Another Dinner Post

Sauteed chicken breast with mustard cream sauce, potatoes and zucchini. Accompanied by Spiropoulos Meliasto, a white wine made from the Moschofilero grape. This wine had a rosé tint to it, which is apparently common but this is the first I've experienced.

Sauteed chicken breast in a pan for about 12 minutes each side in olive oil and garlic (had to remove the garlic half-way through though, because it was burning).
Removed chicken from pan and kept warm on a plate. Added 1/4 cup of white wine to hot pan, cooked until reduce by half. Added 1/2 cup of heavy cream, 2 tbsp. of Dijon mustard, and a sprinkle of thyme (the recipe called for terragon, and I think that would have been better, but I didn't have any). Stirred until thickened, about three minutes.
Potatoes were of the frozen variety, added fresh zuchinni tossed in olive oil, salt, pepper and thyme. Cooked in a hot oven for about 25 mintues.


Enjoyed on the patio while listening to Jack Johnson, the wind in the trees, the cicadas, and an owl somewhere nearby going "Hoo hoo...hoo".





Followed by a home-made Frappe: Two tbsp. Nescafe, two tbsp. sugar, two tbsp. heavy cream and about six ounces of cold water, put into a plastic container with lid and shaken. Not bad. Kept me awake while I posted these last three blog entries (which takes far longer than I'd like with the photo upload time).
