I made this recipe this week and it was soooooooooo delicious. It turned out to be 5 servings, so it made a good lunch too. The only thing that I did differently, is that I made it in a dutch oven because it's really a ton of food - and would be very hard to do in one skillet. It was one of those... "even better the next day" recipes! Super easy!
2 large tart unpeeled apples, such as Granny Smith
8 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
1 teaspoon black pepper
6 tablespoons olive oil
1 green pepper, coarsely chopped
1 yellow pepper, coarsely chopped
1 medium onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 14 ½-ounce can diced tomatoes
1 tablespoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 cup long-grain converted rice
2 cups chicken broth
1/4 teaspoon fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped
Quarter, core, and slice the apples into ¼-inch-thick pieces; set aside. Season the chicken with the salt and black pepper. Heat the oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook 4 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Remove the chicken and set aside, leaving the oil in the pan. Add the green pepper, yellow pepper, onion, and garlic. Stir well and cook over medium heat until the vegetables are tender, about 10 minutes. Add the tomatoes and apples to the pan. Cook 8 to 10 minutes more. Add the paprika and red pepper. Stir well and add the rice. Cook, stirring, for 2 minutes. Add the chicken broth and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low, arrange the chicken on top of the rice mixture, and cover. Cook about 20 minutes or until the liquid is absorbed. Sprinkle with the parsley. Serve hot.
Yield: Makes 4 servings (5 for us - it's very filling!)
It's just the mix from the box, and some fat free yogurt - and 34 minutes later... the moistest (is that a word) most delicious brownie that you've ever had, and totally fat free. You might need to padlock them once you bake them so that you don't eat the whole pan, but they have gotten me through some very desperate chocolate cravings. If you have a microwave (which I don't) it even tells you how to make them in individual portions. ((I can't vouch for the deliciousness of the microwaved version)
It's a tiny bit bigger than this photo, but REALLY slim. It's 1/4 of an inch thick and weighs less than 2 oz. The pictures on the web and commercials don't do it justice because I had absolutely no idea how tiny and cute it was in person.
It was a Matte Lipstick that lasted forever (in a good way) -- and the color "Malt" was absoultly perfect for that "My So Called Life" greyish-pink, almost corpse-like, grungie color that I was looking for at the time. I remember my friends used to comment on how amazing it was that my lipstick stayed on all day. So that lipstick was amazing UNTIL -- it became all about the gloss. The big trend was wet-looking, shiny sparkly- yet somehow still natural looking lips. Goodbye Matte Malty goodness, it was a nice ride while it lasted.
I'm starting to really like some other fresh products. I'm sure there will be more to come on that front.
It's a lint roller, that makes your clothes smell like they just came out of the dryer. Unbelievable. Possibly the best lint-related invention of all time. I don't want to give away all my secrets for this blog on day 1 but if you have a pet, and your pet has hair and you don't like wearing that pet's hair to work - this is right up your alley.
