I prefer chicken thighs, either bone-in or boneless, skinless over chicken breasts. Although I usually get bone-in simply because it's cheaper. But from time to time, I do like to cook up chicken breasts. As I did last night for dinner. When I buy them, they are huge, and so I cut them into loins and points, and freeze them separately. This batch I cooked up loins. I just seasoned them with a little bit of salt and pepper, garlic powder, and oregano. Browned them up a couple of minutes on both sides, then added in chicken broth to make a braise. Drizzled Italian dressing over the top and covered and cooked for about 45 minutes. Served them up with some buttered, kernel corn and baked potato slathered with French onion dip and fresh shredded cheddar cheese on top. Delicious! What went on your plate last night?

lol. Thanks. I like to think I do all right, but I am not sure I would qualify as a chef.

I always buy more meat than I need, especially when it's on sale, stock up and freeze it. I plan my meals according to what I have on hand.

Just cheddar cheese? That's it? Nothing but cheese?

Well, last night it was the pork chops in the air fryer which came out very well. Air-fryer is a bit misleading as a name, it's more like a mini-convection oven. I did the mixed root mash and brocolli but also a little bit of cauliflower (if you want expensive, cauliflower is it atm) and a rosemary and mustard gravy. Tonight I'm making a fish pie, the kind with mashed potato topping and a white sauce. It's been freezing cold again so looking at a bit of comforting food.

Yeah, the air fryer thing is still pretty popular, but to me it is an unnecessary appliance that doesn't do much different than an oven does. But I can see why people like to use them. Just not my thing. But your food all sounds great.

My dinner last night was delicious. I attended a farewell dinner of a friend. Fish and pork were special dishes.

I haven't had fish in a while. Need to add it to my list. I have some in the freezer, so it should be easy enough to just get it out and cook it up.
