LINGUINE WITH CHICKEN AND SAUTEED VEGETABLES
I've been making this recipe for a long time and I usually don't make it the same way twice. I like to use cabbage, shredded carrots, broccoli, cauliflower and green onions, but use any combination of vegetables you like. Add as much garlic oil as you need to prevent the noodles from sticking together.

- Heat the oven to 350 degrees F. Stir the black pepper, paprika and flour on a plate. Coat the chicken with the flour mixture.
- Heat the oil in a 12-inch oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until it's well browned on all sides. Remove the chicken from the skillet.
- Add the onions and potatoes to the skillet and cook for 5 minutes. Add the carrots, stock, lemon juice and oregano and heat to a boil. Return the chicken to the skillet. Cover the skillet.
- Bake for 20 minutes. Uncover the skillet and bake for 15 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender. Sprinkle with the thyme, if desired.
- Serving Suggestion: Serve with corn muffins and steamed broccoli flowerets. For dessert serve red grapes.
- To use 4 skinless boneless chicken breast halves instead of the bone-in chicken: Reduce the oil to 1 tablespoon. Proceed as directed above but do not cover the skillet. Bake, uncovered, for 25 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through. Sprinkle with the thyme, if desired.
Tips:
- Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients and utensils ready. This will help you save time and stay organized while you're cooking.
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The fresher your ingredients are, the better your dish will taste. Look for vegetables that are crisp and brightly colored, and meat that is fresh and free of any discoloration.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When you're sautéing, it's important to not overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the vegetables from cooking evenly and will make them more likely to steam instead of sauté.
- Use a high heat: Sautéing is a high-heat cooking method, so make sure your pan is hot before you add the vegetables. This will help them to brown and caramelize.
- Cook the vegetables in batches: If you're cooking a lot of vegetables, it's best to cook them in batches. This will help to prevent the pan from getting overcrowded and will ensure that the vegetables cook evenly.
- Season the vegetables: Don't forget to season the vegetables with salt, pepper, and other spices to taste. This will help to enhance their flavor.
- Serve immediately: Sautéed vegetables are best served immediately. This will help to preserve their crispness and flavor.
Conclusion:
Sautéing is a quick and easy way to cook vegetables. It's a great way to get your daily dose of vegetables, and it's a versatile cooking method that can be used to create a variety of dishes. With a little practice, you'll be able to sauté vegetables like a pro!
