Too good to not write about

Every now and again, I'll make something in the kitchen that is so good I have to write about it or take a picture of it...or both. There is no picture tonight, because I was so taken by the flavors, I forgot.

I'm totally in the zone with my diet. Healthy. Organic. Fresh. Flavorful. I should call it the HOFF diet. :)

So this is what I did. I took two chicken breast halves and sliced them into five pieces. Sort of like chicken fillets. I then added some leftover vinaigrette that I found in the fridge when I was cleaning it today (by the way...bad yogurt is just plain stinky). The chicken hung out on the counter for a while. I did some other things...like dressed my dog's newly injured foot. I have no idea what it is that she did, but it was pretty gross in between the big pad and the little ones. She was sure that licking it was the solution to her problems. Nay-nay little one! Here comes MamaVet with her bottle of blue stuff, cotton balls, gauze, boo-boo juice, an old sock and some masking tape. She would call the folks at PITA if she could manage the phone.

Back to my dinner! Chicken is doing it's thing. Check. I then chopped up a chunk of an English cucumber (those English really know how to grow a vegetable), sliced some cherry tomatoes in half, added some chopped red onion (tons of tears were shed...the dog thought that they were for her), sliced a few green olives and added some low fat crumbled feta cheese. Athenos was the brand and I swear that I'll never go back to the full fat stuff again...it was THAT yummy. The dressing...juice of one lemon and the zest as well, about half as much EVOO, tablespoon of oregano, sea salt, pepper and just a couple of shakes of thyme. I put all of those things in a little Tupperware and shook the bejesus out of it. I then poured about a tablespoon of the dressing over my salad and tossed. Now it was the salads turn to hang out. Chicken was drained and simply done in my heavy skillet on medium. Some fresh pepper...five minutes on each side. Done.

This meal was so fresh tasting. Bright. Verdant <--learned that word from Rachael Ray. It was so good that I lost myself and bit my bottom lip. Did it slow me down? Only for a second.

Delish! HOFF is the way to go.
