I made a delicious dinner tonight. My kids ate every bite, even the salad. I doubled the mushrooms and sauteed them before adding them to the chicken. I also added more cheese. I served it with rice and bread.

Mushroom and Swiss Chicken
Prep Time: 25 Minutes
Cook Time: 45 Minutes Ready In: 1 Hour 10 Minutes
Yields: 4 servings
"Cajun seasoning and garlic add lots of zest to chicken baked with Swiss cheese and mushrooms."
INGREDIENTS:
4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
2 cloves crushed garlic
3 tablespoons olive oil
3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon Cajun-style seasoning
1 cup chopped green onion
1 (8 ounce) package sliced fresh mushrooms
4 slices Swiss cheese
DIRECTIONS:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2. Combine oil and garlic in a 9x13 inch baking dish. Add chicken breasts and coat well with the oil and garlic. Sprinkle with the vinegar and Cajun seasoning.
3. Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 30 minutes.
**4. Remove chicken from oven and cover with green onion and mushrooms; then add a few more sprinkles of oil and vinegar and return dish to oven for 15 to 20 minutes more. Remove from oven and immediately place 1 slice of cheese on top of each chicken breast; cheese will melt. Serve immediately.
**I added the cheese after I put on the green onion and mushrooms and baked it as well.

Or be stared at.
I haven't done any real cooking in quite some time. God only knows when I will again.
Maybe I need to start getting engagements in places where the cooks are. And having good old-fashioned home cooked food like this.
Something to think about...
:)

It takes more energy than I have today. As much as I enjoy cooking, right now beans & franks are about all I can muster.
It wasn't a dig at you. It sounds wonderful.

It really didn't take too much effort. I wasn't feeling all that well yesterday either, I had a headache and felt really odd, like I was coming down from a huge caffeine high. I still managed to get it done but I don't know how bad you feel so I wont push you. :-*
I think there is something going around by the way, I thought it was a hangover saturday and into sunday but several of my friends have also gotten sick in the last few days. It lasts about 48 hours. Diarrhea, vomiting, dizzy, in general a bad hangover feeling. As I laid in bed all day saturday I thought to myself, no way I drank enough to make me feel this bad. Now I think I had what my friends have/had.

I generally stay healthy because I do not go out in public much. You can't catch a germ if you're not where they are to be caught. That's not why I don't go out much. That's just one of the side effects.
Then....
I spent all day Saturday going from one garage sale to the next in my daughter's little hamlet. There were hundreds of garages open for business. They do this as a community twice a year. It was a lot of fun and we found some great stuff. I had some great BBQ too.
But, alas, I subjected myself to other humans. No telling what I brought home I could not see.
