food friday!

nothing new this week so i'll throw it back to a couple weeks ago. Ape made Saffron Chicken with parsley.



I think this is the recipe...
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 onion, cut in lengthwise slivers
1 T olive oil
1 tsp. butter (optional)
pinch saffron (about 1/4 tsp.)
1/2 cup chicken stock
1 T fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh parsley

Use a heavy pan which is not too large and has a tight-fitting lid. Trim all visible fat and tendons from chicken breasts and cut in 1/2 strips on the diagonal. Brown chicken well in olive oil (and butter if using). Remove chicken from pan, add onion, and brown over very low heat until edges of onion pieces are turning golden. Add chicken back to pan. Heat chicken stock, add saffron, and pour over chicken. Simmer on very low heat with pan covered 30-45 minutes. Add chopped parsley, lemon juice, and a tiny bit of additional water if needed, and simmer 15 minutes more. Serve with brown rice.

Overall the dish was very good. The silky lemony buttery sauce was enough to drool over. WE totally killed it. I don't think we had enough leftovers for lunch the next day. haha
