2 chicken breasts, sliced thinly to create 2 to 3 breasts slices
1 cup very condensed chicken broth
1/4 cup white wine
1 lemon, juice of
3 eggs
parmesan cheese
flour
1 garlic clove, crushed
parsley
1/2 cup unsalted butter (not margarine)
linguine
Dust chicken with flour.
In a flat container mix together eggs and enough parmesan cheese to create a thick batter (something like pancake batter).
Dip breasts in batter and cook at medium to med-high heat in a little olive oil, brown a little on both sides.
Remove all chicken to a platter- keep warm.
In same skillet increase heat to a med-high and quickly brown the garlic (not too brown) then deglaze pan with wine and let "boil" a few minutes.
Add broth, butter and let cook until butter has melted.
Add parsley, quickly whisking together.
Add lemon juice 1/4 at a time until desired taste.
Thicken if desired.
Ladle over chicken and pasta on individual plates, with a garnish of lemon wedges and parmesan cheese.

this sounds DELICIOUS, Kim! yummmm. i'll be on the couch in my jammies with a glass of wine waiting for you to come and make it for me!

nahhhh, i'll probably get around to cooking more since the weather is cooling off.

Oh a nice bottle of wine sounds good. I haven't tried it since surgery I am afraid it would make me dump.

a little bit will probably work ok for you. i can drink a glass slowly and i'm fine. just a slight buzz from the alcohol that wears off quickly.

Ugh, I suck at cooking. I'm hoping along with WLS, I will become an adequate cook. That recipe sounds amazing.....you sure you don't want to start one of those meal delivery companies?? Do they have those for WLS patients?? curious... I would pay, seriously.

I get chicken in 4 days..WOOHOO!!!

I think I'll start with a chicken salad in my new magic bullet blender ---any good recipes for that Kim?

I will have to come up with some creative chicken salad recipes. I think a girls night with some good cooking and a bottle of wine and a good movie is in order. Lets all crash at CiCis.

Oklahoma and Michigan are two states I have not crossed off my U.S. travel map!

What if we did one of those progressive dinners, for TT people, across state lines, over the course of several months! LOL.

That would be so crazy. My friends always do those...and like I said, I can't cook, so I never host and I was always in charge of bringing the alcohol along the way... :-(

Also, is chicken salad supposed to be cold or hot?? For some reason I don't really like cold chicken??

Warm chicken salad is jammin'. I love it ...
