This recipe adapted from Food Network, with just a few changes to the original: used butter instead of olive oil, preheating oven to 375 degrees instead of 350 to lock the juice of the chicken, threw in extra ingredients as usual. Its method of pan-frying the chicken first then roasting it in the oven made the chicken so tender and juicy. It’s one of most tender chicken breast ever made at my home.

My co-worker is a really good cook that owned a Malaysian restaurant before. She knew that I am interested to learn authentic Malaysian dishes, so she made me extra peanut satay sauce from her catering and taught me what ingredients to use for marinating the meat. Along with a recipe from my Malaysian cookbook, there’s the adapted version:

It’s time to pick some thyme from the aerogarden.
Because I am using organic chicken breast, I want to use all natural yet simple seasoning for the chicken. It’s my first time ever buying organic meat. The skin is thinner which leads to less oil. Thus baking time needs to be 5 minutes shorter for juicy yet crispy chicken. I asked my husband if he can taste any difference (of organic chicken).. well, not his tastebud.
Good-for-you organic meal along with side dishes:

Sour cream is expiring in one day. I have to really change my habit of ignoring unused items until I realize it’s just a couple days BEFORE expiry.
I recalled I had followed an internet recipe a few years ago about dipping chicken thigh into plain yogurt then coat with breadcrumbs mixed with dried herbs. I cannot find the same recipe, thus just throw in whatever may match the chicken thighs.
It turned out pretty good: it’s spontaneously cooking, so I won’t bother to guess the measurement of ingredients I used.
