What’s for Dinner Wednesday

Hey. Hey.  Hey! Here’s Last night’s “What’s for Dinner Wednesday” from my Instagram Stories and Facebook Live. In case you missed it, it’s a Skillet Chicken with Crumbled Italian Sausage, Sun Dried Tomatoes, Spinach and Mushrooms with a touch of cream.

I literally cleared out the fridge and pulled this one together. Another dinner where shopping my own pantry was a huge success.  Keeping things like sun dried tomatoes, shallots and box stock is always a good idea.  I also keep on hand a jar of fresh herbs pureed with garlic, oil and salt in a mason jar inside the fridge.  A great flavor booster when you are short on time.  I used it to season my chicken as well as my veggies and sausage.

A FEW TIPS:

• Cook the sausage and other accoutrements first, so when you sear the chicken it picks up all those flavors from the pan.
• Use thicker chicken breasts and then slice them in half.
• I keep a parsley, garlic and oil mixture in my refrigerator.  I wash a bunch of fresh Italian Parsley, dry it and then chop it up in the blender with olive oil, garlic and a pinch of salt. Put it in a mason jar and use it in sauces, marinades, etc..
• For even cooking I use my Cast Iron Skillet, which is also oven safe.
