Project: Creamy Lemon Chicken with Asparagus

This weekend, I was looking for something to eat. I came across 2 chicken breasts leftover from the Chicken Pillows. Then, I remembered that I got Philadelphia Lemon and Herbs Cooking Cream Cheese when I bought the groceries. 

Recipe Number 1:

So I thought of making Creamy Lemon Chicken. Here are the ingredients that you will need:

2 Chicken Breasts, cut into strips

1/2 Cup Flour

Seasoning (Salt, Pepper, and Garlic Salt)

Oil for sautèing 

1/2 Cup Philadelphia Lemon and Herbs Cream Cheese

*Capers (optional)\

*milk/water (optional for cream cheese)

Procedure:

1. Season the strips of chicken with the seasoning.

2. Dust the strips with flour

3. In a pan with some oil, on medium heat, sautè the chicken strips until brown.

4. Put the Philadelphia Lemon and Herbs Cream Cheese in the pan and cook in low heat.

5. The cream will thicken, if you want a more watery mixture, you can put milk or water.

6. ** Put the capers in.**

7. Let it cool and serve with mashed potatoes/rice/pasta.

The Verdict:

This recipe was a bit too creamy for me. So it would be good to serve it over something. The chicken was yummy, but the creaminess of the cream cheese was a bit overpowering since I did not eat with pasta or rice. It was good with mashed potatoes, but this dish would be better off on top of pasta or rice.

Recipe Number 2: 

I am a big fan of asparagus. I never used to eat vegetables but this made me see how much I was missing. I LOVE THIS RECIPE. My friend made this and I adapted her recipe but made some changes to it. My version might not be that healthy, but it sure tastes good!

YUMMY ASPARAGUS:

1 Bundle of Fresh Asparagus

1/4 Cup of I Can't Believe It's Not Butter Spray

Salt

Pepper

Garlic Salt

Mrs. Dash Original Seasoning

Mrs. Dash Table Blend Seasoning

Half of a small lemon

Procedure:

1. Cook the asparagus. (I usually steam them. If they have thick stems, I steam them for 5 minutes. If they have thin stems, I steam them for 3 1/2 minutes.)

2. Put them in a container and spread the I Can't Believe It's Not Butter into the asparagus. I usually spray mine with it until it is covered.

3. Season with Salt, Pepper, Garlic Salt, Mrs. Dash Seasonings.

4. Squeeze the half of a small lemon over it and serve.

The Verdict:

The asparagus will have tangy, salty, and yummy taste. I usually serve this whenever I make steaks, but it is good with schnitzel and everything else. I can eat this everyday if not for the nuclear pee that usually follows after eating this. LOL.
