What's for dinner ( or lunch )

Quick Quiche - Leftover mix of shredded cheese, whole milk, daughter-raised chicken eggs, frozen broccoli, dehydrated green pepper (I dried for dog treats), and pre-cooked bacon thrown in the microwave and surprisingly good!

Last night my dinner was a can of sardines, and I ate them right out of the can. Honest to God I thought to myself I have lived alone for way too long and I've deteriorated into an old recluse. I guess the next step is canned cat food.lol

Try this, one of my mother's favorite lunches:

Place sardines on a plate, sprinkle lightly with vinegar and top with some very thinly sliced onions. Eat with Saltines (soda crackers)
 
I made tonight's supper yesterday when I was in the zone, and put it in the fridge.

It's a boneless chicken breast recipe that's been popular for awhile on YouTube and is pretty good. They call it "French Onion Chicken".

Caramelized onions, olive oil, butter, S&P, flour-dredged chicken, brown in pan, add a little white wine, chicken broth and simmer till thickened and cooked through. Melt Swiss cheese on top like French onion soup gratinee.

This time I changed it.
I added a little chopped fresh garlic to the onions,
I did not add salt, but sprinkled about half an envelope of Lipton Instant Onion Soup mix over the chicken, added no-salt chicken bone broth and because I really love rosemary, I sprinkled some over it all. Smells so nice! No cheese on this.

The dry soup mix has all the salt needed.

If you substitute chicken legs for the naked chicken breasts, this sounds amazing! (I'm a bone-in, dark meat kind of lady!)

Sure, but the chicken needs the flour dredge to thicken the gravy. I'd use thighs, thinking they may hold more flour. I dunno.

hmmm... I'm thinking that I could skip a step by just adding the flour thickener to the liquid instead of dredging. Is there any flour left on the chicken when the liquids have thickened and it's ready to serve? Admittedly, I'm a pretty lazy cook.

A little. When browning , that adds some flavor. But why not add flour later?
