you can really use any kind!

I have done it with both chicken breast and airline chicken breast ( drum on)

the lemon and olive oil mixture really tenderizes the chicken.

that will be perfect , just remember to cook them separate from the sauce alot of people make the mistake of trying to encorporate it in the sauce cooking or drop them in the prepared sauce raw . it gets tossed in cooked with the pasta.

Panko "fried" chicken (really shake and bake, basically, except I broiled which was a mistake, I think. Should have baked). It was so good... perfectly juicy like the best fried chicken.

Also psuedo-elotes. Just used the mix from trader joe's, sour cream, and frozen corn.

I invented something. 2 zucchini cut into half moons, 3 bacon slices cut into small peices, a shallot chopped, about 10 heirloom cherry tomatos cut into halfs, and 3 garlic cloves minced. Fried in olive oil, then add salt, peppercorns grinded roughly, and grated ginger.

Light taste, and pretty healthy.

I suppose this isn't strictly baking/cooking, but I set up 3 jars of strawberry rhubarb vodka. I recently opened the one I made last summer, and it was amazingly good. I threw it together at the time as an experiment, not expecting much, but now I will make some every year when the rhubarb comes in season. The fruits removed after "steeping" for nearly a year are good in baked items, so I will be baking after all, with those tomorrow.

Blueberry lemon muffins, i had a photo of an old recipe and extracted and copied the text so because it's ai it's not perfect, but good enough to get the gist. I followed this recipe and threw in the zest of a lemon with the blue berries

Yesterday I was trying to get rid of a few old bananas and couldn't find my loaf pan, so I made banana muffins instead, into which I mixed chopped-up Dove dark chocolate mini's since I didn't have any chocolate chips. The results were fairly decent, although I need to experiment a bit more with the cooking time and mix.
