Here is another chicken recipe I tried out and really liked, but didn't write down. I didn't even measure amounts, so there's no way I can replicate it exactly, but I assure you it was delicious.
- 1 chicken breast, cubed
- ~1/4 cup of white wine
- salt + pepper, to taste (to me this is a few shakes of salt, and a couple turns of the pepper mill)
- ~1/4-1/3 cup apple juice
- 4-5 dried apricots
- small handful of dried cranberries
- onion (minced) and/or sweet pepper (chopped)
- garlic powder
- dried parsley
Marinate the chicken in wine, salt, and pepper. Chop the apricots into thirds; heat apricots and cranberries in apple juice until it simmers. If using onion, add them at this point. Add chicken (don't pour in the wine) and garlic powder. When chicken is mostly cooked, add the pepper and parsley. Cook until the juice is almost all evaporated, and everything looks nummy. Make some cheesy parmesan toast for starch. Eat!
On the craft front, I finished a cotton scarf in a knitted lace pattern a while ago, but I've been getting confused on what makes a good blocking pin. I picked up some pins today from my favourite yarn shop, yay! So I'll be blocking that tonight... probably on the sofa, which is currently the only free surface, as the desk has my sewing machine and iron, and our "dining table" is covered in fabric from various projects (not just mine, though!). But we'll see how well that goes. Currently, my only decent spray bottle is outside in my bucket, underneath a bag of potting soil. Hmm...
