Food From The Heart

Eating food has to be one of the most versatile things... it could be at work taking bites in between getting your job done... you could be in a park copping a squat basking in the sun... In the car rolling out of the drive thru or my personal favorite, being surrounded by all of your treasured family and friends making memories...

As long as I can remember any time there's ever been a big memory to think back on, most of the time there's been some sort of meal associated with it.

So what's this blog all about you ask? Food... your stories, your memories and I'm here to help you with the recipes. Share with me some of your favorite times, the story behind it and hopefully I can help you bring some of it all back to life!!! So let's get started!

THE MEMORY: Jolene & her Grandad in the kitchen and his famous Chicken Piccata

RECIPE:

Grandad's Chicken Piccata

• 4 Boneless Skinless Breasts of Chicken Pounded 1/2 inch thick
• All purpose flour seasoned with salt & pepper for dredging
• 1/4 c. lemon juice
• 1/4 c. white wine
• 6 tsp butter
• 1/4 c. chicken broth
• 1/3 c. capers
• handful of chopped parsley

Season chicken with salt & pepper. Dredge chicken in flour and shake off excess.

In a large skillet over med/high heat, melt butter & olive oil. When the butter and oil start to sizzle, add the chicken and cook on each side for 3-5 minutes. When the chicken is a golden brown on each side, remove from skillet and place on a paper towel to drain.

Into the same skillet add all remaining ingredients... make sure to scrape up all the bits from the bottom of the pan for all that extra flavor!

Return the drained chicken to the pan and continue cooking in the sauce for an additional 3-5 minutes.

To serve, remove chicken from the pan and place on a platter and pour sauce over chicken and garnish with the chopped parsley!

Goes great with some angel hair pasta on the side!
