Tomato Basil chicken party!

Making:

Tomato basil chicken dinner

1 serving prepared

Here's what I have:

6 oz Boneless skinless chicken breast

1 small bunch Basil

2 tbsp Tomato paste

4.2 oz Roma tomato

6 oz Cauliflower

0.6 oz Shallot

0.9 oz Parmesan

1 oz Heavy cream

1/4 cup Veggie broth

Garlic salt

Salt/Pepper

Preparation:

The cauliflower was started first by boiling water in a small saucepan and the cauliflower was left to cook on medium low heat. These will be cooking for most of the prep time for the other ingredients. At the end it will be mashed up. Half of the parmesan and some shredded! basil will be added along with a tiny bit of garlic salt to taste.

While the cauliflower is cooking the chicken was cooked for 5 minutes per side. Once the chicken was finished it was placed on the plate and covered while the chunky tomato was being prepared.

To make the chunky tomatoes, The Roma tomatoes and shallots were added to the non-stick pan along with the broth. This was cooked until soft and then the tomato paste basil and garlic paste were added. Everything was mixed keeping the heat at medium, the heavy cream was added last.

The other half of the parmesan will go on top of the tomatoes.

The plate!

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

I put the asparagus into the steamer basket with them and put the lid back on the pot. I used my cast iron pan, heating it up (high temp) before placing half of the butter into it.
