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
