Brown Butter Crispy Onion Chicken
There’s something special about brown butter that makes everything it touches delicious.
If you don’t know how to make brown butter, here is an excellent tutorial on buzzfeed.
This chicken dish starts out by browning the chicken on the stovetop and finishing in the oven. I recommend cooking chicken breasts this way. The seared outside keeps the inside juicy when baked.

Crispy fried onions are easy to make. Dip onions in salt and pepper seasoned flour then deep fry. You can also buy bagged versions in most store salad dressing aisles.

    Smoky Salmon Chowder

    Smoky Salmon Chowder serves layers of smoky goodness from bacon and smoked paprika.

    Smoky Salmon Chowder

    This time of year I especially love soups, stews and chowders. I relish the warm, silky smooth texture of pureed tomato bisque sipped from my favorite mug. Chicken Noodle Soup is on hand during flu season. It is easy on the tummy and the aroma wafting up your nose jump starts your appetite and maybe it helps open your sinuses too.
    Sometimes I’m in the mood for something more hearty and full-bodied in my bowl. These times I turn to more complex flavors like seafood with layers of smoky goodness from bacon and smoked paprika.

    Fresh Salmon pairs well with those smoky undertones. Salmon’s flavor also blends well with milk. I keep the mirepoix on the crisp side and par-cook the potatoes.
    All this takes about 30 minutes start to finish. Sound good? I think so too.

    • 1/2 cup diced celery
    • 1/2 cup diced onion

    • 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
    • 1/4 teaspoon anchovy paste
    • 4 slices pre-cooked bacon, chopped
    • 1/2 cup milk

    Serve with warm crusty bread. Delicious!

    *If you like your soup more salty, add more anchovy paste to taste.
