Chicken Jägerschnitzel With Hunter’s Sauce

Jagerschnitzel is traditionally breaded pork, but we used chicken as an alternative to this traditional German favorite. Having spent some time in Germany in my younger years I’ve had the traditional preparation a number of times and I’m of the opinion that this was just as good as anything I had overseas. The recipe below is modified from this recipe from a Guy Fieri show that I caught on Food Network.

To make it more friendly for my wife, we substituted chicken breast and turkey bacon instead of using pork. It turned out to be a phenominal meal and matches well with the Spätzle With Parmesan And Parsley that was featured in the same episode.

Slow Cooked Chicken Noodle Soup

Yesterday Vita and I made spätzle and chicken jägerschnitzel. The cooking of the spätzle required 3 quarts of chicken stock and rather than let all that wonderful stock go to waste, I made a VERY slow cooked chicken noodle soup for Souper Sunday.

Broiled and Stuffed Beefsteak Tomatoes

Last night, I didn’t make anything particularly exciting for dinner, but wanted to do something different for a side dish. More often than not, I often just wing it with my side dishes, using whatever I happen to have in the pantry or the fridge. One of the skills I’m trying hard to develop is pairing sides with meals properly and coming up with things that are different than sauteed veggies or the common side salad. So, when I found a recipe for “Blue Cheese Crusted Tomatoes” on Epicurious, I decided to modify it to something that sounded more interesting to me and came up with these Broiled and Stuffed Beefsteak Tomatoes (the stuffing is Danish Blue Cheese, Seasoned Bread Crumbs and Minced Garlic).

Grilled Chicken With Spinach Pesto

The past few nights I’ve been working a bit later than I’d like to be. This fact usually means we do very quick things for dinner, like pre-made soups, leftovers worked into something new and different or meals that I can pick up on my way in from the office. Even though I knew I was in for a longer day, I’d have none of that tonight. Since I had leftover fresh spinach from Souper Sunday’s Creamy Chicken Florentine, I opted for a twist on a traditional Basil and Pine Nut Pesto.
