1/2 c loosely packed parsley leaves
4 (6oz) boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
Salt and pepper

1/2 c Chicken broth
1 c grated Parmesan (I used the kind that come in a jar, not fresh)



Directions:

1. Topping: Place lemon zest, garlic, and parsley in Magic bullet and blend or gather and chop repeatedly until mixture resembles coarse sand. Set aside.
2. Place chicken between 2 sheets of waxed paper, or ziplock bags and pound flat with a mallet. Season with salt and pepper.
3. Melt butter with oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken; cook until browned, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate and cover with foil to keep warm.
4. Pour fat from skillet and add chicken broth. Increase the heat to high and bring to a boil, stiring to pick up browned bits. Boil until liquid has thickened and reduced to 2 TBSP, about 2 minutes.
5. Return chicken to the skillet; top with cheese. Reduce heat to medium and cover. Heat until cheese is melted and chicken is cooked through, 3 minutes. Transfer to plates and drizzle with juices from skillet. Sprinkle with lemon-garlic topping.

I mixed the first 3 ingredients in my Magic Bullet to give it the sand consistency.

Mediterranean Brisket (Slow Cooker)

My husband trusts my cooking so much that he is trying some new things. He avoided the olives a little bit, but loved this recipe so much I had to share! He is such a good judge. I feel like I live with Chef Ramsey! If it passes the Josh test I know I have a winner!

Prep: 5 minutes
Cook: 6 hrs
Serves: 6

**I had a hard time finding a BEEF brisket. There are plenty of corned beef. Ask your meat guy where the beef briskets are located. They did not sell them at our wal-mart, I had to buy it at a grocery store with a meat counter. The good news it is an inexpensive meat!

Ingredients:
1 (14.5 oz) can diced tomatoes with juice
1/2 cup dry red wine (I use the red cooking wine found in the vinegar section)
5 garlic cloves, chopped
1/3 c black olives, pitted and chopped (I bought them chopped)
1/2 tsp. dried rosemary
1 (2 1/2 lb) piece flat-cut brisket
Salt and Pepper
1 TBSP finely chopped fresh parsley

Directions:

1. Place tomatoes, wine, garlic, olives and rosemary in slow cooker and stir to combine. Sprinkle meat with salt and pepper to taste. Place it on top of tomato mixture; spoon half of tomato mixture over meat to cover. Cover and cook on high until fork-tender, 5-6 hours.


2. Slice brisket across grain and transfer to a serving platter. Spoon some sauce over meat and sprinkle with parsely.

** I served it with pasta, green beans, and a Ceasar Salad.
