Pounding the chicken creates a much wider surface for the saute step, reducing cooking time significantly. I would recommend adding a bit more chicken broth and juice. If you want a bit more salty-tang, add some capers. This is basically a twist on chicken piccata.

Comments I would recommend making this in the future with chicken off the bone.  Though I like eating with my hands,

the delicious sauce dropped on top of chicken over basmati rice would be better without having to

fight the bones and non-meat parts of a chicken.  Just be sure not to overcook the chicken if you are using

chicken off the bone.  Though the sauce is great, it won’t be able to hide dry chicken!

]]> After a day of yard- and house-work, I didn’t want to make anything too strenuous.  With a set of meals planned for the next week, this quick meal would be perfect for a weeknight family meal.  As garlic can be quite strong in raw form, I would recommend using less for your more sensitive eaters or going off the path and roast the garlic first.  The sauce won’t provide as much of a punch…but will allow everyone to enjoy the meal.  I plan on using the leftover chicken (mixed with sauce) on top of a bed of greens with tahini for lunch today.  I think a bit of olive oil and freshly squeezed lemon juice will finish off the salad nicely!

Comments Make sure you buy good pita bread.  The sauce and amount of food going into the bread needs something strong enough to hold it!  Toast the bread a bit first, too.  That’ll further enhance the great flavors.

]]> On Sundays, I like to spend a bit more time cooking.  This provides me with great satisfaction and comfort going into our busy work week.  This morning I made two soups for during the week.  This afternoon, I started on the chicken dish.  Having finished another Julia Child biography recently, this particular recipe was the right one to make.  Please take the time to make this one…and stuff the bird with the stuffing.  I know there are many people out there that warn you not to.  However, if you maintain a clean kitchen, prepare the bird in a clean manner, and make sure that the stuffing is heated through properly, you’ll be just fine.  The stuffing mix is actually put into the bird in a warm state.  (The recipe doesn’t tell you to cool the mixture.)  Enjoy!

Earlier in the week, we had tandoori-style chicken at home.  This is the result of my vindaloo paste search and was definitely a tasty meal.  I substituted boneless, skinless chicken thighs.  They still held up to the high-heat cooking and were very easy to eat and reheat.  As with my chicken curry saute, we enjoyed the tandoori chicken over basmati rice.

Check out Tandoor Restaurant sometime soon!
