2 each chicken breasts
1 lb mushrooms
1 each lemon, sliced into thin wedg
1 cup tomato sauce-8 oz
1 each basil, chopped fresh
6 each sprouts
1 chives, chopped
1/4 cup white wine-cheap
1/2 cup mozarella cheese, shredded *
1 cup rice, uncooked
1 parmesan cheese.
Directions
Chicken breasts can be split to 4 pieces or cubed to bite size. In
deep fry pan, saute chicken and mushrooms in half of the white wine
with basil, lemon, and chives until mostly done. Splash in rest of
wine (or extra) as needed. Add tomato sauce, cover, and simmer for
20 minutes, or until thickened, stirring occasionally. When done,
lemon wedges should be thoroughly cooked, and can be eaten. Serve
over steamed rice. Top with a sprinkle of parmesan or mozarella (not
too much) and a little sprinkle of chives. (It's good without the
cheese, too.) Garnish with a fresh sprig of basil and wedges from
unused half of lemon. Serves 2 (plenty). NOTE: The white wine can be
replaced with apple juice. As a matter of fact, I like mushrooms
cooked in apple juice until it's reduced down to almost nothing. A
lot less calories than cooking them in butter, and tastes great.
Sometimes I'll put in a clove of garlic. (I haven't tried this when
using apple juice instead of wine yet.) D PILEGGI (TDJR42A) Recipe:

The History of Recipes
Experts have found proof that recipes existed back into the distant past, certainly as far back into history as ancient Egypt, and possibly even further. In practice though, mostly, these ancient cookbooks were just primitive hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for food preparation.
Later on, in Roman times 25BC a man called Apicius assembled a number of scripts detailing recipes enjoyed by wealthy roman citizens. He describes how the meals were divided into hors d`oeuvre, main course and dessert, something that is very familiar to us today. Aspicius also tells us how the Roman chefs used many aromatic flavors, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens like thyme, rue and dill. During the succeeding few centuries, the powerful families of Wesstern Europe competed to serve the most exotic meals, and as a consequence, cooks and their collection of recipes increased in prestige. Notwithstanding that, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that fine cookery and recipe publications became popular. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated their lives to collating, trying out, and recording recipes that were common in the better off homes of the day. Like it or not, the introduction of television brought us TV cooks and the recipe books that accompanied them. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing us all to search through thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on sites such as the one you are reading now. |
