Chicken
It may or may not be clear to you by now that I like to cook. To many of my friends the idea of being in the kitchen on a regular basis is a bit absurd…unless I’m making them something. But it’s okay with me. I think it’s odd that more of them don’t prefer to cook instead of eating takeout.
But I digress.
The point is sometimes this desire forces to me to reinvent the wheel. My husband says he’d be satisfied eating about 3 things on a rotating schedule, but I cannot be boxed in! Anyway, we buy a lot of chicken breast.
It’s like an all-purpose meat, but it can easily get boring. Chicken forces me to come up with new ways to prepare it. One day at work I started daydreaming about a juicy pan seared chicken breast that had marinated in a homemade … marinade. I could taste it but still can’t really name the flavor I came up with.
Here’s what I did.
Ingredients
Chicken Breasts
Olive Oil
Basil Flakes
Lemon Juice
Garlic Powder
Salt
Pepper
1. Put all ingredients into a plastic bag or container large enough to hold your chicken
2. Toss in defrosted chicken and shake. Then let it sit for about at least 10 minutes
3. Get a pan really hot (no oil necessary because your chicken is pretty greasy)
4. Sear the chicken for a few minutes on each side
5. Toss pan in the oven to finish cooking through

Flower In The Crannied Wall
Flower in the crannied wall,
I pluck you out of the crannies,
I hold you here, root and all, in my hand,
Little flower—but if I could understand
What you are, root and all, and all in all,
I should know what God and man is.
