Taking a Breather

We’ll begin reading a new book next Monday, November 5^th, and I’ll tell you about that story on Friday. For this week, our plans include a recipe, two short stories to read, plus a drawing to win a free book! Be sure to come back each day!

If you’d like to re-read Romance by Design, or read the chapters you missed, this would be the week to do that. The easiest way to read the book is to scroll back to the beginning on September 3^rd (going through “older posts”). Or you could go into the Archives on the sidebar and click on each chapter (from bottom to top).

         Today I’m posting one of Ryan’s favorite recipes, a main dish chicken entrée. Try it!

Ryan’s Creamy Chicken Skillet

Ingredients:

1 Tbsp. canola oil

1 lb. boneless chicken breasts, cut into strips

3-4 cups cut-up vegetables

    (broccoli, carrots, red pepper, onion)

6-oz cream cheese, cubed

1 can chicken broth

1 tsp. basil (or more, to taste)

Heat oil in large skillet, add chicken. Cook and stir until lightly browned. Add chopped onion and red pepper. In the meantime, steam broccoli and carrots in a separate pot for about 15 minutes.

Combine the chicken and veggies in the skillet. Add the cream cheese, broth, and basil. Cook and stir until sauce begins to thicken and chicken is cooked through.

Serve over rice (cooked separately). Enjoy!
