Monday Yummies

So tonight was yum!

Yesterday the Boy made a great sausage stroganoff (I really had to bite my tongue when he kept disappearing off in the middle of it all though!).

I made Creamy Caper Chicken a la Jess:

Ingredients

• Chicken thighs (about 5 small ones)
• Lemon, herb & garlic seasoning - used to season the chicken
• Cayenne Pepper - used to season the chicken
• 1 tsp minced garlic (naughty me I didn't use real garlic)
• 1.5tbsp seeded mustard
• 1 cup cream
• 1/2 cup white wine
• chicken stock cube
• 1/4 cup boiling water
• Butter (your choice) 
• 2 tbsp well drained capers
• Cherry tomatoes (optional - I probably wouldn't add these last time & would go for sundried tomato)

Method

1. Cut chicken thighs into pieces and cover a plate with the seasoning + cayenne pepper. Mix the seasoning and chicken together (at this point I added more seasoning + CP, you could probably just mix in a freezer bag!).
2. Melt butter in a large pan on high heat. When all melted add the chicken, brown it and turn down to mid-heat then cook until pretty much cooked through.
3. Remove chicken to a plate and cover.
4. Add wine to pan along with the minced garlic and mustard. Bring to boil and cover leave on mid-heat for about 5 minutes then add stock cube and boiling water.
5. Add cream, bring to boil and then turn down to low (cover) and let simmer.
6. Add chicken to sauce and heat chicken
7. Voila ready to serve!

We ate this with rice but you could easily eat it with pasta - rice was just good for soaking up the yummy yummy sauce! Also to get some veggies I probably would have added green beans.
