So today I ran out of ingredients. Not only could I not make the crock-pot lasagna I wanted to make today, but I was left staring at an almost empty refrigerator wondering how the hell I was going to pull this one together. Just when I was on the verge of "throwing up the white towel" as a friend of mine would say, and calling Mom to bring home Costco pizza, a thought hit me. I went out to the outside refrigerator and found the jackpot: a bunch of frozen chicken thighs.
Starting at 4:30, I threw together some onions, garlic and olive oil to brown and chucked the chicken in the microwave to defrost. I then brazed the chicken in a pot with some broth and white wine. Meanwhile, I added red peppers, green beans and tomatoes, fresh basil and parsley. Once the chicken was brazed, I added the chicken and wine-broth to the simmering veggies. I threw in some fresh pasta and when it was done, I ladled my chicken, veggies and sauce over my noodles. I added some salt, pepper and Parmesan cheese and voila! "Chicken whatchamacallit!"And boy was it tasty!
More kitchen miracles coming soon.
