When the weather turns coo, we’re looking for warm, comforting food and for me, it’s anything I can tuck in a slow cooker on a Sunday morning when I’m just doing stuff around the house. This past weekend, with plenty of chicken cutlets, oranges and lemons and onions, it was game on for a simple one that of course I had to tweak.
This original recipe below called for a few ingredients that I just didn’t have in the pantry, but no big deal. Left out the oregano and cumin and added a little more OJ. It turned out beautifully and since I used cutlets instead of whole breasts, didn’t take long to cook at all.
Add to the an easy roasted sweet potatoes and I have extra meals all ready to go. I’m ready to hit the fresh market again this weekend see what I can create next. What’s on your menu? Let me know and send to those pics to me at ann.kelly@cmg.com. Life is so much better when it comes from Ann Kelly’s Kitchen!
