Cajun pasta – My take

Cajun Pasta with Panko breaded chicken

To make this dish I used air chilled chicken breast.

Using cooking wine I made me Cajun sauce for this dish.

I choose to put my own spin on Cajun pasta because I thought having breaded chicken on the pasta would give it that texture and flavor it needed. Reminded me of the spaghetti with breaded chicken my husband would order from The Cheesecake Factory. So, this dish was inspired from that moment he ordered that dish.

Now you can follow recipes, but I enjoy putting my own spin on specific dishes to elevate them and give them a new texture and taste. The white wine just took it over the top. ❤️

Betting on yourself

Recently I applied for Chopped! Yes, Chopped! A lot of times it’s the people you don’t know that support you more often than the ones you thought would. SO I decided in this year 2022, I will take more risks, explore food more and take a chance on me. Support or no support.

Will you bet on yourself? Will you go that extra mile? Do you have enough faith to do something you would never do?

What is your biggest challenge in the kitchen?

I bet when reading this question it really makes you think. Doesn’t it?

It even made me think. It made me think because there can be so many different challenges to choose from. But the take away is what is your BIGGEST challenge?

Here are some examples:

  1. Lack of storage
  2. Cluttered space
  3. Lighting
  4. kitchen issues (clogged sinks, poor counter spacing, etc)

There are so many different things. I mean I can go on and on. So, I’d have to say my biggest challenge would be poor counter spacing. When I cook in the kitchen I like to be able to move around, groove, turn around without feeling like I am being backed into a corner or like I am going to run into something.

We all have different challenges. For instance some may be lack of energy or time, not knowing what you want to cook, or one thing I don’t really look so forward to, is cleaning. This week lets think about some of our challenges and how we can relieve ourselves of the stress from this challenge and how we can make it less challenging!
