Happy weekend!

HAHAHAHA!! The funny thing is: I don't drink. My husband brews his own beer and just the smell of it -- or of wine -- makes me feel woozy. I swear, it's bizarre. I don't like the taste of alcohol at all. But cooking with it - when the alcohol burns off -- that's fantastic.

I just found this recipe and am thinking of making it tonight, (without the hot chile paste). See picture at link.


Falafel Crusted Chicken With Hummus Slaw

• cooking spray
• 3 skinless, boneless chicken breasts (about 1 1/4 pounds), sliced into 1/4-inch-thick strips
• 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
• 1/2 cup falafel mix
• 2 whole-wheat pitas, halved
• 6 tablespoons hummus
• Grated zest and juice of 1 lemon
• 1/2 teaspoon harissa or other hot chile paste
• 4 cups shredded coleslaw mix
• 6 radishes, halved and thinly sliced
• 1 cup chopped fresh parsley
• Kosher salt

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Set a rack on a rimmed baking sheet and coat with cooking spray. Toss the chicken with the olive oil in a large bowl, then add the falafel mix and toss to coat. Arrange the chicken on the rack and bake until golden and cooked through, about 10 minutes. While the chicken is baking, stack the pita halves and wrap them in foil; warm in the oven, about 5 minutes.

Meanwhile, mix the hummus, lemon zest and juice, harissa and 3 tablespoons water in a large bowl. Remove 2 tablespoons of the hummus sauce and reserve. Add the coleslaw mix, radishes and parsley to the remaining hummus sauce and toss. Season with salt.
Divide the chicken among plates and drizzle with the reserved hummus sauce. Stuff the slaw in the pitas and serve with the chicken.
