Actually this is truly an impossible task...the custom made cabinets surrounding the kitchen walls are fully stocked and a separate pantry is also overflowing with goods!
*
Rummaging through this kitchen is almost like going shopping, from the pasta cabinet, to the canned goods, through an amazing spice drawer, to the overly stuffed Subzero fridge and freezer...the possibilities for a meal are endless!!
*

Tonight I settled on a simple pasta dish.
*
Fresh grape tomatoes from the fridge
Fresh garlic from the counter top Garlic Keeper
Canned artichoke hearts from the cupboards
*
Chicken breast from the freezer...
yes, I had some foresight to take them out in the morning before work haha!
*
I browned the chicken in olive oil

*
Added the garlic, fresh tomatoes, artichokes, a can of diced tomatoes (decided during cooking we need more liquid), salt/pepper, garlic powder, oregano, plenty of crushed red pepper for a spicy kick and finished with some quality parmigiano reggiano.
*

Quick, easy, nutritious and 30 minute meal worthy...

*

with a whole bunch of great leftovers!
