Ever-Changing Reflection

Your pain is the breaking of the shell that encloses your understanding... It is the bitter potion by which the physician within you heals your sick self. Therefore trust the physician, and drink his remedy in silence and tranquility.

Want Another Quick and Easy Chicken Recipe?

Well I have one for you! I found this quick chicken and wine recipe via Allrecipes.com app when I was looking for a chicken recipe that took less than 45 minutes. I was a bit skeptical cooking it that it was going to turn out right, but it ended up being perfect. The wine adds a different sweet yet savory flavor that is absolutely yummy. I used regular white cooking wine from the supermarket shelf, but I'm sure it will be better with your favorite inexpensive bottle of white. I served it with whole wheat rotini mixed with shelled edamame (my new favorite food), EVOO, a pinch of kosher salt and some dried basil. The entire dish took me about 40 minutes start to finish.

Ingredients

  • 4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - cut into strips (tenders work perfectly)
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1 pinch ground black pepper
  • 1/2 cup white wine
  • 4 tablespoons butter

Directions

  1. Season chicken with salt and pepper to taste. In a shallow plate, spread Parmesan cheese. Divide chicken into three parts and dip seasoned chicken in eggs, then coat well with Parmesan cheese. Repeat until all of the chicken pieces are well coated (if you run short on egg and Parmesan, add one more egg and more Parmesan as needed).
  2. In a skillet, melt butter or margarine over medium high heat. Cook chicken, stirring frequently, until golden brown.
  3. Reduce heat and add wine. Cover and simmer over low heat for 20 minutes.
