Our meals have been pretty boring and repetitive lately. We seem to be stuck in an uninspired cycle of chicken & rice, pasta with red sauce or pizza. And broccoli.
Last night, I decided to mix it up a bit. Admittedly, it was still pasta and chicken but it was a recipe we hadn’t had for a while.
Back in 2012 or so, when I was the primary dinner-doer in the family, this is the kind of meal I used to make. A lot. Back then I usually had 30-45 minutes to get dinner on the table and if I wanted to up the ante a little, chicken with white wine and lemon was the way to go.
It still is. You can prepare it extra quick if you use chicken tenders or the kind of breasts that are already thin. And if you don’t have a shallot, onion works just fine.
Add a side of simple pasta and a nice salad and you’ve got a meal that works for everyone, even the vegetarian who’s cooking the chicken.
