Chicken Picatta


Today I am writing about a chicken Picatta over a bed of tri color rotini. I started with the chicken I took the breasts and gave them a egg bath with a small amount of Italian seasoning and garlic then I coated them in Panko bread crumbs and baked them off. I usually do the picatta in. Sauté with a wet dry wet ratio in dipping but I wanted to use panko because I find it a lighter texture. As the chicken was cooking I got my water to a rolling boil and placed my noodles in. And in my sauce pan I put in my heavy cream, lemon juice, and some Parmesan cheese. In a small sauté pan I just coated the bottom with some cooking sherry. And tossed my capers than added the contents to my sauce pan until it reached a creamy mixture. It varries slightly from a traditional picatta recipe. But has the core ingredients it was a wonderful creation of taste. Thank you once again for your time in reading stay tuned for my family, food and thanksgiving post! Take care

Asian Infusion


Today I am writing about a asian infused dish. I had some tilapia fillets and I wanted to get a little creative so I made a hoisin pineapple glaze for them and baked them off at 375 with some chunks of pineapple for a little added flavor. While that process was underway I put on my pot of nishiki rice for the tilapias bed. For the sides to bring the meal to a complete state I did a quick sweet and sour stir fry of broccoli, shallots , and mushrooms with a pita seaseme stick for dipping in the extra sauces and flavors. This plate is sure to move your pallate in many great ways.

Steak NOM NOM


Hello again everyone! Today I'd like to talk about steak. I made this dish with a sirloin I cut into strips and grilled over medium high heat with a even mixture of salt and pepper. While that was cooking I utilized some heavy cream and parmasean cheese and a small amount of a white wine to conclude my sauce to top the steak and the bed of zucchini, yellow squash, cherry tomato and garlic sautee. The finished product is not only delicious but a colorful presentation sure to please anyone you make it for. Check back for more pointers and technique very soon. Have a great day.
