Lemon Butter Chicken

Today I made the Lemon Butter Chicken from Damn Delicious.  I was a little skeptical until I read the second ingredient, smoked paprika. Mmmm. Love some smoked paprika.

An essential part of cooking is the soundtrack. My husband suggests:

And he's right.  Men at work and the smells of this meal were a match.

I also used my new kitchen tablet because for years now I've been using my phone and it is really inconvenient. This worked out great.

The alterations I made to the Damn Delicious recipe were that I didn't measure the garlic, smoked paprika, or butter. You can never go overboard on those. I also used three boneless, skinless chicken breasts because they're easier to prep for work lunches for the next couple of days. I also don't have a pan that is oven safe, so dumped it into a Pyrex before baking.

The plated photo was taken, then I took the chicken off, had Chris chop it up and we shared one on a bed of fresh spinach.  The only thing that would have improved this meal is if I'd thought to shred some smoked gruyere for the spinach.

This meal really is damn delicious!

My Butter Dish

I love my butter dish. I never thought about having a true appreciation for butter until I read Julie Powell's 'Julie & Julia'. For a couple of years now, I've been purchasing Kerrygold butter. Yummy. This stuff is great. It's like I didn't even know what butter was before this. So I needed a wider butter dish. I try to buy red things for my kitchen. So after searching for what seemed like forever, I found this dish at a Marshalls.  It isn't wide enough for my butter. But it's pretty and red and makes me smile. All that said, I'm clumsy, so I'll probably drop it or knock it off the counter today.

I'm also publishing from a tablet. More on the tablet later, but now I'll confess that I'm not tech savvy. This is my first tablet and I bought it solely for kitchen use. Please forgive my device/app/everything technical ignorance

Hello

Welcome to my kitchen! I love to cook and am always finding new recipes online. I try these with having to make many adjustments due to food allergies.  After positive feedback from friends and family after posting photos of the food on facebook and instagram, I am trying blogger to display a broader account of each cooking experience. I'll also use this platform to show appreciation, criticism, or antidotes about my cooking tools.
