PIONEER WOMAN COOK BOOK RECIPES

Steps:

• To a bowl or pitcher, add the olive oil and balsami, along with the garlic, parsley, basil, salt, and pepper. Whisk it until it’s emulsified. Place the chicken in a large zipper bag and pour in half the dressing. Seal the bag and set it aside.Halve the tomatoes lengthwise. Trim the ends off the green beans, and place the veggies in a large zipper bag. Pour in the rest of the dressing, then seal the bag and set them aside. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Arrange the chicken and veggies on a sheet pan, leaving the excess marinade behind. Roast in the oven for 25 minutes, shaking the pan once during that time.Variations: • With a few minutes left of cook time, lay slices of fresh mozzarella on each chicken breast. Return them to the oven until melted. • Sprinkle ½ cup shredded Parmesan all over the pan as soon as you remove it from the oven. Let it sit a few minutes before serving.• Serve with crumbled feta cheese all over the top (my favorite way to enjoy this!)

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9 by 9-inch square baking pan.
• In a blender, puree the beans with the oil. Add the eggs, cocoa, sugar, coffee, and vanilla. Melt half the chocolate chips and add to the blender. Blend on medium-high until smooth. In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Add to the blender and pulse until just incorporated. Stir in the remaining chocolate chips. Pour into the prepared pan. Bake until the surface looks somewhat matte around the edges and still a bit shiny in the middle, about 20 minutes. Let cool at least 15 minutes before cutting and removing from the pan. Dust with confectioners' sugar and serve.
