SAUTEED PORK CHOPS WITH MUSHROOMS, DILL, AND SOUR CREAM


These pork chops go well with rice with julienned carrots.
Active time: 20 min Start to finish: 20 min

4 (1/4- to 1/3-inch-thick) boneless pork chops (2/3 lb total)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 small onion, halved lengthwise and thinly sliced lengthwise
1/4 lb mushrooms, cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices
1/3 cup sour cream
1/4 cup water
2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
I used 1 large teaspoon of dried dill instead of fresh

Pat pork dry and season with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon butter in a 10-inch heavy skillet over high heat until foam subsides, then sauté chops until browned and just cooked through, about 1 1/2 minutes on each side. Transfer chops to a platter and keep warm, covered.

Reduce heat to moderate and add remaining tablespoon butter to skillet. When foam subsides, cook onion and mushrooms, stirring, until tender, about 6 minutes. Reduce heat to low and stir in sour cream, water, any meat juices that have accumulated on platter, dill, and salt and pepper to taste and cook, stirring, until heated through. (Do not let boil.) Spoon sauce over chops.

Makes 2 servings.

Chicken Piccata:

4 Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts, flattened thin

1/2 Cup Flour

Salt & Pepper

3 Tablespoons Olive Oil

2 Tablespoons Butter



For The Sauce:

4 Tablespoons Butter, Room Temperature

1-2 Tablespoons All-Purpose Flour

1/3 Cup Dry White Wine

1/4 Cup Fresh Lemon Juice

1/4 Cup Canned Low-salt Chicken Broth

3-4 Tablespoons Drained Capers

1/4 Cup Chopped Fresh Parsley

Salt & Pepper



To prepare the sauce, in a small pot, add the wine, broth, and lemon juice. Heat until bubbling. Reduce the heat until simmering, mix the flour into the 4 tablespoons of butter, and using a whisk, begin to add this mixture into the hot liquid, stirring constantly. Once thickened remove from the heat and add the capers and parsley. Season with salt and pepper as needed. Keep Warm.

Season the flour with salt and pepper and dredge in the seasoned flour. Heat the oil and butter in a heavy frying pan, and add some of the chicken pieces to the pan, and cook in batches. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes on each side over medium heat, until the chicken is lightly browned and cooked through. Return all of the cooked chicken to the frying pan, and pour the prepared sauce over the chicken. Mix lightly to coat, and serve.

I usually make chicken enchiladas real quick

Take a pound of chicken and saute it in a pan with enchilada sauce.
when it is almsot cooked...take taco seasoning and cook till brown
Take bakeware and spread it with enchilada sauce.
Take the chicken amd roll it in tortillas.
The spread more sauce over the tortillas, and add shredded lettuce, shredded cheddar cheese and diced tomatoes...bake for about 15 minutes.

I usually make Spanish rice and refried beans as a side dish

Jenn, Alfredo only takes 15 minutes to make and you can just add the already made crab meat to it.

Do you know how to make Alfredo sauce?

Angel Hair Pasta, Veggies and Chicken

Cook a pound of Angel Hair - this pasta cooks up quick 2 mins.

In a separate pan, saute chicken strips until white (or buy chicken shortcuts and add at the end since they're precooked) in 3 tablespoons olive oil. Add crushed garlic, carrots and broccoli florets -thawed, add 2/3 cup chicken broth, cook for several mins until not frozen. Add Parmesan cheese - I like Locatelli and dry basil.

Put pasta in bowl, toss the chicken, veggies mixture in the bowl over pasta. Add more parm cheese and some ricotta to taste. It's a nice summer dish.

Takes a half hour....

I also serve tomato salad with this....

Sliced tomatos, vidalia onions, dry basil in extra virgin oilve oil and balsamic vin. to taste.

Prep time. 5-10 mins....

Mac & Cheese with Tuna Casserole

1 box Velveeta Shells & Cheese
1 can Chunk Light Tuna in Water
Bread crumbs
1/4 cup milk

Prepare Shells & Cheese following directions on box. Add milk, mix well. Drain tuna, then dump the tuna onto a plate and 'shred' with a fork so that it's not all clumpy. Mix tuna into Shells & Cheese. Top with bread crumbs. Bake for 20-25 min. at 350 degrees or until slightly browned on top.

I usually have that with a salad and that's it - it's very filling.

Latina I buy the jar one

Re: Quick dinner recipes-please post

Ok...This is what I usually do, instead of heavy cream I use fat free half and half (less oily) and 3/4 of a stick of butter. In a small sauce pan I let this simmer a little and it will get a little thick while stirring. In the meantime you boil the pasta. After the pasta is done put it back in the pot and you can now throw in the sauce. I usually add the parmesan cheese after because this way I can figure how much I need while I mix it all in. After that a little salt and fresh ground pepper to taste.

If you are confused let me know because I am not good at giving directions.

This literally takes 15 minutes from the moment the water for the pasta startes boiling.

ETA: This is for 1lb of pasta.
