Okay, so my fridge was kind of empty again today...So I had to invent!! I had some chicken in the fridge thawing out, and had this brilliant idea come to mind. So, here is what I did:
I put about 2 TBS of olive oil in a non stick pan, then added finely chopped onion, dried basil, and a little lemon juice. Then I cut my chicken thighs into time pieces and put them in the pan to cook. I also sprinkled a little bit of lemon pepper on the chicken.
In another pot, I made about 2 cups of chicken broth. I still had some gravy left from that other experiment (see previous post) so I added about a cup of that to it too. Then, I added some corn starch to thicken it into a sauce.
Last, I boiled some spaghetti noodles. After they were cooked and drained, I put the chicken into the sauce and that went on top of the noodles-kind of like alfredo. It was really good...I just think the sauce should have been thicker. It also would have been yummy to add some veggies to the broth.
The second thing I tried today was brownies. About a week ago, I made brownies from a recipe book I got in 8th grade-which can be a bad idea, as 8th graders can be prone to type stuff wrong. The brownies were really dry, so I made some fudge sauce too. Well, the brownies got eaten, but the sauce did not. So, the 2nd thing I tried today was a modification of that dry brownie recipe. Instead of using the cocoa called for in the recipe, I used the sauce. I also had to add milk, so the brownies weren't super dry. Also, I had about 1/4 cup of cream cheese in my fridge that I threw in. It turned out pretty good. Very interesting flavor.
When I have gone shopping again, I will recreate the chicken and noodle recipe using actual measurements. It was a really good recipe. :)
Bon Appetite!
