The Chicken Breast Recipe You'll Make Again and Again
|
Hello Reader, I think chicken breast gets a bit of an unfair reputation. It's often the last thing people get excited about cooking, but with the right recipe, it can be one of the most comforting dinners you'll make all week. This creamy mushroom chicken is exactly that. Golden chicken breasts simmered in a rich garlic and mushroom sauce with a splash of cream, plenty of parmesan and fresh thyme. It feels like something you'd order at your favourite little bistro, yet it's made with simple supermarket ingredients and is ready in under an hour. Serve it with creamy mashed potatoes, pasta or a big piece of crusty bread to soak up every last bit of that sauce. Trust me, you won't want any of it going to waste. If you're looking for a cosy midweek dinner that everyone at the table will happily eat, this is the one.
Enjoy, Daen xoxo ✨ Join my Cookbook Club✨ |

Hello Reader, If you were up late celebrating the 4th of July, or like me, up too late with a few too many glasses of red wine waiting for gossip about Taylor Swift's wedding, today calls for exactly one thing: pastina. It's the perfect dish to make when you don't feel like cooking but need something comforting! Growing up, there was an unspoken rule in our house. Pastina had to be eaten on the couch, in the comfiest clothes you owned. My mum made it whenever we were sick, heartbroken, or...
Hello Reader, Okay, I have to talk about this one because you clearly can't stop clicking on it either... my cherry tomato and basil pasta has been getting so much love lately and I love to see it! It's the kind of dish that tastes like summer in a bowl. Cherry tomatoes blister and burst in the pan with lots of olive oil until they turn jammy and sweet, then a big handful of fresh basil and sprinkling of pecorino romano turns it into a sauce that genuinely rivals anything you'd buy in a jar....
Hi friends, Every weekend, without fail, one recipe rises to the top of my website.Out of hundreds of recipes, this is the one you all keep clicking on. My French Onion and Roasted Garlic Cob Loaf. I think it's because it's one of those recipes that brings people together. Whether you're hosting friends, heading to a family barbecue or just looking for something fun to put in the middle of the table, it never disappoints. If you haven't heard of a cob loaf, you're probably not Australian....
