Eh, so I'm blogging about Sunday's cooking on Monday. These things happen.

Yesterday, I cooked...

Chicken and Broccoli

Ingredients:
3 cups chopped broccoli
2 carrots, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons finely chopped yellow onion
1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-size pieces
2 tablespoons teriyaki marinade

Directions:
1. In a large skillet, warm the oil over medium heat. Add all the vegetables and sauté until they begin to soften.
2. Add the chicken and 1 tablespoon teriyaki marinade. When the chicken begins to brown, add the second tablespoon of marinade. Cook for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through. Serve immediately (or, if you're me, serve about 25 minutes later, after the rice is done simmering).

I wasn't all that thrilled to try this dish (mainly because it's not Italian), but I thought it would be good for variety's sake, and I actually ended up liking it quite a lot. It was very simple to cook, and so tasty to eat.

In an effort to make up for skipped recipe posts (which James evidently enjoyed, at least), I present...

Crispy Cracker Chicken

Ingredients:
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 egg white, beaten
1/2 cup crushed wheat crackers (like Wheat Thins)
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 350.
2. Rinse and pat dry the chicken breasts. Coat with the egg white.
3. In a wide, shallow bowl or platter, mix the crushed crackers and Parmesan. Roll the chicken breasts in the mixture until they are well coated.
4. Place the chicken in a pan and bake for about 35 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through (no pink shows in the middle) and the cracker coating is crispy.

I liked this recipe because it was crispy like fried chicken, only not nearly as bad for you, because it wasn't actually fried. And, of course, the chicken that I didn't eat on Sunday night was great as a topping on my salad yesterday.
