Buffola Chicken Strips

Buffalo chicken stripes, mashed potatoes, green beans, and leftover mac n cheese.  The recipe called for thighs, but I just used chicken breasts.  Not fancy, but not a bad meal.

Chicken w/ Bourbon Peach Butter

Chicken with bourbon peach butter, salad with avocados, and leftover melon gazpacho with “frizzled” prosciutto.  I’ve never made any kind of butter before, let alone butter with bourbon in it.  I used Maker’s Mark, but I don’t it matters.  Making peach butter was really easy, but very time consuming.  I didn’t realize it needed to be in the oven for over two hours.  Luckily I started dinner early today.  I wonder if it’s good on toast?  And that soup, it really shines when you have a spoonful of everything.  The prosciutto, the fresh mint, and the soup mixture.  Weird, but very good.  I’m sure you could substitute bacon instead of frizzled prosciutto.

Chicken Tacos w/ Melon Gazpacho Soup

Chicken tacos with tomatoes and grilled corn, and melon gazpacho soup.  The tacos were just okay, but these crazy fruit soups are awesome.  Peach and cantaloupe combined, then garnished with “frizzled” prosciutto.  Not bad eating.

Pesto Pasta w/ Chicken and Zucchini

Pasta with chicken, homemade pesto, zucchini, and tomatoes.  I announced I wasn’t cooking today so Aya whipped this up using garden vegetables and making pesto with the garden basil.  Her pesto is pretty amazing.  It’s a nice summer time treat.

 

Grilled Chicken Thighs w/ Pineapple Relish

Grilled chicken thighs with pineapple relish, grilled zucchini with balsamic vinegar, and a garden salad.  This took longer than twenty minutes, but it didn’t take an hour.  Just lots of chopping.  I don’t have a grill or a grill pan so I cooked the chicken on my Foreman grill.  It worked just nice.  Nice, flavorful, tender, and very summery.
