Creamy chive chicken with lemony rice and Dijon apple salad

1 serving prepared

Here's what you get:

Apple

Lemon

Mustard

Chicken stock concentrate

Mixed greens

Chives

Chicken cutlet

Sour cream

Jasmine rice (not used)

Additions:

Cherry tomato

Cucumber

The protein:

After seasoning the chicken I cooked at 5 minutes per side (non-stickpan) and then set aside to rest for 3 minutes.

The sauce:

I prepared this before the chicken all it took was adding the stock concentrate, mustard, vegetable stock, lemon juice, sour cream, and chives in a pan and reducing. I did not add any additional salt during this process.

The salad:

I actually received a bigger bag of salad with this kit so I didn't use the rice and went all salad instead, adding some cucumbers and cherry tomatoes.

The salad dressing was made with avocado oil, lemon some of the mustard a little bit of sugar, pepper and chives. No additional salt was added here.

The plate:

This was really good, flavorful and made a great salad dish. The next time I make it I think I won't heat up the sauce used for the chicken. The salad dressing was absolutely perfect.

Cooking by the Book 1: Orc Bacon

Bacon butter!

Making: Today I'll be making bacon butter. Whenever I make bacon I save the grease. Now that I have enough it will be turned into batches of bacon butter. I used about 2.75 sticks of butter total. Cut into jars then I let them sit until the butter was close to room temperature. The bacon fat I have collected (Stored in the refrigerator) was heated in bits over a double boiler until liquified but not too hot. The melted bacon fat was poured over the butter. You can use a strainer to get rid of and chunky bits and then mixed until well incorporated. The smaller jars have just over 3 oz butter. The bigger jar has 4.3 oz butter. Here are the finished jars. These will be stored in the fridge and used to cook veggies and sear meats. You could also put herbs in the jar for different flavors. - Kris
