So, Mrs. OnZEdge is up north for a wedding and to visit family.
For two and a half weeks.
I have survived 1 week.
Between my full-time job and tending to 9 little dogs and a cockatoo, its Friday and I finally have some free time (plus I ran out of the "leftovers" she packaged up for me).
So I rummaged around the fridge and pantry and came up with this creation:
Oven "Blackened" Boneless Chicken Thighs over Asian Vinaigrette Slaw
Olive oil in the pan and a little drizzle on top:
I Made a rub.
2-TSP Paprika
1-TSP Dried Basil
1-TSP Dried Oregano
½-TSP Onion Powder
½-TSP Garlic Powder
¼-TSP Coarse Kosher Salt
¼-TSP Black Pepper
Mix it all up and sprinkle on:
Asian vinaigrette slaw with nuts and berries (snack mix I had in the pantry):
Convection oven 450F for 15 min, and then 350F for 20 min. I think it is supposed to be 165F internal:
…and then I ATE it:
Very yummy (chicken was perfect), but would be better with chopped greens. Probably would have been fine if I drained the slaw in the salad spinner first, and included a little chopped pineapple along with the nuts and berries.
Not bad for creating it out of thin air with whatever crap I had in the refrigerator…
...and now I have more "leftovers".
