Tarragon Chicken.

Ingredients (serves 2)
2 Chicken Breasts
1 tablespoon of Dry Tarragon
Beer can (any lager, Heineken, Budweiser, etc)
1 cube of chicken bouillon 
Heavy cream
Minced garlic
1 teaspoon of flour or cornstarch
S & P


Directions
1. Preheat oven at 350. In an 8x8 pyrex combine beer, chicken bouillon, tarragon, minced garlic and S&P. Whisk to combine, then add the chicken breasts. Cook in the oven for 30-35 min (depends on the size of the breasts.)
At this stage, your pirex should look like this:

2. Set breasts aside after cooking, transfer the remaining broth into a small pot. Dissolve one teaspoon of cornstarch in half a cup of heavy cream (this will help to thicken the sauce). Add that mix and another half a cup of cream into the pot. Let it come to a boil and simmer for about 6-8 minutes until desired consistency (if you like your sauce thicker, you can add a little more cornstarch but dissolve it first, otherwise you will get lumps). Adjust S&P.


3. Transfer the breasts back to the sauce, coat them, and serve with sweet pea rice or your choice of side.


4. Enjoy!

Blackened salmon, seared scallops, grilled asparagus.

Ingredients (serves 2)
Salmon fillets (2)
Scallops (big if possible)
Asparagus
Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Shaved parmesan cheese
Blackened rub
Paprika (1 tablespoon)
Garlic Powder (1 tablespoon)
Onion Powder (1 tablespoon)
Chili Powder (1/2 tablespoon)

Directions
1. Cover the fillets with the rub. Let rest for 10 min. In a medium hot pan, put some olive oil and cook fillets 4-5 min per side. 


2. In a high heat pan, sear the scallops with a little olive oil, only 1 min per side, otherwise they will get tough and rubbery.

Serve with shaved parmesan on top of the asparagus.
