Lemon Caper Chicken

I want to thank those who sent amazing emails to me asking if all was o .k. Actually, I had just decided that I needed a bit of a break from Blogging and all the work that goes into it. But now we are back in business. And with quite a few recipes waiting in the queue as well. And I have not forgotten the Great Cake Recipe Contest - I will be putting up the winners in the next few days.

I left promising a recipe which would include the Pepper Sherry recipe. This one is from Nancy.

Lemon Caper Chicken



Ingredients:
  1. Kosher salt (I just sprinkle enough salt to lightly coat the bottom of the skillet. Besides bringing out the good flavor of the meat, the large Kosher salt granules kind of hold the meat up off the bottom of the pan so it doesn't stick. I know....sounds crazy, but it works)
  2. 4 large chicken breast halves
  3. 1/4 Cup Pepper Sherry
  4. 2 Tablespoon(s) Olive Oil (subsituted for butter)
  5. Juice of 1/2 medium Lemon
  6. 1 Tablespoon(s) capers, drained
Directions:
  1. Sprinkle surface of nonstick skillet with salt.
  2. Place breast halves in pan over salt.
  3. Turn heat to high.
  4. Brown chicken on one side; turn and brown on second side. (If you want to crack off some of the salt, now's the time to do it.)
  5. Remove from heat
  6. Stir in pepper sherry to dissolve browned particles in skillet.
  7. Reduce heat, stir in olive oil, lemon juice and capers. Cover.
  8. Cook over low heat, about 20 minutes or until chicken is cooked through.
Chic Chatter


Millions of ways to make chicken, and every time I think I have seen it all, along comes another delicious recipe. This requires the Pepper Sherry of the previous post as well, so we are leaving this at a 3-star for difficulty.

Baking Powder

This is the last of Paula's recipes for "food & cooking staples" so far. She writes: Sometimes you run out of an item midway through baking. It is fun to be able to make the missing content out of items you have sitting in your cupboards. Baking Powder Ingredients: 1 Tablespoon Cornstarch 2 Tablespoons Cream of Tartar 1 Tablespoon Baking Soda Just whisk together until evenly blended Baking Art Print 12 in. x 6 in.

The funds are donated directly to the needy families - regardless of religion, race or creed. The remaining 50% will be donated to a Rape Crises Center for Women in Israel. Paula obviously has a knack in the kitchen. I took this recipe but remember folks it implies you have Cream of Tartar and implies Cornstarch and Baking soda. If I had all this stocked in my kitchen - trust me I would al

Shrek Cookbook - Book Review

(***Due to layout of this review, if viewed in an RSS reader, certain sections may seem duplicated.) Before we begin, the normal disclaimer. This book review was solicited by the publishers of the Shrek Cookbook and contains my opinion of the book. For kosher readers of Help! I Have A Fire In My Kitchen - This is not a "kosher" cookbook though the majority of recipes in the Shrek Cookbook can be used as is, or with just a few sane and healthy substitutions, can be kept kosher. (Indeed as far as I could tell every recipe in this book can be kept kosher.) It is not that difficult to find equivalent and healthy kosher substitutes these days, especially in the United States. Book Details: The Shrek Cookbook , published by Dorling Kindersley ( www.dk.com ) is a publicized as a cookbook for children (ages 4-8). It's 30+ recipes come in Ringbound Hard Cover, so the pages can be turned easily while the book lays on a counter top. The font is large, catering to the child and p

How It All Began...

Image
The idea of a book on cooking for single and busy parents honestly all began with an email a few years ago when someone was complaining to me that all the books they seem to see were junk books written by celebrities making much-ado-about-nothing. They went on to rant about the cook books that were being produced by Gourmet chefs and the like that had dishes which took a whole month's pay to create and needed like 10,000 pots - and they still never came out right. "Why the hell doesn't someone write a normal cook book that normal people can use to learn how to cook?" this person asked knowing that I had taught myself how to cook since I divorced. I had to. I had kids to feed! And oh boy, can kids eat! I shrugged and let it go. Actually the whole subject did not interest me at the time. I was in the middle of getting some fiction WIP's together and working on my non-fiction book at the time " Three Weeks In Jenin ". Writing a cook-book was the furthest t
