The Kitchen - Scallopini

The Kitchen Chicken Scallopini (Very overdone ... oops) Click to Enlarge  Click to Enlarge Click to Enlarge  This looks so pretty  Click to Enlarge ---------------------- ---------------------- COMMENT This went really well while I was all fired up and focused on meal preparation.  But then I had to wait ... and wait ... and wait.  The waiting drives me mental, in terms of feeling like I'm on standby and from a practical sense.  Anyway, I go and I do my thing while I'm waiting for the 'ritual' to end. Find that my embedded videos are all blocked by Blogger, YouTube (or Google that owns it) -- which I think are all one and the same. There should be some laws about concentration of ownership in media and communications media.  This is not good. Extremely angry and frustrated fiddling here online. So engrossed I forgot about dinner, even when it was good to go.   The final stage of meal prep was hell:  it was a scramble, rushing to get things going from where I left off, feeling distracted and feeling as if I'd been assaulted by Google. Chicken seemed to take FOREVER to fry.  The thicker pieces must have been thicker than I thought they were -- even though I filleted & bashed them beforehand. Had to keep checking by slicing into the thick part:  sort of put me off seeing uncooked chicken and then seeing the 'mutilated' pieces.  Chicken was overdone because I got distracted doing something online.  No biggie.  I don't care if my chicken's overdone.  Normally I'd get a complaint but I didn't this time because the sauce was heaven.  LOL I did my own thing with the sauce.  Last lot I did was oil/butter & white wine reduced.  Alone.  As in, that's it.   This time I added a little garlic, small amount of flour as a thickener, and after the white wine reduced I threw in loads of fresh cream.  Strained the sauce because there was too much going on in there for my liking. Kitchen looks like a bomb site. Forgot to serve the carrot and had my meal cold, because I was preoccupied with being pissed off with Google. Not really good at taking photos.  I move too much maybe.  Would probably be better with a decent camera.  This is just a basic, but it does the job.  Sort of ... if only I could keep still.  LOL The cabbage fry & the carrots colours are amazing.
