As my gums are healing, I am graduating to solid-er foods. I had some chicken, lot of veggies in the crisper (aka the rotter) and some wine. So I put it all together and made a this dish. I paired it up with some couscous and a simple beet and feta salad.
Winey Chicken
Chicken tenders, cut up in 1 inch pieces
Mushrooms, chopped
Zucchini, chopped
Scallions, chopped
Green and Red peppers, diced
1 cup of red wine
Chicken stock
salt, pepper, red pepper flakes, basil, garlic powder
a handful of dried cranberries (for an unexpected touch)
Couscous - prepared as per package (I made mine in chicken stock)
Beet Salad (recipe follows)
Start by browning chicken in some olive oil. Once cooked all the way through, pull out on to a plate, and add your mushrooms, zucchini and peppers to the pan. Saute for a few mins. Add the spices. Add a cup of wine and let it deglaze the pan. Add the chicken back to the pan, along with the scallions. Let everything simmer in the wine, add some chicken stock, if necessary. Finish off with the dried cranberries. Serve with a side of couscous and beet salad.
Beet Salad
1 can of sliced beets
feta cheese
Dice both. Combine. Add some pepper, basil and olive oil. Eat.
Enjoy!
