I have a serious sweet tooth! I indulge my sweet tooth a little too often. To combat my often failing will power, I make this tasty, healthy Mediterranean skillet supper.
This skillet supper is made with ground chicken, tomatoes, oregano and marjoram. Have you used marjoram in your cooking yet? It's similar to oregano and works well in tomato sauce. The people of the Mediterranean have been using it for centuries to season everything from kebabs to vegetable dishes. Give it a try, you'll be glad you did. If you don't like oregano and marjoram, this would be great with basil too. My only suggestion would be to use good quality tomato products. Pomi or Muir Glen brands are my go-to choices.
The other day, I bought a bunch of fire-engine-red chili peppers at the farmers' market, falling in love with their feisty color. They're sitting on my kitchen counter like a bouquet of fresh flowers. One of them is added to this dish, but you could leave it out if you don't like spicy food.
I make this dish after indulging in too many cream puffs, lobster tails(a pastry) and cannolis in Boston's North End. If you're ever in Boston, go to Modern Pastry for the best cannoli in the city. They fill their cannoli pastry shells to order with pillow-soft cream. Expect a huge line. It moves quickly. They're worth the wait.
