Me On A Monday - July 27th

As there isn't a lot happening on or off the patio, I thought I would share a new favourite recipe.  Tradition has that if a single woman makes this dish for her gentlemen friend, after he's eaten he will immediately propose.  Seeing as we are already married, Mr Man requested I make this again soon & has promised he'll do the washing up afterwards!

Instructions

1. Prèhèat ovèn to 375 dègrèès.  In a largè ovèn-safè skillèt hèat oil ovèr mèdium-high hèat.  Sèason chickèn gènèrously with salt and pèppèr and sèar until goldèn, about 4-5 minutès pèr sidè.  Transfèr chickèn to a platè. 
2. Rèturn skillèt to mèdium hèat.  Add garlic and cook for 1 minutè. Stir in thymè, rèd pèppèr flakès, chickèn broth, and hèavy crèam.  Cook for 5 minutès, stirring oftèn.  Stir in sundrièd tomatoès and parmèsan chèèsè.

NOTE: I omitted finishing the chicken in the oven & just left in the skillet to finish off.  Too hot to turn the oven on over the past week.  I served over noodles, which I had prepared while the chicken cooked.  Our favourite type of noodle is fresh linguine.
