I should have said here that I vow to write in my blog at least twice a week. Resolutions get broken--easily.
Anyway, here's an attempt to restart. I was working on some entried to a group cookbook recently and thought it may be nice to start posting some recipes in this space, given that food is one of my passions.
I like cookbooks, but tend to draw on them for inspiration. Seldom do I follow recipes exactly. Even though most weekday meals at home needed to go from prep to table in less than 30 minutes, I still like to jazz things up. In Chinese, we say that dishes need to have color, fragrance, and flavor. I take this to heart, even for everyday meals.
So here's what's for yesterday:
Chicken with Spinach and Mozzarella
Ingredients:
6 chicken breast halves
2 TB olive oil
1 TB lemon juice
3 TB water
12 oz. fresh spinach
4 oz. finely shredded mozarella
Directions:
Brown chicken breast halves in olive oil. Make sure each side is browned slightly. Add lemon juice and water. Cover and cook for 4-5 minutes until chicken is thoroughly cooked and juice runs clear when you pierce each piece. Add spinach and cook down quickly. This will generate more liquids. Finally add shredded mozarella. Melt gently over low heat. Stir to make a thick and creamy sauce.
Serve over rice or pasta.
