Chicken with Creamy Dijon Sauce

September 2, 2011 by Jaida 3 Comments

 

It’s the start of the long Labor Day weekend – are you as excited as I am?!?! I love long weekends, even if I don’t do anything but sit around the house. It’s just nice not having to go to work for an extra day. I do have a few plans this weekend, but I haven’t over-committed myself. This evening I will be driving to San Antonio and staying the night with a girlfriend, JF, her son, Monkey, and their new (giant) bundle of joy, Bella the Great Dane!! Monkey’s birthday is Sunday and he’ll be turning 8. I can’t believe it. It seems like only yesterday I was moving in with them and he was barely a year old, and I spent the next two years helping to take care of him. *Sigh* they really do grow up so fast.

Since I will also be going to a barbecue at my mom’s house on Saturday, I decided it would be fun for us to make cake pops, both for Monkey’s birthday and to take to my mom’s for the nieces and nephew to enjoy as well. I figure JF and I can make the pops together, and if Monkey wants to he can help us put some sprinkles on. But I’m sure he will mostly just want to eat them!

After the barbecue on Saturday I will be making my way home to enjoy the rest of the holiday weekend. I’m sure I will indulge in a bit more baking, but mostly I just hope to relax a bit. What are your Labor Day plans?

To start the weekend off right, I made this simple and delicious creamy chicken dish. It’s not very often that I make chicken with a sauce. Or at least not that comes to mind right now. I’m not sure why, since I actually really love sauce with any meat dish! It was done in a flash and it tasted so, so good!! If you are looking for something easy to make over this long weekend, this dish definitely fits the bill!!

    Can't wait to see you tomorrow. Happy to hear about the cake pops as I am trying to work a Texas Sheet Cake into my crazy cooking and cleaning schedule. The kids are sure to be excited and make them disappear instantly.

Welcome!

As a busy wife and mom who also works a full time job, I try to have dinner done in 30 minutes or less so I can spend more of my evenings with my hubby and baby girl, so what you will find here are recipes that are mostly-healthy, quick and easy. Of course I have desserts, less healthy and more time-intensive meals as well (everything in moderation!), but all-in-all, you can count on weeknight friendly options, all made with love and dished up with a side of life, love, and family!
