Hubby made dinner!

This never happens. I mean, ok he sometimes makes the occasional tacos or grilled cheese, but a full blown dinner with a RECIPE....never.
When we bought our new Nissan Rogue I told him we had to cut back on the "Patty is sick of cooking lets order out" nights, and he would have to help me out. Well, he stuck to his word and made an amazing meal this week.
We got the new Food Network Magazine and the cover recipe looked outstanding. So Paul took it and made it!
The house smelled amazing. The food deslicious. And my husband totally proud of himself.

Pea-Prosciutto Sauce
we served over 4 cheese raviolis.

Directions
Cook 4 ounces chopped prosciutto in a skillet with 2 tablespoons olive oil over medium heat until crisp, 4 minutes. Stir in 3 sliced garlic cloves and 1 tablespoon tomato paste; cook 1 minute. Ladle in 1 cup pasta-cooking water and simmer until reduced by half, 4 minutes. Add 1/4 cup heavy cream and simmer until thickened, 3 minutes. Toss with 1 pound cooked ravioli, 1 cup blanched frozen peas and some chopped parsley. Top with grated parmesan.

Southern Style "Fried" Oven Chicken

My husband was getting jealous that i was making all these great dishes and he had to clean up after me (hehe) so last night, he took it upon himself to pick out a recipe and make it all by himself. I was pretty impressed!


Southern Style "Fried" Chicken

WW Points: 4 per breast
for an extra kick add some hot sauce to the buttermilk.

1/2 teaspoon all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
3 ounces fat free buttermilk
3/4 cups cornflake crumbs
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, (i cut into tender style)
4 teaspoons canola oil

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
Lightly coat a cookie sheet with nonstick cooking spray; set aside.
Combine flour, salt and cayenne pepper together in a medium-size bowl.
Place buttermilk and corn flakes crumbs in 2 separate shallow bowls.
Roll chicken breast halves in flour mixture and evenly coat each side. Next dip chicken into buttermilk and then cornflake crumbs.
Place coated chicken breasts on cookie sheet, and drizzle oil over all chicken.
Bake 30 minutes, flip and bake another 10-15 minutes.
