First let me preface it by saying I do not cook, cannot cook, do a lousy job when I try. I know the numbers for all the take out and the cost of all my favs at the local restaurants. But today I got a wild hair misplaced and decided to fix something for dinner. I thought about the Peanut Sauce Recipe that was on the CB recently from Ohana's and I decided to do an Asian Inspired Chicken Salad. No recipe here just shooting from the frying pan. Anyway, I took chicken breast strips and marinated them in a Thai Peanut Sauce that was mildly hot. I cooked them in a little vegetable oil and put them over a salad of baby greens with mandarin oranges mixed in. Then I sauteed some peanuts in the skillet with the juice left from the cooked chicken. I topped it off with rice noodles! I had a Peanut sauce dressing to use but I tasted it and had to run for the fire extinguisher so I decided that was not the dressing for me. So I used a dressing/marinade from one of the big salad dressing companies it was Asian something. Anyway, even my son who is a picky eater ate some of the lettuce, lots of chicken and the oranges and peanuts!! and the really good news is, it has been almost 4 hours since we ate it and no one has even gotten a little sick from it!! I feel like a domestic goddess!! hehehe NOT!!
thanks for indulging me.
Now to do grad school homework. will return tomorrow. Every one have a great night!!
