Mustard-Herb Panko Crusted Chicken Breasts Mustard-Herb Panko Crusted Chicken Breasts I remembered loving a Mustard-Herb Crusted Pork Tenderloin I made awhile ago so I decided to adapt it a bit to work with chicken breasts that I had in the refrigerator. It was messy but simple to prepare and the house smelled really fantastic while it cooked. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Pour the panko crumbs, parsley, cheese, and thyme onto a plate, mix until well combined. Place into the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes or until a meat thermometer reads 170 degrees.

Eat Skinny Be Skinny: Easy Peasy Skillet Lasagna Before we begin, I have to share the cutest flipping photograph of my little pooch. I mean, his face, I just…want to kiss it all the time. I sometimes think there is no better start to the morning than a cute puppy face. So CUTE! Okay, let’s move onto food. The only thing better than a gooey lasagna is a gooey lasagna that takes half the time to make. Sure, it’s not as pretty as stacked lagasna made with vibrant vegetables, but guys, trust me when I say this, it’s JUST as savory, creamy, decadent and delicious. If not more. In addition to being oh-so-yummy, this skillet lasagna is lighter than most, completely vegetarian AND has only 7 Weight Watchers Points Plus points! Plus, wine has 4 points, so you know that’s being calculated in there too. So when I find meals like this that are SO mouth-watering you are thinking “and here’s another 6 pounds” with each bite for LESS THAN 8 points per hearty cup? Maybe someday I’ll let you all be privy to my dance moves. Ingredients: Directions: Claire

Recipe for pasta bow ties with broccoli, white beans, pine nuts and feta When I was a little girl, I'd smother in ketchup anything I had to eat but didn't naturally love. As an adult, I prefer to do my smothering with good Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese. I wish I could say that I naturally love broccoli, but I don't, though over the years I've discovered ways I can get more broccoli into my diet; Chinese stir-fries and pasta recipes with lots of cheese top the list. This dish of pasta bow ties with broccoli, white beans, pine nuts and feta incorporates two cheeses along with a healthy portion of broccoli and white beans. Pasta bow ties with broccoli, white beans, pine nuts and feta From the pantry, you'll need: dried pasta, onion, garlic, oregano, cannellini beans, black olives, lemon, feta cheese, Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, pine nuts, olive oil, fresh black pepper.

Garlic Noodles with Miso Butter Monday, April 23, 2012 Garlic Noodles with Miso Butter This is a variation of one of the most popular recipes from my cookbook (Todd & Diane posted the recipe for Garlic Butter Noodles) and SteamyKitchen.com (Garlic Scallion Noodles). I’ve one-upped the recipe by adding in a spoonful of miso paste and throwing in fresh mushrooms, which is like upgrading from (okay, I just deleted a lame analogy of something related to stereos….too doiky, too predicable….deerrrrrr….) Anyways, the miso paste, even just just a spoonful of it, melted into butter gives the entire dish richness (without adding meat!) I’ve created this recipe for my client, Miso & Easy, who makes ready-to-use miso paste. You can use any type of noodles that you want, Asian noodles or even spaghetti noodles (which is what I used). Get your wok out (or a large saute pan with high sides) and add saute the garlic and green onions in butter, but for the love of Buddha, don’t burn the garlic – keep the heat in control! And toss more!

Spring Recipe: Spaghetti Pan-Fried with Ramps & Mint It's barely a recipe; it does lean on your own sense of timing and feeling of when the pasta is hot and cooked through, and when the ramps are soft and wilted. It's a fast dish too — it just takes a few moments to sauté. Spaghetti Pan-Fried with Ramps & Mint serves 4 as a side dish or 2 as a main 1/2 pound dried spaghettiOlive oil8 ounces fresh ramps1 small bunch mint, about 1 ounce1/4 cup dry white wine1/4 cup grated Parmesan, plus more to serveKosher salt and freshly ground black pepper Cook the pasta until barely al dente. Clean the ramps and separate them into green tops and white bottoms. Heat a large (10-inch or larger across) sauté pan over high heat. Add the white wine; it will immediately bubble up and nearly evaporate. Serve immediately with extra Parmesan, if desired.

Steak au Poivre - The Showstopper I have a comment on this comment, then I have a comment for the OP. To Amy: Removing to foil is simply a way to keep the steaks warm whilst resting (FOR 5 MINUTES AT LEAST… ALWAYYYS!). When the OP says remove to foil, he/she doesn’t mean to wrap them tightly. They mean to place them in a plate, and form a loose ‘covering’ of foil. To the OP and to anyone else who decides to try ‘flambe’: It is important to note: When you add cognac or any other high proof liquour to a hot pan, then ignite, you are not burning the alcohol itself, per se. - Never light alcohol while there is an open flame/heat source. - Notice how in the OP, they remove the pan from the stove and then light. - Keep a heavy lidded pan nearby, just in case things Do go awry (if you follow the first 2 tips, they won’t) - Always have at least an ABC rated fire extinguisher within arm’s reach I would like to add on a personal note, I LOVE steak au poivre.
