of course i'm still fairly picky when i eat, which limits my palate. i wish the taste of raw onion didn't gag me, that mustard didn't kill the taste of a dish, or that i liked more than i do...but, 15 years ago i didn't really care for basil, chickpeas, bell peppers, or weird cheeses. so i've come a long way.
the oven has been on the fritz for a while and given my current economic situation coupled with my brother's odd schedule, we haven't had the time to get it repaired. so, i've become very creative with a stovetop, crockpot, the george foreman, and the toaster oven - so....it works.
tuesday i roasted yellow and red bell pepper on the george foreman. they charred up nicely and then i popped them in a plastic baggie for steaming the skins to make them easy to peel.
as they were steaming - i tossed a chicken breast on the grill, seasoned with a bit of dale's. oops - dale's is an alabama thing so - just season the breast with a light bit of seasoning to brown it - worcestershire, soy, whatever floats your boat and makes your mouth go 'yummy'.
slice the chicken into sandwich like slices. remove the skins from the bell pepper. if you have a bit of pesto - even yummier. take a nice sandwich roll and a cheese of choice - goat cheese with this would be soooo yummy (today though, I used up the last bit of swiss cheese).
stack up your sandwich the way you would like it and then press the sandwich in the george foreman to meld these yummy ingredients together. heaven!
yummm... and healthy too!
ReplyDeletelooks delish!
ReplyDeleteThat is so yummy...
ReplyDeleteI agree with developing the tastes for certain food later in life. Maybe as we grow older, our taste buds mature as well.
i'm kind of hungry now.
ReplyDeleteYum! Time for lunch!
ReplyDeleteOh YUM..I ADORE roasted pepper- that dish sounds scrumptious- I'll have to try it, thanks! I made rammen noodle salad for dinner tonight and if I can ever get off the computer I'm going to get some..hahaha..too many blogs to read and not enough time!!! Have a great night!!
ReplyDeleteOOO that looks amazing and now I'm hungry.
ReplyDeleteoh yummmy. roast red pepper is so great with pasta. : )
ReplyDeleteAnother use for my George, that rarely gets used. Thanks for this yummy idea!
ReplyDeletelooks good! i'm a picky eater too.
ReplyDeleteyou are a picky eater?? noooo, say it isn't true : ) congrats for coming so far! this looks heavenly.
ReplyDeletewhen i was out of a oven, i fell in love with the electric skillet. : )
Love, love, love roasted bell peppers, though not too fond of the green as he is not as sweet.
ReplyDelete:-)
Your sandwich looks yummy!
(((hugs))),
love,
me
it is amazing what you do with out an oven...saves on heating up the house too!
ReplyDeleteyou kill me with your food skills....seriously, from someone who doesn't like to cook...tries and fails miserably in the kitchen....okay, yes, I'm totally whining while wishing I could come up with and make the great things you do.....YUM !!!!
ReplyDeleteyumm. making me hungry at this hour. sounds like you're pretty creative in the kitchen.
ReplyDeletelooking soooo good! i could eat it right now withot any hesitation :D (as it is already 1 am) :D
ReplyDeleteOh Yum! That looks so good.
ReplyDeleteWe call bell peppers capsicum in Australia.
I don't like onion either. :)
Char, if you keep writing about delectable food recipes I am gonna have to stop dropping by. You inspire me to head for the kitchen -- and I have already eaten. And those pictures that go along with the post .... YUM!
ReplyDeleteoh my god that sandwich looks delicious.
ReplyDeletei just had dinner but now i'm hungry again! if i had anything like that in my kitchen i'd so be eating again!
ReplyDeleteThat looks yummy. I have wanted to try that with peppers. I used to hate any kind of pepper there was, including black pepper but a few years ago tried a sliced sweet red bell pepper dipped in ranch dip and that was all she wrote. I totally changed my tastes. It was the same for any kind of melon until I had a good honeydew. Your tastes die and new ones are born which I think happens to our changes in tastes.
ReplyDeleteCooking and I have had a tenuous relationship over the years. But all of a sudden I want to learn to cook, and am looking at things I've never used before. I will say, curry powder is good, but not in the amount some recipes call for! Chicken and pineapple..with a kick!
ReplyDeletelooks great.
ReplyDeletethe one thing i have not been able to appreciate still is shellfish. i love all kinds of fish and stuff like octopus and squid. but not shell fish. makes me gag.
yum roasted bell peppers, I also love semi sun dried tomatoes on a grilled chicken sandwich.
ReplyDeleteI need one of those sandwich presses...it does look like HEAVEN!
ReplyDeleteMaking me hungry!!!!
Char
Dude! I wish that's what I was having for lunch today :D
ReplyDeleteOh man, my mouth is watering!
ReplyDeleteOh. OH MY! So. hungry. now.
ReplyDeleteGee, thanks.
That sounds SO delicious!
ReplyDeleteThis looks so yummy!...and you make it sound so easy...I never thought of making roasted peppers on the Foreman grill but it's a great idea!...Sounds to me like you do eat lots of things...if you like goat cheese you can't be too fussy!
ReplyDeleteThat looks delicious! you even photograph food beautifully!!!
ReplyDeleteHope all is well with you!
ENJOY!
