Corrupted

I watch WAY TOO MUCH of the Food Channel. If there’s nothing else on, I’ll probably end up watching the Food Channel … unless the Iron Chef is on, I don’t like that show. I love watching 30 Minute Meals (even though Rachel Ray annoys the hell out of me … LOL).

I made my own 30 minute meal type meal (it might have taken just a bit longer). I had a couple of boneless chicken breasts, some broccoli, and bow tie pasta. I wanted to do something with that. I ended up frying up the chicken breast in some olive oil (or EVOO as Rachel would say … sick ) and butter (actual butter, not margarine. I had butter left over from Xmas baking). I cooked up the pasta and blanched the broccoli. I cooked some onion and garlic in the chicken drippings and added a bit more butter. Then I added some chicken stock and let that reduce. I could have added more so there would have been more sauce, but oh well … next time. After the sauce was how I wanted it, I added the pasta to it, the cut up chicken, and the broccoli and stirred that up.

It tasted better than I thought it would. I wasn’t sure what to expect since it was the first time I had tried this method. But I liked it. The only thing I’ll do differently next time is to add more chicken stock so there’ll be more sauce. Maybe some more onion and garlic too. I also added some grated Parmesan cheese (and not the cheapie stuff you get to sprinkle on pizza … this was the real thing).

I’ll definitely try this again some time. Now I need some ice cream for desert. Cookies and cream … drool2
