MAY RECIPE OF THE MONTH

MARRY ME CHICKEN

Ingredients

  • 1 pound chicken cutlets
  • ¼ teaspoon salt, divided
  • ¼ teaspoon ground pepper, divided
  • ½ cup slivered oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes, plus 1 tablespoon oil from the jar
  • ½ cup finely chopped shallots
  • ½ cup dry white wine
  • ½ cup heavy crea
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Directions

Sprinkle chicken with 1/8 teaspoon each salt and pepper.
Heat sun-dried tomato oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the chicken and cook, turning once, until browned and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 165°F, about 6 minutes total. Transfer to a plate.

Add sun-dried tomatoes and shallots to the pan. Cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Increase heat to high and add wine. Cook, scraping up any browned bits, until the liquid has mostly evaporated, about 2 minutes.

Reduce heat to medium and stir in cream, any accumulated juices from the chicken and the remaining 1/8 teaspoon each salt and pepper; simmer for 2 minutes. Return the chicken to the pan and turn to coat with the sauce. Serve the chicken topped with the sauce and parsley.

MAY MAINTENANCE TIPS

Clean clothes dryer exhaust
Inspect and clean decks
Tune up the lawnmower and fertilize the lawn
Test sprinkler system
Lay mulch around flowerbeds and trees

HOW TO DECLUTTER IN MINUTES

Kitchen

Fill the dishwasher with any dishes sitting in the sink, and clear off countertops. Put any appliances not being used away, and tuck away any items that belong in cupboards. Neatly fold dishtowels for a quick tidiness trick.

Bathrooms

Start by tucking away items on the countertops, and pulling the shower curtain closed to conceal any bathtub clutter. Straighten any open displays, and don't worry about what's behind closed doors.

Entryway

As the first spot you enter in the house, it tends to collect a lot of clutter. It takes only a minute to straighten up the shoes and coats. Pick up and return any items to their rightful places and tuck coats and jackets into the closet or onto coat hooks.

Living Room

Straighten out sofa pillows and refold throw blankets for an immediate tidy look. Pick up any items that don't belong in the living room, such as phone chargers, toys, etc., and return them to the right spot. Browse through any magazines or periodicals and toss out unwanted ones.
