Take your place at the table

Sometimes the best dishes are made out of necessity! Don’t you agree?

The other night I was in a pinch for a quick dinner and threw a few pantry staples together to get dinner on the table. Feeling a little bit like a contestant on one of those fun cooking shows, I was pressed for time and forced to use what was already in the fridge and pantry. Along with a package of thin chicken breasts I had on hand, I grabbed some baby bella mushrooms from the refrigerator along with my favorite Cento Pepper Strips in vinegar, chicken stock, Vermouth (dry white wine) and a few other staples like olive oil, flour, etc… With that I made this flavorful Chicken with Vinegar Peppers and Mushrooms dinner. Looks yummy right?!

Vinegar peppers mushroom sauce

You might know that I like to keep peppers in my pantry as well as mushrooms in my refrigerator. These are two items (in my opinion) that can bring a lot of flavor to any dish in a short amount of time. With these two staples on hand I was able to sear, saute and simmer a really flavorful chicken dish in less than 30 minutes. AND all in one skillet – which makes for easy cleanup and easy clean up is always a bonus, right?!

I hope you’ll give it a try – Happy Cooking and enjoy!
