For Easter I made Chicken Cordon Bleu and I didn't take any pictures so I will have to come back to that one and make it another time with pictures. We also had a Honey Baked Ham and our families all brought sides and desserts.
For Monday night's dinner we did a spin on the breakfast for dinner idea. We had Strawberry and Chocolate Crepes. I went off of this recipe. I didn't include powdered sugar and added Hershey's chocolate syrup. Our strawberries were left over from Easter and our Nana makes them special with "secret sauce" which from what I can gather is sugar and vanilla.
I heated up some of the left over ham from Easter and everyone enjoyed it.
Tonight we had soccer and track practice and by the time I got home to think about making dinner it was 6:45. So I unthawed some organic chicken breasts I had stowed away in the freezer and made asparagus risotto with chicken. I don't know exactly how to describe the chicken but Jack ate all of it and asked for more so it had to be good. Really good.
For the chicken I thawed the chicken and cut it in half and seasoned with salt, pepper, basil and garlic salt with parsley. I browned them in olive oil in pan, cooking on both sides for 4-5 minutes. Then I poured in half a cup of left over white wine from Easter and one cup of chicken broth. I then covered it and let I simmer on medium heat for 10 minutes.
For the Asparagus Risotta I used this recipe but for the first half cup of chicken broth I substituted half a cup of white wine.
As a side note, the blog that I found the crepe recipe on I totally fell in love with and decided to favorite. Everyone should check out her blog, it is super cute and well put together. http://www.thekurtzcorner.com/
