Drescription

We pair shirataki noodles with feta and tomatoes in this quick and vibrant dinner recipe. The tomatoes release their juices to create a glossy sauce that clings to the noodles and carries with it the flavors of garlic, oregano and basil. Crumbled feta and Kalamata olives add a briny punch.

Ingredients

  • ¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • ½ teaspoon salt, divided
  • 1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
  • 1 teaspoon chopped fresh oregano
  • 2 (7 ounce) packages shirataki noodles, rinsed
  • ½ cup lightly packed fresh basil leaves, plus more for garnish
  • ⅓ cup crumbled feta cheese
  • ¼ cup pitted kalamata olives, halved lengthwise

Directions

  1. Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Sprinkle chicken with 1/4 teaspoon salt. Add the chicken to the pan; cook until golden brown and a thermometer inserted in the thickest portion registers 165°F, 5 to 7 minutes per side. Transfer the chicken to a clean cutting board; do not wipe out the pan.
  2. Add tomatoes, garlic, oregano and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt to the pan; cook over medium-high heat, stirring often, until the tomatoes have broken down and the garlic has softened, about 8 minutes. Stir in noodles, basil, feta and olives; remove from heat.
  3. Slice the chicken on the diagonal. Divide the noodle mixture among 4 bowls; top with the chicken. Garnish with additional basil, if desired.

Fish in Foil

Baked fish in foil is a "no-smell" fish recipe, and the only one I make for my family (I hate fish, they love it!). Take foil packets to the table for service, and keep the packets around for wrapping and discarding bones and skin. Then when dinner's done, haul those babies to the outside trash.

Lemony Cream Cheese Pancakes with Blueberries

A world without lemons would be a very sad one. The world would be sad without blueberries, too, but this recipe is good with our without. Rather than a griddle cake you need to stack high then load up with butter and syrup, I wanted one that was both light and custardy, rich and reserved -- immediate gratification. This recipe uses cream cheese and egg whites to pull that off, I think. Honey or jam would be just as good as maple syrup. Or you could eat them plain.
