Lemon Honey Chicken with Broccoli and Sabzi Rice


Definitely a fusion meal. The chicken I got from an asian Lemon Honey chicken recipe, the rice is Persian and the Broccoli is simply Broccoli and I love it.

The Chicken recipe was altered a bit to attain a moist juicy chicken on the inside while having a pan fried out shell and soaking in the overall flavor of the Lemon and Honey. This is a little difficult and requires some practice because normally when pan frying chicken the inside can dry out quickly, however cooking in a bit of chicken stock then draining and pan frying adding a little stock can help give this end result. The rice is typically eaten with Fish in persian culture however can be adapted to many kinds of meats. To pair the broccoli with the rest of the dish, steaming and then mixing with some lemon zest brings a good flavor while maintaining all the natural flavors of Broccoli.

Pizza!!!

Maybe it's not the perfect looking pizza, but the taste and mouth watering effect stills holds true. I made a couple batches of dough this night however this was the only one I managed to take a picture of. This one was, Mozzarella, Asiago, Parmesan, Buffalo Mozzarella, Basil leaves and dried Oregano. Plain, Simple, Traditional and none compare.

Poached just because

I have never poached an egg before, but figured I should give it a try after seeing enough people do it. The result is definitely nicer and healthier then frying the egg. The outcome result as you can see is pretty manageable as well, meaning that the egg yolk does not flow everywhere very easily but is still runny.
Buttered toast with avocado and Lemon & Pepper seasoning on top, then the poached eggs with Sweet potatoes on the side and some bell pepper. The only piece that was missing was some kind of sauce. I wanted to do a Hollandaise Sauce but didn't have everything required to make it. Next time.

Quesadillas

Three different Quesadillas.

Top Left: Pesto, Asiago, Parmesan, Cheddar Melange and Mozzarella cheeses. Yellow Bell Pepper, Mushroom, onion, cherry tomatoes and Oregano and Fresh Basil.

The Pesto is what definitely made this one special. As a simple spread it brings another taste besides the cheese that leaves your taste buds running around to the next best thing.

Front Middle: Asiago, Parmesan, Cheddar Melange and Mozzarella cheeses. Yellow Bell Pepper, Mushroom, Cherry tomato and Oregano and Fresh Basil.

This cheese combination is definitely very nice. Plenty of flavors that do not over power the vegetables. The Oregano is a great addition as a dried herb, because it holds its own ground amongst a combination of such profound flavors.

Back Right: Asiago, Parmesan, Cheddar Melange, Blue Cheese and Mozzarella cheeses. Yellow Bell Pepper and Mushroom.

This one stood out with help by the blue cheese. Blue cheese seems to bring a salivation to the mouth in preparation for that particular taste that cannot be duplicated. The Blue cheese also threw in that extra factor that keeps it standing out from the rest.

All three were so good.

Italian Omellete... plus some

Such a great combination of ingredients. Starting off with fried sweet potato, and garlic sauteed mushrooms, cherry tomatoes, pesto sauce, basil and spinach and mozzarella cheese. The end result was great. The sweet potato especially, stands out holding its own and offering a great natural sweet taste to the savory dish.
