Mushroom Chicken

Mushroom Chicken

So I was sick on a weekend and still managed to get into the kitchen to do something. So nothing special today. Simple chicken with a mushroom sauce over rice.

Ingredients
-Chicken Tenderloins
-Rice
-Mushrooms
-Onions
-Cream
-Wine

Creation

This was quick and easy. Two pans. One pan throw in some onions and sliced mushrooms. Get that going and then salt and pepper some chicken.

Of course onions first then mushrooms

Now time to get some chicken on the stove. Oddly enough this one of my favorite ways to cook chicken. Brined chicken with a little salt and pepper.

No idea what happened to the middle one

And that is pretty much it. Finish the sauce by deglazing with white wine and finish with some cream. Like I said before did this while under the weather.

And I used to hate mushrooms...

Even while sick I can still pull out...

Thin Pork Chops

Thin Pork Chops with Wine Potatoes and a Jalapeno Cheese Sauce

Today was an interesting day, woke up and realized I have way to many groceries and then went to the doctor and what does he say? Lay of the dairy, the alcohol, and begin a bland diet. My response? Go home lightly sear some thin-sliced pork chops (To thin to do a full sear), and make some "home-fry" style potatoes with white wine. I swear I'm to stubborn to have a doctor.... ha.

Ingredients

-Thin-sliced Pork Chops
-Baby Red Potatoes
-Dry White Wine
-Jalapeno
-Parmesan Cheese
-Dijon Mustard
-Heavy Cream
-Chives
-Thyme
-Butter
-Olive Oil

Creation

Potatoes. These take a long time. So first things first get some hot oil in a pan and toss those taters in it with the spices to get them cooking. Once they begin to brown and stick to bottom, deglaze with some white wine and cover. For a while.

Cook you taters!

Now its time to get those chops in a screaming hot pan with some salt and pepper. Sear on each side for about a minute and done. Remove. Really. That it probably to much too. 

Now that is not enough time to render fat. So, add some oil and get a minced jalapeno (without the white flesh!) in there. Let it cook. Then add heavy cream, cheese and mustard. Why mustard? Cause it sounded good.

By now the potatoes should be done. So time to plate...
