Skillet Chicken with Cilantro and Lime

This dish blew my socks off. We had some boneless chicken thighs hanging around in the freezer, and needed a summer Mediterranean type recipe to spice it up. This is so full of flavour, a bit spicy and that wonderful cilantro!  Paired it up with a bit of sliced cucumber and (should have been yogurt but we only had sour cream on hand) to temper the heat a bit. Served on rice.

Mediterranean Orzo with tomatoes

This dish was delicious, but to be honest I don't remember much else. I had added this recipe as a draft post 4 months ago and only decided to resurrect it now. That is store bought calamari on the plate, just ignore that.

Chicken Mushroom Piccata

This is one of those times that I returned home to a wonderful smelling house. SO was cooking up a storm, and it smelled great. We have two ways of cooking these days. Either SO comes up with an idea and I execute it, riffing on the idea as see fit; or SO will start the cooking and I will complete the final steps, finishing up whatever needs to be done, including garnishes and serving.

Chicken Mushroom Piccata with Egg Noodles

This was the latter. It turns out to be a simple but tasty dish with chicken, lemon, and capers, with a mushroom sauce served over egg noodles.  Very yummy and good for leftovers. I harp on a bit about left overs, but they make great lunches for work. I don't like spending $10 or more every day on a fast food lunch. Anyway, this dinner was a hit, would definitely do this again. We always have lemons and capers in the house, usually mushrooms, and chicken we get in these large boxes from the butcher, 2 gigantic breasts per bag individually wrapped and frozen. Then some sort of pasta or rice, and voila.

Next Time: more sauce, more mushrooms
