Tuesday night dinner - Chicken w lemon, marsala, garlic; broccoli, baked potatoes

Let's start with the simple.

Baked potatoes - unwrapped, Olive oil on the outside, poke the skins with a fork to prevent the chance of exploding baked potatoes! They don't really explode but there is a chance that they could bust open and leak out, Then you just scrap it up off the pan or aluminum foil and eat it, oh well, bake at 450 for 70 minutes, th skin will be nice and crispy, and I love butter and baked potatoes. With the sauces I made for the chicken that was on the plate, the butter and the sauces really added to the taste of the potato.

Broccoli - I have a stainless steamer I place in a pot and steam my broccoli. If I decide to use the broccoli in a dish, I will lightly steam and then put it in the pan and finish the cooking process. I slice the broccoli very thin exposing the internal areas of the broccoli. The pot I use has holes in the cover for draining pasta and you can turn the holes, closing them or exposing more. It's a great addition to the kitchen. Again, the sauces from the chicken added to the flavor of the broccoli. I served the broccoli with a squeeze of some lemon, a dash of Italian salad dressing, and a sprinkle of oregano.

Chicken - sliced very thin, sprinkled with seasoned break crumbs, seasoned with Italian seasonings, salt, and red pepper flakes, cooked in olive oil face down so the seasonings fall into the oil seasoning the oil, when done on one side, flip, add some minced garlic to the pan in different spots, season the chicken with Italian salad dressing, squeeze the juice of a 1/2 lemon over the chicken, grate the zest, add some marsala wine, shake the pan moving the chicken around, add some chicken broth, remove the chicken and plate, plate the broccoli and baked potato, cut the potato open in long slices, pour the pan juices/sauce over the broccoli and baked potato and chicken.

 Interesting. I've made lemon chicken before, but never made the sauce using dressing. I will try this next time - it sounds great and makes sense, as the dressing already has a lot of good spices in it!

I had a potato blow up in the over once. I shocked me - I stuck a fork it in to get it out of the oven and boom - a mess all over the oven! Took a while to clean up...

I've squeeze lemon into chicken broth, into white zinfandel wine, into chicken broth and white zinfandel wine. The Italian seasoning has vinegar, olive oil, Italian seasonings, it's a nice addition to many meals but is not a problem solver for bad tasting food. Tried that, been there, done that, and it doesn't work. I use Italian seasoning when I make my quinoa salad, there's a salad which is great.
