.... or Chicken a' la Lundy, the dish.
After a day of reformatting parts of 303 Face | Body, I didn't begin dinner until 8pm. Oh who am I kidding, that is not so uncommon for me.
I also knew that this dish would not take long to create at all, so we were eating within the hour. I literally came up with this recipe while I was at the grocery store this morning. I'm sure a lot of cooks would agree that this is not a hard thing to do. You know what taste good together, and part of the fun with creating recipes is experimenting.. food science, if you will.
I affectionately named this dish while I was cooking it- Chicken a' la Lundy, why not. :) What you'll need:
4 rosemary stems
1 pack chicken breast strips
1 cup dried cranberries
1 1/2 cup sliced mushrooms
1 cup white onion
2 tsp cracked pepper
2 tsp pink himalayan salt
1 cup micro greens
4 tsp canola oil
1 cup thai basil sauce
2 tsp soy sauce
mi·cro·greens
ˈmīkrōˌɡrēnz/
noun
plural noun: micro-greens
the shoots of salad vegetables such as arugula, Swiss chard, mustard, beetroot, etc., picked just after the first leaves have developed.
Sidenote- I'm in love with micro greens.
Before you rinse and slice ingredients, add canola oil to skillet, and let warm on a medium-low setting. After rinsing and assorting ingredients, add salt and pepper to chicken.
Once oil is warm, first add rosemary and chopped onion. Break rosemary apart as you add it to oil, gently sautè.
After onions and rosemary have cooked for 8 to 10 minutes, add mushrooms and soy sauce, gently sautè.
After 8 to 10 minutes of the mushrooms cooking with the onions and rosemary, add chicken strips, dried cranberries, micro greens and thai basil sauce. Sautè for 2 to 5 minutes, then cover and let simmer for fifteen minutes, raising heat to a medium high setting, occasionally stirring.
Chicken a' la Lundy can be served over a bed of rice (which I did) or served alone. Can I just take a moment to tell you how AMAZING it was.. Oh my gosh, so flavorful. Never be afraid to create a new dish!
