Baked Chicken Breasts with Mustard Crust Time: 35 minutes
2 chicken breasts, boneless, skinless
2 tbs Dijon mustard
2 tbs olive oil
1/2 tsp dried tarragon
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/3 cup bread crumbs
In small bowl mix mustard, 1 tbs oil, tarragon and garlic. Spread over both sides of chicken breasts. Put bread crumbs on a plate and roll to coat completely. Put remaining tbs oil on baking sheet and spread to fit under chicken. Place chicken on the oiled baking sheet. Bake at 400F (200C) for 25 - 30 minutes, turning once after 15 minutes, until topping is light brown and chicken is done (test if not sure - see techniques). Remove and serve.
Oven Fries, Spicy Time: 40 minutes
2 large potatoes or 4 small (or however many you think you would like)
2 tbs olive oil
1 tsp chili powder
2 tsp Worcestershire Sauce
Slice potatoes the long way - a large potato into 8 wedges and small ones into 6. Put remaining ingredients into large bowl and mix well. Add potatoes and toss, coating thoroughly. Arrange potatoes on baking sheet with rim (I use my trusty, round pizza pan) Bake at 400F for 30 minutes. You can turn once if you like to fuss but I usually don't bother. When done remove from pan and sprinkle lightly with salt & pepper and serve. These will stay hot for awhile so a 5 or 10 minute delay is okay.
Cauliflower with Parmesan Sauce Time: 25 minutes
Cauliflower - 1/3 head, enough for 2 people.
1/4 cup chicken stock
1/4 cup plain yogurt or crème fraiche
1 tsp Dijon mustard
1/4 cup grated Parmesan
pepper - seasoned pepper is nice
Cut cauliflower into pieces, put into a steamer basket and steam over water for 10 - 15 minutes until fork-tender. Remove from pan and empty water. Heat stock in the same pan. When hot add mustard, Parmesan and yogurt. Stir well as it heats but do not let it boil. Spoon over cauliflower and serve.
