    I love quick and easy dishes that are restaurant quality, taste amazing, and are fast and easy to make. The kitchen smells wonderful, I've fed my family something healthy and delicious, and my kids think I'm a superstar! Yes, it takes a little more time than grabbing take out. Not much though. But for a 30 minute investment, I've nourished my family with healthy, natural ingredients that I control. That's a very satisfying feeling. Offering your family a home cooked meal is a treasured gift, the memories of which will last a lifetime.  With each meal we prepare for our families, we are reinforcing that time honored connection between love, family, food, and nourishment.  All in under 30 minutes!

I use oil from the jar of sundried tomatoes, it's so flavorful. I also flatten the chicken breasts with a kitchen mallet to even them out and make them thinner, like cutlets. If they are thick, cut them in half horizontally.

      These were super yummie! I actually marinated them overnight, as I had started the recipe but something came up and i couldn’t finish cooking them. That gave them so much flavour.
