BONNIE'S AWESOME CHICKEN DIANE

Steps:

• 1. I served this dish with a couple of cups of steamed rice that was seasoned with 2 teaspoons of chicken soup base and cooked in the rice cooker. I started the rice first because it takes longer cook than the chicken.
• 2. If you get your ingredients together for the sauce, and set them aside, then get the chicken cooking, steam your broccoli and get your rice cooker going with the rice, then it only takes about 7 minutes to make the sauce. You want to have everything done before you put the sauce ingredients in the skillet. Then it all comes together like magic. :) This really is a very easy recipe if you prep first.
• 3. COOK THE CHICKEN Trim the fat and remove skin from the chicken. Boneless thighs works in this recipe, but you could use bone in if you have them. I did.
• 4. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Season both sides of skinless thighs with kosher salt and coarse black pepper and place the chicken in a large skillet with 2 tablespoons of oil.
• 5. Fry seasoned thighs until golden brown on one side.
• 6. Turn the thighs, and then cover with a glass lid over the chicken. Once the underside browns, turn the heat to very low and keep the lid on.
• 7. MAKE THE SAUCE Melt 6 tablespoons butter in the medium skillet over lowest heat.
• 8. Saute the mushrooms, green onions, garlic, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, dry mustard, salt and parsley in the 6 tablespoons of butter in the medium skillet. Saute 7 to 10 minutes. It will thicken slightly on its own.
• 9. SERVE IMMEDIATELY! Ladle rice on the plate, place a chicken thigh on top, and spoon sauce over the cooked chicken. I served the chicken with broccoli and sliced tomatoes on the side. Here is how it looks! Enjoy!

STEAK DIANE

Steps:

• Pairs well with: cabernet
• Add the beef stock to a saucepan and reduce over medium-high heat to 1/2 cup, about 1 hour.
• Sprinkle the steaks on both sides with the salt and pepper. In a large skillet or cast-iron pan over medium-high heat, heat 2 tablespoons of the butter and the olive oil. When the butter has melted and the oil shimmers, add the steaks. Brown the steaks on both sides, 3 minutes per side. Transfer the steaks to a plate and set aside, lightly covered with foil.
• Add the mushrooms and shallots to the pan and cook for 2 minutes, stirring frequently, adding oil if needed. Add the garlic. When the garlic is lightly colored, add the brandy (be careful, it can ignite). Add the wine, mustard, Worcestershire and the reduced beef stock. Simmer for 2 to 3 minutes more. Return the steaks to the pan and finish cooking them to the desired temperature, 2 to 4 minutes, depending upon the size of the filets and desired temperature/doneness. For medium-rare, cook to 135 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons butter to the sauce to melt.
• To serve, place a steak on each plate and pour the sauce over the steak.
