Behold: food porn.
Spinach and feta stuffed chicken breast, pan fried, served with Asian sauteed red onion and mushrooms, and sliced avocado. Followed by O'Dell's Levity amber.
Easily one of the best meals I've made for myself in some time, but a bit of an accident. I had the pre-stuffed chicken boob from my last trip to Sprouts and it was getting close to "use it or lose it" time. Threw it in a hot pan.
It looked kinda lonely.
Went digging through my produce drawer and settled on a chunk of red onion and a package of white mushrooms I had lying around. Chop chop chop, tossed the onions in. Softened them up some, but they were in danger of drying out by the time the chicken was cooked. In an attempt to add both moisture and flavor, I hit them with some fish sauce.
Holy fuck, did that stink.
In an effort to save my olfactory abilities and go in that same flavor direction, I threw in some soy sauce. Crisis mostly averted.
Unfortunately, the chicken was still going to need more time even after the soy sauce evaporated. Threw some water in and reconstituted the essence of umami. The water (and savory goodness) also helped to steam the chicken the rest of the way to "cooked."
The avocado was just because I had one handy. Does anyone seriously need to justify eating avocado?
