Made the shallow fried chicken Picatta last night for the family and it was a HUGE success! Very quick and easy to make and everyone raved about it all night – thank you. Excellent for a dinner party so you don’t spend the who night it in the kitchen!
I served it with the Mesclun Salad with pine nut-berry dressing – I used blueberries which worked very well as they are not too sweet. I also made a few garlic fried potatoes too; my own little addition to the menu.
Today I am going to try the mango pudding – will let you know how it goes…
Hi James,
