posted at, what? 10;30am? You do the math!!). Her name is Dahlia Marie and she weighed in at a whopping 6lbs even. 19 1/4" long and so incredibly gorgeous (although, I might be a wee bit biased). The birth was the most amazing experience I've ever been through and my mind is still, well, blown, quite frankly. I am so tired though...time for a quick nap before we try to feed again.
