Chicken It Is

Dinner Saturday night – I have a suitcase full of olive oil and wine and don’t want to go out – on the other hand the Republican debate starts at 7:00 CDT and I don’t want to miss a minute so I don’t really feel like cooking.  We have chicken breasts left over from a trip to the HyVee last night.  I take them out of their packaging and slip them into the plastic grocery bag.  It’s a good thing Jenny and Cara finished off the gin last night and I use the bottle to smash them into little flat pieces.  I line a baking sheet with aluminum (I hate washing pots and pans) and drizzle them with Sue Bee honey.  Of course I would prefer the honey harvested in Umbria by Bill, but this is reality and I want dinner on the table.  I put the chicken breasts in the oven to bake at 375 degrees for 30 minutes.  When they are cooked through I put them on the top rack and broil them for 5 minutes to add a little color.  I slice them into strips, drizzle more honey on top (it melts right in) and finish them off with the truffle salt hidden in the refrigerator from this summer.  I have to admit, they are spectacular!
