The Chicken Laid an Egg

Blackened Chicken

Funny story. I bought some chicken to make waldorf salad, but then the cookbook had a different recipe that the website. I hate when that happens. So waldorf salad has been put on hold, and I used the chicken for this recipe… Blackened Chicken… and oh my goodness. It was extremely delicious. Probably my favorite chicken recipe (it’s close with the Arizona Chicken) so far.

I was a little worried at first with all the spices that the chicken was sprinkled with. The smell itself was making my nose run due to all the spicy spices included. But once the chicken itself was done, the mayonnaise topping really subdued the spiciness and it was a delicious outcome. ​

Now, the recipe calls for grilling, but since it’s still winter (barely… hurry up spring!) I did not want to grill. So stovetop skillet it is! The chicken may not have been as “blackened” as it should be, but it was deliciously cooked and perfectly timed to seal all the juices and tastes inside. I’ll definitely be making this recipe again. Thumbs way up!

Double Cheese Eggs Benedict

I’m the worst at cooking eggs. The only way I’m actually decent at making them is scrambled, mainly because the yolk is supposed to be broken. My favorite way to have them is over easy. But I always seem to break the yolk regardless. See picture. For the most part, this recipe is the same. I broke the yolks while transferring, what’s new? It was still tasty though.

​Since I only used one of the english muffins from the package, I went ahead and made english muffin pizzas with the rest. Mmm Mmm I love me some english muffin pizzas. SO GOOD! The Eggs Benedict was just alright.

Not as great as the ones that you can get over at Mimi’s Cafe in Chesterfield, MO. Be sure to check them out one day if you’re in the St. Louis area!

I won’t be making this one again, and I’ll stick to my scrambled eggs in the morning (if I’m cooking them that is!).
