o&y.

It was another full day of DC tourism and we lucked out with the weather. Olivia and Yuri are being spoiled...they haven't experienced severe heat or overwhelming waves of tourist groups and segway tours. We enjoyed another great day in DC with a leisurely lunch out and a walk down to the MLK memorial as well as the Lincoln memorial. Having guests in town is such a good reminder of all the reasons I do love living in this city.
You know what else made it a great day? The first meal of the summer season on my roof! I am including the recipe below for this chicken dish that Ben sent my way. Great dish for the next time you need something quick and easy, I recommend it!
Skinless Boneless Chicken Breasts
1-2 lemons (I know Yuri can eat lemon)
White Wine
Flour
  • Put each chicken breast between plastic wrap and pund them thin with a heavy pan. 1/4 inch thick.
  • Salt and pepper both sides of the chicken.
  • Put flour on a plate and salt and pepper the flour.
  • Put the chicken in the flour and get a light coat of the flour on the breasts.
  • Heat a large skillet on medium/high heat. Add Olive oil--two tablespoons plus one tablesppon of butter.
  • When pan is hot enough, put the chicken in the pan. About 2-3 minutes on one side. Flip it over.
  • After 2 minutes on the second side, add white wine about a 1/4 of a cup and juice from a half of lemon.
  • Let that cook over the medium/high heat with the chicken in the pan for about 30 seconds or so.
  • Add a tablespoon of butter.
  • Put the chicken breasts on the plate and pour pan sauce over the chicken.
