@Mik I love chicken marsala.

That looks like a nice recipe.

[Mik]

I can make it faster, but I doubt it will be as good. I used that Glace De Poulet Gold stuff for the stock.

[Mik]

Spectacular. Takes much longer than my usual, but excellent sauce, depth of flavor.

@Mik do I count 4 remotes on the table?

But if that’s what you took from that picture…

4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 cup mayonnaise
½ cup parmesan cheese
1 tsp seasoning salt
½ tsp black pepper
1 tsp garlic powder

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

In a bowl, mix the mayonnaise, cheese, and seasonings.

Spread over each chicken breast.

Place in a baking dish and bake in a preheated 375 degree oven for 45 minutes or until cooked through.

We had takeout tacos. How was the chicken?

Last night made veal short ribs braised in veal stock, Marsala and mushrooms last night served over risotto. Sauce was great. Meat was skimpy and fatty. Too much connective tissue. I prefer boneless chuck sort ribs.

@Mik said in The Cookbook:

How was the chicken?

1. Stupid easy to make.
2. Juicy and flavorful
3. Could have cooked a bit longer to get a nice brown crust.

Mrs. George approves, and that's the most important thing.

Rachel Ray’s Chicken Cacciatore with Porcinis. Saw her make this one morning while surfing and it looked really good.

Not exactly Super Bowl grub but I don’t much care about the game.

Seems a little simple…

Best I’ve made, and I’ve been making it for 35 years.

Good ingredients and great technique makes a great recipe. A million ingredients just makes a mess.

Ayep. Get the right stuff, and know what you're doing. Fancy doesn't have to factor in.

That looks freaking amazing.

[Mik]

I think it will be better tomorrow, served over polenta.

Grilled Cheese...

I've been making it in the air fryer lately, and I'm liking the results.

White bread, slathered with butter (or mayonnaise)
American cheese - usually 1 slice, but 2 might be better because cheese.
Shredded mozzarella
Roma tomato slices
Basil

Any suggestions?

@Mik said in The Cookbook:

Considered that, but it's a lot of time to make.

OTOH, if I just nuke it, it might be acceptable on a sammich.

[Mik]

Just buy the precooked strips.
