Last night I volunteered to cook dinner for my family the next day. I had this idea to make something out of chicken breast. Might I remind you, I'm only 21 and live in a residence hall on campus which is brand new and the first to feature a kitchen in every apartment.
I scoured my favorite food blogs and recipe sites last night, and picked out a couple of recipes I figured I could attempt. This morning, I went down to the kitchen and found a book titled Chicken (rest of title to come later). I flipped through the pages as I was eating breakfast, and narrowed my selection down to two. I finalized my choice when I saw one of the recipes called for orange juice. I've had a huge craving for citrus lately.
The chicken came out okay, but the biggest issue was that it was dry. My mother said it's because breast is white meat, and tends to be dryer than say, the thigh, which is dark meat. Fortunately, there was enough of the sauce it was marinating in to serve as a dip for the chicken.
We also made takoyaki and this Amish Friendship Soup my family got when they went to Lancaster, PA.
