Salt and pepper


Olive oil


Chicken stock


Balsamic vinegar


Dried thyme


Fresh rosemary


White whine ( I like German Rieslings鈥?


Butter


1. Dry chicken off with paper towel. Dredge chicken in seasoned flour.

3. Add enough stock to cover chicken.


4. Add a splash of balsamic vinegar, dried thyme, and fresh rosemary.


5. Allow to reduce by 陆.


6. Add a splash of white whine. Cook until sauce clings to the back of the spoon.

Boil pasta, drain.





Serve chicken and sauce over pasta.

2 liters (8 cups) of chicken or vegetable stock (low sodium again)


1 packet of french onion soup mix


1 free range chicken breast cubed

1 large carrot diced


1 large red onion diced


1 medium potato diced


1/2 a cup of shredded red cabbage


1/2 a cup of green beans, quartered


2 cloves of garlic, crushed


1 tablespoon of butter, margarine, olive oil (whatever you prefer)


A splash of wustishire sauce


1 Cup of whole wheat pasta


Fresh herbs (whatever you really like, oregano %26amp; thyme are nice)


A little salt %26amp; pepper to season


You may need up to 4 cups of water depending on how much liquid cooks out of the soup.





1) Turn the heat to medium/high %26amp; melt the butter %26amp; sautee the chicken, onion %26amp; garlic until the chicken is browned.





2) Add the stock, tomatoes, soup mix, pasta, potato, chopped herbs %26amp; carrot.
