Chicken Piccata

Creamy Polenta

Method

Chicken Piccata

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper. Dredge them in flour, shaking off excess.

  2. 2

    Cook the Chicken

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes per side. Remove chicken and set aside.

  3. 3

    Make the Sauce

    In the same skillet, add garlic and sauté for 1 minute. Pour in chicken broth and lemon juice, scraping up brown bits. Stir in capers.

  4. 4

    Finish the Dish

    Return the chicken to the skillet, and simmer for 5 more minutes. Add remaining butter and parsley before serving.

Meatballs

  1. 5

    Mix the Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine ground beef, ground pork, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, eggs, garlic, parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.

  2. 6

    Form the Meatballs

    Shape the mixture into meatballs, about 1 inch in diameter.

  3. 7

    Cook the Meatballs

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat and add meatballs. Cook until browned on all sides and cooked through, about 10-15 minutes.

Creamy Polenta

  1. 8

    Boil the Water

    In a large saucepan, bring water to a boil.

  2. 9

    Add the Polenta

    Gradually whisk in the polenta. Reduce heat to low and cook, stirring frequently, until thickened, about 20 minutes.

  3. 10

    Finish the Polenta

    Stir in milk, butter, salt, black pepper, and Parmesan cheese. Mix until creamy.

Lemon Broccoli & Cauliflower

  1. 11

    Prepare the Vegetables

    In a large pot of boiling salted water, blanch the broccoli and cauliflower for about 3-4 minutes until tender-crisp.

  2. 12

    Toss with Dressing

    Drain and transfer to a serving bowl. Drizzle with olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Toss to coat.

OBO’ “Caesar”

  1. 13

    Prepare the Salad

    In a large salad bowl, combine chopped romaine lettuce, shaved Parmesan cheese, and croutons.

  2. 14

    Make the Dressing

    In a small bowl, whisk together garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper.

  3. 15

    Combine and Serve

    Pour the dressing over the salad and toss well to combine before serving.
