Last night I made this lemon chicken. I think I read about it in one of the numerous food magazines I subscribe to (note to self: as subscriptions end don't renew all of them) or shows I'm constantly watching on the Food Network. It was really tasty and very easy to make.
I seared two boneless skinless chicken breasts that I had marinated in a 2 to 1 ratio of bottled lemon juice and soy sauce for about 3 hours. I then added the juice of 3 whole lemons and about 1/2 cup of white wine (Debra's leftover wine while she visited....thank you!). I "braised" these chicken breasts for about 20 minutes until done adding more wine as it evaporated and threw in some capers and lemon zest and let it simmer for a few minutes and served it with steamed broccoli. It was as good or even better than going out and ordering off a menu at a nice restaurant. The whole process was not much more that 30-45 minutes........a great weeknight meal.
I had a handful of these little treasures I discovered at Trader Joe's for my after dinner treat. Bite size chocolate chip cookies made entirely from whole wheat flour. I saw these while I was there and thought they couldn't be that good but since it fared on the healthier side for cookies.......what the hell. I'll give it a try. They are amazing. The flavor just pops with a burst of vanilla and at 130 calories and 3 grams of fiber for 8 pieces it makes for a low calorie dessert. I love Trader Joes!!
