QUICK COOK RECIPE: Fig Tapenade and Chicken

Even though I love food and love preparing it and love serving, I don't actually always have time to cook. And if I have the time, I don't always have the energy. I think too many people automatically reach for food that is not so tasty and not so healthy in times like these. So, I am going to start posting some "QUICK COOKS". Mind you, many of them involved is not cooked by me but that does not mean they are not healthy or delicious.



I had made a large roasted chicken for supper the night before and obviously we had left overs. So for this night, I just cut the pieces we would eat and brought them up to room temperature. Sliced up tomatoes and drizzeled them with balsamic vinegar and sprinkled a little fleur de sel. then I cut everyone a few slices of a good baguette and spooned out this delicious fig tapenade. This stuff is heaven on earth - figs and black olives sounds odd at first but it is a perfect combination. Then I cut off a small chunk of a good sharp English Farmhouse Cheddar. I never turned the oven on for this meal and it took about 15 minutes to pull togethere, including setting the table and getting the boys in their high chairs.
