Chicken Piccata

Served with farro and green beans, this was a very nice and simple dinner.  We used Giada's recipe again and it was excellent.  The reviewers said it had too much lemon, but we used a full 1/2 cup for three chicken breasts and thought it was good.  It was definitely piccata, too much for Andrew and his pursed face, but the adults liked it.

The farro was made with half chicken stock, half water and was great on its own, even better with the sauce.  The green beans were just steamed but rounded it out nicely.

Moroccan Chicken Stew

Saturday, January 2

A hot, filling stew with a little kick on a very cold day, using leftover rotisserie chicken and cous cous plus sweet potato and zucchini. This could easily be vegetarian by substituting chick peas for the chicken.
