I'm doing some kind of chicken for supper, too, bone-in breasts, probably with mushrooms and some sweet pepper.
Update: Onions, peppers, celery, tomato sauce, mushrooms, chicken stock, a little white wine, some flour to thicken it. Spices were thyme, parsley, rubbed sage and some caraway. Delicious.
August 29, 2017 at 7:29 pm #8789My wife brought me another 50-60 pounds of tomatoes from the UNL test gardens, mostly the same ones she got a few weeks ago, the variety named Defiant. She also brought a bag of sweet peppers.
SO I'm going to make a batch of tomato relish tonight with 10 pounds of tomatoes and most of the peppers, then I'll run the rest through the tomato mill and make tomato sauce.
August 29, 2017 at 9:10 pm #8791I never would have thought of adding caraway to chicken. I need to up my spice game when cooking.
August 29, 2017 at 9:54 pm #8792Caraway, dill and celery seed are 3 herbs I've started using much more frequently with meat and poultry dishes. I use a lot of oregano, thyme, marjoram and basil, but those are ones everybody uses. Any beef dish that cooks in its own juices for a while, like a stew, usually gets some bay leaf.
My older son uses a lot of rosemary, I use it more sparingly. He likes to use juniper berries too, I'm pretty selective about when I use them.
Oh, I forgot one thing I put in the chicken, some powdered mustard.
August 31, 2017 at 10:02 am #8808While I'm on this website, I'll mention that I'm making olive oil & garlic sauce for spaghetti for dinner tonight. I bought a loaf of ciabatta bread to go with it. Romaine salad will be the green part of the meal.
August 31, 2017 at 8:08 pm #8814On Wednesday, I made a chicken-vegetable soup, using turkey broth from the freezer and carrots, celery, yellow zucchini, canned tomatoes, green beans, red bell pepper, onion, a bit of garlic, baby Bella mushrooms, and whole grain elbow macaroni. We added some chopped chicken to each bowl of soup. I followed my minestrone recipe, but my husband draws the line at basil.
September 3, 2017 at 12:37 pm #8855I have left over pork tenderloin for sandwiches and will make lima bean soup out of left over beans for tonight...cleaning out the fridge.
