Hi everybody, what's cooking this weekend? Anyone started cooking pumpkins yet?
Today I tried to use a bit of leftover marinade used to make Danielle's Teriyaki Chicken for some rashers of bacon. Turned out great!

Hi Danielle, I'm fine. How have you been? Busy with Babette's bloggers conference? Are you starting your own business like Grammadot doing five cheese cakes?

Wow, wish my conferences were like that. You'd better make sure they'll make it to the conference before someone fancies a piece in your house Laughing

it helps when the conference is about food (its babettes bloggers conference). I'm just hoping the girls don't dig into them. I'm going to freeze them though...hopefully that will discourage the girls (and their friends). Maybe I should make a decoy...cookies or something Cool

That could be scary Shocked

LOL

I have another chicken recipe to share with you.

Citrus Chicken
http://bakespace.com/recipes/detail/Citrus-Chicken/50135/

6 boneless skinless chicken thighs or a couple of boneless skinless chicken breasts (I used the prepackaged chicken thighs from Costco) cut into chunks
1 TB each lemon, lime and orange zest
1 TB each lemon, lime and orange juice
2 shallot, chopped
2 garlic cloves minced
1 TB Dijon mustard
1 TB soy sauce
1/3 cup vegetable oil plus extra for the pan
1 1/2 TB honey
2 TB fresh sage, finely chopped
Salt and Pepper to taste
1/4 cup dry vermouth
1 1/2 cups chicken broth

In a sealable baggy, combine the citrus zests and juice along with the shallots, garlic, Dijon, soy sauce, veggie oil, honey, sage, salt and pepper. Squish around to combine. Add in the chicken. Place in the fridge and allow to marinate for a few hours. I wouldn't do it overnight though. Citrus is a fantastic tenderizer but if left too long, it starts to break down the meat. I've even heard that it will begin to "cook" fish. I don't do fish (due to allergies) so I haven't investigated how and why this happens. Or how technically true it is.....anyways....2 - 6 hours is fine.

Add enough oil in a hot skillet to cover the bottom. Pour everything, chicken and marinade, into the heated skillet.

Cook on medium low, stirring often, until liquid is pretty much cooked down. This is were you have to be careful. If the heat is too high or you cook it too long, you could scorch the marinade residue.

Remove the chicken and set aside

Add the vermouth to the hot skillet and deglaze the pan. Add the chicken broth

Allow to simmer until reduced a bit. Not too much cuz you want enough sauce to pour over the chicken and soak into the rice...ya know? Because once the sauce is done, you add the chicken back into the pan and serve it over some nice fluffy rice

Wow, sounds fantastic Danielle. Looks awesome too. Wish I was back on my feet again and be able to use the stove again. For the time being I'm limited to microwave and oven.
