Chicken In Wine Sauce (Easy and Quick)

In Reply to: what's for dinner tonight? - melissa
Melt about 6 TBLSP butter in skillet. Sprinkle boneless, skinless chicken breasts with garlic salt and any other seasonings that you like, dust in flour and brown in butter for about 5 minutes or so, just till a little brown (to your liking). Put together 1/2 cup white cooking wine, 2 teaspoons roasted chopped garlic (I buy it already chopped), 2 TBLSP lemon juice (I use bottled Real Lemon), and 2 TBLSP dried parsley. Fresh is good too but I just never have it around. Dump this on the chicken in the skillet and put a lid on it and simmer for 6 minutes. Throw a bag of precooked microwave rice in the microwave, plop some on the plate, put the chicken on top and spoon some sauce over it. Very tasty and ready in less than 30 minutes. My kind of dinner !!! If you use more than about 4 pieces of chicken breast increase the butter to 8 TBLSP. I am sure that Parkay (or whatever) would work just as well but I use butter and be done with it. I usually have broccoli or some other green veggie and a salad with it. I use my Breadman a lot so I usually have hot rolls as well.

Roasted parmesian garlic sauce over grilled chicken served on bed of vermicelli, green salad
with all the fixins including home-made croutons with garlic and homestyle ranch dressing with sweet tea! YUM!
Quick and easy.
I e-mailed my letter. Already written, just sign at the bottom and send. It said 109 Ohioans had sent the letter. Everyone needs to take a minute to do this!
Easy chicken pot pie. A favorite. Recipe below
This is tooooooooooo easy.
Preheat oven to 350.
You will need:
1 box of 2 prepared pie crusts.
Chicken for stir fry
1 can cream of chicken soup
1 box or half of a small bag of frozen mixed vegetables.
Take one box of prepared pie crust out of the refrigerator and throw it on the counter.
Put the stir fry chicken strips in the oven for 20 minutes on 350 then turn the oven up to 425 after taking the cooked chicken out.
Cut up the chicken and put it in a mixing bowl, add the soup and frozen vegetables and stir it up.
Throw one crust in the bottom of a pie plate, dump the chicken mix in, put the top crust on, pinch together and cover the edges with foil.
Cook 20 minutes with foil, remove foil and cook 20 more minutes.
TA DA! 
so easy to make your own baked chicken and tastes better.
Just wash a whole chicken (clean inside, as well) Then salt inside.
Put it breast-side DOWN on small baking rack in shallow baking sheet (I line the pan with foil first), bake at 350 for 30 minute, then turn the bird over onto its back (drain the cavity when you turn it over, put those droppings in the bottom of the cookie sheet). Bake for another hour, turn over (and drain cavity again) for 15-30 minutes, and then turn back on its back for a little longer. I do put some foil over the bird for the first hour or so just to save splatters on the oven. With whole chicken at 69 cents a pound, you just cannot get an cheaper, easier meal than this.
Homemade meatball subs (quick and easy).
Now that I can use the oven again without heating up the house. I had a sweater on until noon today. And socks! Nice relief from 90's and sticky humidity.
I love doing meatball subs, because everyone just helps themselves. Sometimes required when you're behind deadline. :) I just buy ready made meatballs, dump them in a baking pan, pour 2 jars of pizza sauce on top and bake at 350 for about an hour. When the buzzer goes off hubby and kids grab a sub roll, put the stuff in and top it with shredded mozarella.
I get my work done and everyone is happy. (I hate meatball subs).
Quick and easy last minute cleaning trick
Clean those vent covers from heaters, etc. the easy way. Put an old towel on the floor or beneath the vent to catch drips. Put hot water and your favorite cleaner (I use Fantastic because it really cuts the grease and grime fast) in a small bowl or pan. Take a medium to large paint brush and brush the cleaning solution over the slats in the ventilator covers. I do a quick brush over the whole thing first, then go back and start at top and work down. It will remove all the grime and gunk. Blot with a towel (real or paper). You do not need to remove the vent cover to do this. No need to rinse unless you use soapy solution.
Have you looked into Express scribe? That is what I use for my Wav, and it is quick and easy. sm
I don't know if this is compatible with all pedals, but maybe it will help.

I first started on PT, good way to start when you are green. Loved it, simple and good lines.
ShortHand is quick and easy. You can turn off the popup window,
but it is small and barely shows. It just reminds you what is about to play out, which can be helpful for me. Say I wanted to have copd change to COPD, so I have it in there that way. But then I add it as copdj to have it play out in full. If I can't remember if I did it that way, I can look down at the box before I hit space or punctuation and see which way is going to play out.
We're having chili and grilled cheese sandwiches, quick and easy!

Whoops...I forgot - cranberry sauce, too. My husband would kill me if I forgot the cranberry sauce!
That chicken looks good, too! Fried chicken is the one thing
I'm terrible at making. I just can't do it. Whenever we do have fried chicken maybe once a year, I buy the frozen boxed stuff or KFC.
I haven't thought about dinner yet. I'm making muffins today, spiced applesauce muffins, Tabor City yam bread muffins, and banana zucchini muffins. Going to send some to work with hubby and freeze the rest for breakfasts.
Sauce to Go??
Would be happy to send you some. Did find something in the store the other day that might be of interest Kool-Aid invisible. It has no dyes in it so it's clear. They had 2 flavors in our store. Don't give my daughter the stuff on a regular basis but since you brought it up.
So you crochet too?? I'm old enough to be a grandma but got a late start...
hey, lay off the sauce, bub.
Just joshing you, Ash.
Using BBQ sauce can be tasty. nm

wine
I'm not a Transcriptionist yet (still a student, but OLD hehe), my feelings are there's nothing wrong with the occasional glass of wine. I'd drink it, but I haven't found a wine I like enough for a 2nd glass. I occasionally have a bit stiffer drink, but once I start working I won't drink 'my' drinks, since they not only relax me, they send to to sleepy-land. I know several professionals (in other fields) that have a glass of wine when dictating, making notes, preparing briefs, etc. Its not unheard of. My feeling is, as long as the limitations are noted and observed what's the harm? IF it affects your work, time to knock it off.
Hopefully, we're all adults and able to make reasonable judgments on this subject.
(did I sound nice enough? that was my goal!! LOL)
WINE
I agree that we shouldn't judge others. Sometimes I need a drink while working, but unfortunately I would fall asleep with one small glass of wine. I do however know an MT who drinks a lot while working.....I mean a lot...(she has a problem sadly), but the fact remains that even then she is a better MT than most I know. So I guess everybody's different. Wine is good for the nerves and the STESS LEVEL....
I'll pay shipping for some of that sauce! :)
I don't know how you find the time. Of course, then again, I've been back and forth on here when I should be finishing crocheting my new grandson's baby blanket.
Little guy had to arrive a month early when I only had 5 rows done. If I had done 5 more rows, we could wrap the munchkin up in it now. :)
avocado sauce receipe.....sm
1 tbsp. oil
1/4 sm. onion

Some jar sauce is as good as homemade...
I make my own sauce usually, but when I'm not in the mood there are some that surprisingly are just as good as homemade. They are the more expensive ones, Rao's, Victoria, Patsy's, Vincent's. Jar sauce has come a long way! But the less expensive like Prego, Ragu, and even Classico etc., I find are just too sweet. Easy recipe..A couple of jars of Victoria or other better-brand Fra Diavolo sauce. Cook on stove in medium pot on medium heat until hot but not boiling. Throw in a bunch of medium or large size RAW peeled shrimp with tails removed! (I often use the raw frozen in the bag - thawed) and continue cooking/stirring until shrimp turns orange and appears done. Spoon over pasta and top with S&P if you like and lots of grated romano/parmesan cheese. Squisito!

are you having wine with dinner?
just curious but your posts are not making much sense. not that there's anything wrong with wine with dinner, it's just maybe not so wise to post on MT boards when you are so "relaxed".
Beef in Wine
Brown roast.
In separate pot cook two onions, two cloves garlic, two stalks celery,chopped, two carrots, in butter until soft. Add to meat. Mix 2 cups of tomato puree and 2 cups red wine. Add a tablespoon of salt, 10 whole peppercorns, 2 bay leaves. Cook on top of stove until tender, about 3 to 4 hours. Do the day before. The next day clean up the meat and slice it. Serve over noodles. It is delicious.
Glass of wine
I did not mean to start a war. I know the difference between a glass of wine and a "problem with drinking" as my father was an alcoholic as well as ex-husband. And just to let you know the open bottle that I opened Sunday evening for my glass is still in the wine case/holder with one glass missing. I will probably have to throw it out as I usually have one glass and forget that it is there to finish it. Would not make a good alcoholic as I forget to continue to drink -- just my one beer or one glass of wine every couple of weeks. Also, I usually wait until I am very near completion of my work before I "pop" the cork. But again, did not mean to start a war.
Glass of wine
Patti, unfortunately on this board lately, anything can start a war.
Like you, I sometimes start sipping a glass the last 30-60 mins. of my shift - about once a month. Ignore the hostile postings - some of these people read 2 words, take it out of context, and post in response to things that weren't even said.
Personally, I'm glad you posted because I felt a little guilty about sipping an ounce or 2 while working - I grew up in an alcohol-free home, but I certainly saw what alcoholism did to some of my friends' families.

A glass of wine with typing
A while back there were several messages when someone made a halfway joke about drinking and I never answered but I do have to admit that when I sometimes have to work on Sunday nights or some late evenings I do sip on a glass of wine while typing, not an entire bottle but a glass of wine. Just thought I would not comment on it as several people were shocked that anyone would even consider it. Not all the time but occasionally and in moderation.
That is my Sunday comment.
If an MT drinks a whole bottle of wine while...
working, there is NO WAY that can't have any affect. Yikes!  There she.he goes now! 
Opening up Pandora's box of wine
Hey Patti, it's ok to talk about drinking and transcribing. People react strongly because it hits a raw nerve. It's a topic that is kept in the dark. I suspect many transcriptionists do and have drank at the desk. I myself have had a small glass of wine on occasion when I have been so stressed out, like when I have been given a 30-day notice that my work is going to India! Or my foreign-accented dictator yells at me for something stupid! I venture to say that perhaps more transcriptionists have a glass or two of liquor toward the end of their shift than they would care to admit. I just think you got such a response because it is a topic most transcriptionists have thought about in one way or another. I'm not saying it is ok or it is morally wrong. It does happen though.
No bible? No wine? Wait......
I, for one, choose death!

Onion soup mix, 1/2 cup Madiera wine, carrots, potatoes.
Cook roast slowly (325 for about 3 hours, add the potatoes and carrots, cook another hour, and serve.
Or just slice onions on top the roast, add about 1/2 cup water, put in covered dutch oven, cook same as above, adding potatoes and carrots.
How about grilled fish like salmon? Add a glass of wine and you're all set!

Office lunches come to mind, the whole crew would have a glass of wine
We managed to get through the Friday afternoon following the glass of wine. It's holiday time, birthday time, retirement time. Rare - RARE - occasions. I remember the doctors have a very very slight slur LOL. I probably lost a keystroke or two on my speed. The nurses were happier that usual. The secretaries laughed for a change. It's all good.
My family's not into hard liquor. Beer on one side and wine on the other.
Ugh. I only "like" to drink alcohol maybe once a month.
The blackberry wine made by Amana Colonies is really good, too. sm
I have two bottles now in the frig. It don't take much, either, to anesthetize the pain.
