chicken tonight?

Looking for something new for dinner this week?

Chicken?

Two meals for you to try which we found to be DELISH.

Chicken Noodles:
Recipe from here.


I made a few substitutions/adjustments:
  • doubled the recipe to feed a family of four. (yes my 18 month old and 3 yr old ate this. Just cut up the noodles.)
  • dry egg noodles instead of fresh.
  • added leftover bean curd.
  • used rice wine vinegar instead of Shaoxing wine. (not sure if it made any difference.)
  • I didn't clean the pan like stated. Rebel.

Chicken Piccata:
Recipe from here.


My substitutions / adjustments:
  • sea salt instead of kosher.
  • omitted the white wine as had none (honestly come on!) but replaced with 1 cup extra of chicken stock.
  • replaced the 3/4 cup of cream with full cream milk.
  • only used 1 lemon instead of two which makes for a more subtle lemon flavour which I prefer.
  • added flour to the sauce to help it thicken.
  • steamed some broccoli cause we gotta have veggies!
ENJOY!

Oh my kids LOVE chicken noodles. Not that we go often, but on the rare occasion we are in a food court, my son will choose noodles over McDonald's. Now THAT is saying something!

You're quite the domestic goddess, and it makes you happy knowing the kids are even liking it!
