Yayyy LOUISEEEEEE'S BIRTHDAYYYYYY!!!!!!!! Happy, happy day :)
I really need to go get Hunger Games from Melissa's house. Everyone loves them!
Here's my menu for the week:
Sunday: Pecan/jalapeno stuffed chicken with salad
Monday: Work happy hour at my house. I'm making crunchy chicken bites (panko and pecan crust) and bruschetta. The bruschetta is grilled bread, then a pancetta/white bean spread that I made yesterday, then tomatoes/basil with smoked salt sprinkled on top. YUM. Other people will bring apps too. No real dinner.
Tuesday: Greek night! Greek chicken (or possibly baked falafel), Greek salad, tabbouli, hummus, pita, tzatziki
Wednesday: Going to Dock n Roll for lobster rolls
Thursday: Tom Kha-Gai soup (I will use chicken instead of tofu)
Friday: Out for dinner before a bday partayyy
Greek night might get scrapped for Family Dinner with taylor and melissa b/c taylor leaves soon to go back and record in Nashville. We've done whole fish on the grill a lot w/ them and I looove that. So fun/easy/fresh.
Is that the crusted chicken recipe that you posted a while back? Maybe last June/July??
ReplyDeletenope, that was a pistachio one with a dijon gravy. this one is way better.
ReplyDeletethe chicken is always marinated in spicy cajun spices and olive oil for at least 3 hours before.
then i use the food processor to grind pecan pieces and panko.
i roll the chicken in the pecan/panko and bake at 350 for like 20 min. i dont do an egg yolk or butter or anything, so that's why i sometimes mash the panko/pecan onto the chicken to make it stick. the olive oil from the marinade helps.
i like tenders the best. this is also one of ryan's favorite meals!
