Last Supper in NC

Finally!  An intelligent packaging idea.....or maybe we don't have it up north yet (or maybe I should go shopping more often).  Told the lady in Food Lion (there's always someone around in stores to help you down here in the south) I was  hesitant buying the package because I couldn't see the contents.  She agreed.  So with a blind leap of faith,  I lucked out and for my last supper tonight in NC, I cooked two breasts in order to have leftovers for another meal.  

The photo looks like you have to cut the packaging to use what you need; but no, there's six individually wrapped, air-tight sealed portions.  Great for one person--boneless, skinless, and no fat.  Perfection.

I marinated them in sesame ginger with mandarin orange juice, then cut them into strips to be sauteed in a little olive oil.  When cooked, I added tomato sauce, peas, onions, and basil and continued to cook the mixture a while longer.  When done, I served a portion on top of a bed of Jasmine rice.  The flavors didn't fight with each other and it was quite delicious.  It was too much to unpack, setup, cook, and clean up my grill for such a small piece.  The results were excellent.  The rice came out perfect with none sticking to the pot, the chicken was done perfectly and the marinade was barely noticed.  I doctored the sauce with salt, pepper, basil, and onion which enhanced the flavor of the entire dish.  I sprinkled a little Parmesan cheese but it wasn't necessary.

Yous may ask, "What's the big deal,  I cook all the time."  The big deal, my dear reader is, I don't cook--ever.  Two of my favorite dishes that I prepare are stuffed shells and a marinated London broil grilled to perfection. 

My Cooking Library.  I have a long way to go....but, except for the
books on birds, I plan to experiment with all of them.

And so another campground has been visited, enjoyed, and recommended.  Into my 36 year old Camping Log Book it goes.  Tomorrow, I hope to get an early start for the 5+ hour trip to Hilton Head Island, South Carolina where, on Saturday night, I will enjoy the company and dinner with dear friends Roger and Wendy Arnold.  It is at this point where all of my stops now (except for Key Largo, FL) will enable me to see friends/fellow retirees and relatives.  Till next time, take care and good night
