Oops, I forgot to post this one! Last Monday we had a quick and easy meal, thanks to Silvana. Josh's mom sent us home with some blanched rapini last weekend - and I wanted to build a meal around that. All I had to do was bake up some chicken, boil up some fregola and dinner is done! I still have that bag of peppers from Costco - so I roasted some peppers, steamed and peeled off the skin, sliced them up and added them to the blanched fregola (blanch according to the package) with some herbs, a slurp of olive oil, squeeze of lemon juice and salt and pepper to taste. All I had to do was rub down the chicken breasts with some salt, pepper and some more of those herbs. Then I sauted the rapini (broccoli rabe) in some olive oil with garlic. Dinner was super easy.
No need for a long recipe tonight. Roast your chicken breasts on 400 for about 10 minutes. A high heat will sear in the juices and keep the breasts moist. Do your poke test at the end to make sure they're done. They should be just firm to the poke - just cooked through. Let them rest on your poultry chopping board for a couple of minutes (so the juices settle) and then slice against the grain and serve up with your fregola (or substitute couscous or a small pasta) and rapini.
