Diva Cooking 101

Divas cook gorgeous things that are fabulous enough to share with friends and family. They just don't cook much. Every diva needs a few, easy signature dishes to get by. Are you a diva cook?

Divas cook while listening to Billie Holiday, Muddy Waters, or the Rolling Stones.

Divas cook while sipping Champagne, Chardonnay, or a martini.

Divas cook with a feather boa draped around their shoulders.

While cooking, divas nibble gin-soaked olives or Champagne-saturated strawberries.

Divas cook while wearing an apron that says, "Tomorrow is another Chardonnay."

A diva's favorite breakfast is last night's appetizers.

Divas don't stress over particular amounts in any recipe. Glugs, plops, and handfuls are accurate enough.

Divas can cook with boas because diva recipes do not require many steps. Still, the food is fabulous.

Chicken with Goat Cheese

This is a pretty great dish with minimal effort.  Goat cheese always adds a touch of elegance to any entree.  That and a bottle of wine that costs more than $10.  And since I'm an Irish diva whose man is a potato head, orzo is a welcome respite from the spud!

Chicken with Goat Cheese

1/3 cup olive oil

3 pinches parsley

2 pinches crushed red pepper

3 heaping spoonfuls goat cheese

4 boneless chicken breasts, split horizontally or smashed flat

orzo, cooked

Mix the olive oil, parsley, pepper, and goat cheese in a pretty bowl; set aside.
Season chicken with salt and pepper.
Cook chicken in olive oil until cooked through, 2-3 minutes per side.
Serve with orzo topped with goat cheese mix.

Make it a meal:  Serve with steamed broccoli unless you consider parsley a green vegetable.  Depending on how much time I want to put into dinner, sometimes I do.

Wine:  Chardonnay at any price
