Pan fried Chicken

A beautiful sunny in Toronto.  A quick dinner tonight as I have a meeting tonight.  I popped into the Healthy Butcher on Queen Street and purchased chicken breasts and hot Italian sausage.  I pan fried the chicken breast and made Alfredo sauce before heading out to my kids school meeting.  In a matter of 20 minutes, we had a delicious meal.

Pan Fried Chicken


-1 chicken breast
-small amount of oil or butter
-herb de provence (i just sprinkle it on chicken)
-salt and pepper
-fresh lemon juice 
-1/2 cup white wine

On medium high heat cook chicken breast in oil or butter.  sprinkle spices on chicken and add lemon juice and wine.  Allow to cook on first side for about 8-10 minutes.  When chicken no longer is sticking to pan turn it over.  You may cover it.  Keep adding wine if you find that the liquid is cooking off.  On a side note, when cooking with wine the alcohol cooks off and you can feed this to children.

Salad dressing

Just walked over to the healthy butcher, where I bought several types of mustard to make a salad dressing for dinner tonight...they sell a Canadian Mustard called Kozlik's.  I love to eat the mustard just on pretzels.


My salad dressing for tonight 


2 part olive oil
1 part white balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon maple mustard
1 teaspoon smoked mustard
1 scallion grated
half a lemon juice
lemon zest
salt and pepper
and a splash of real maple syrup


mix together and keep refrigerated 

Spaghetti Sauce

So Tonight's dinner was delicious.  When I went to the Healthy Butcher on Queen they had no more Hot Italian Sausage, so I used Chorizo Sausage.  Delicious.  I also made a home made salad dressing to be served with spinach salad.
