BRAISED CHICKEN BREASTS ON TOASTED ENGLISH MUFFINS WITH VEGETABLE MIREPOIX, TOASTED PINE NUTS AND A ZUCCHINI, SUMMER SQUASH AND ONION MEDLEY
Steps:
- Wash and pat dry chicken breasts, season with salt and pepper and sear in a frying pan with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Remove from pan and set aside. Drain the oil from pan.
- Using the same frying pan add 1 tablespoon olive oil and saute celery, diced onion and carrot. Cook through allowing the flavors to meld. Return the seared chicken breasts to the pan and add the chicken stock and the white wine. Bring the liquid to a simmer and cover. Simmer until the chicken breasts are cooked through, about 20 minutes. Remove the lid and reduce the liquid until it is not so brothy. Season with salt and pepper.
- While the chicken is cooking, toast the English muffins and set aside. Toast the pine nuts in 1 tablespoon of olive oil and season with salt.
- Saute the remaining sliced onion, squash and zucchini, allowing for some browning. Stir gently while seasoning with salt, pepper and oregano. Continue cooking until squash is slightly browned and the onion is translucent.
- Remove the chicken breasts from the pan and place on the individual dinner plates. Take the toasted English muffins and soak up some of the pan juices. Using the chicken breast as a "lean to", place it so it faces the front of the plate. Add the sauteed zucchini mixture to the plate and cover the breast and the muffin with the vegetable mirepoix. Garnish with toasted pine nuts.

Tips:
- Use a high-quality onion: The type of onion you use will greatly impact the flavor of your muffins. Choose a sweet onion, such as a Vidalia or Walla Walla, for a milder flavor. If you prefer a more pungent onion flavor, use a yellow or white onion.
- Caramelize the onions: Caramelizing the onions brings out their natural sweetness and adds a delicious depth of flavor to the muffins. To caramelize the onions, cook them over low heat in a little butter or oil until they are soft and golden brown.
- Use a combination of flours: Using a combination of all-purpose flour and whole wheat flour gives the muffins a more complex flavor and texture. Whole wheat flour also adds fiber and nutrients to the muffins.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the muffins tough. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined.
- Bake the muffins at a high temperature: Baking the muffins at a high temperature helps them to rise quickly and evenly. This results in a light and fluffy muffin.
