Although I do not intend on posting here every night's dinner, I would like to share one of my few invented dishes - Chicken with feta and raisins. Nothing too fancy, yet it's one of those dishes that looks attractive on the plate, has interesting taste, can be eaten by a toddler, a hungry dad, and a weight-conscient mom, and is very simple and fast to cook. Therefore this is a winner at our house and what I do whenever I don't know what to do with chicken breasts. The dish can be fancier or simpler depending on my mood and who am I cooking for.
I start by letting some onions cook on butter (or sometimes Olive oil, depending on the mood or what I have around) and then add thinly sliced chicken breast, to which I add salt and pepper. After the chicken is cooked, I add either some water or white wine or milk or heavy cream, depending how thick or tasty or dull I want my sauce to be. And after I let the sauce cook for a bit I add on top raisins and feta cheese (In our house we believe "everything's betta with feta!") and whatever herbs I have around - parsley or rosemary, thyme or fresh oreganos. If you want an extra crunch add sliced almonds or walnuts to the mix. Done. It cooks in less than 15 minutes. And I can serve with either rice, mash potatoes or pasta and whatever vegetable on the side.
