what did we eat last night?

why is it so hard to remember what you ate over the course of a week or so? we've eaten and cooked lots of great food lately, but if i don't document it, we forgot. how sad to forget such good memories. maybe that's why we repeat the activity so often, to remember the most important activity, nourishing ourselves. its usually the most pleasurable activity of the day. oh, i do remember one really great meal...again its one i wrote down, just didn't take the time to blog yet. bacony tomato chicken over pilaf...we also made it with shrimp about at week later...great both ways. scott liked the shrimp best, me the chicken.


Bacony Tomato Chicken breasts over pilaf

2 thin chix breasts s&p and lightly floured
1 and half oz of pancetta, cubed
Small onion
2 roma tomatoes peeled seeded, rough chopped
Olive oil
Pilaf
One cup chx broth

frozen peas...a cup or so...optional

Brown pancetta in nonstick skillet and olive oil
Set aside
Sautee onion till carmelized, remove
Add more olive oil to pan, and sauté chix breast till browned, remove
add equal amount of flour to oil that is still in pan (about 2 tbs), and cook out
Slowly add broth while stirring to keep smooth.
Add chix, pancetta, onion and tomatoes to pan, put on low heat and cover till ready to eat

Serve over pilaf (posted on another day...check it out)

to make with shrimp, just substitute shrimp, but don't cook until just before you eat.
you could really make this with any other protein...pork would be really yummy.
