Lemon patties

 

 "Put grated crumbs of 1/2 a stale loaf of bread in basin. Pour over it 1/4 pint boiling milk. When cold, mix in grated peel of 1 lemon, 2 well beaten eggs, 1/8 pound butter beaten to a cream. Sweeten to taste with powdered sugar. Butter some small cups, fill with mixture, and bake 20 minutes in moderate oven. Turn patties on hot dish. Serve with wine sauce."

I can't find a direct reference to this, but here is a blog post that sums it up in a more savory way. Others I find to have grated chicken in it. Who knows?

4. Add lemon and rind and blend thoroughly.
5. In another bowl, whip the cream, add a pinch of salt, and fold into the egg mixture.

Barby's Lemon Broccoli Chicken

My mother in law is awesome, incredibly helpful, amazing with the kids, a retired nurse and a lactation consultant all wrapped up into one amazing Mom. She originally gave me this recipe during my bridal shower, but the best story I have of it came a couple of years later, after the birth of our daughter, the Pickle in the Middle. Barby made this dish one of the first nights I was home and it is probably the reason I quickly discovered that dear daughter had colic! Yummy in the tummy, but not necessarily tummy friendly for a nursing infant! :)

Ingredients
1 Tablespoon vegetable oil
2 whole chicken breasts; split, skinned and boned
1 can cream of broccoli soup
1/4 cup milk
2 Teaspoons lemon juice
1/8 teaspoon pepper
4 thin lemon slices
1 package frozen broccoli, cooked according to directions.

Process

1. In a skillet, heat the oil.
2. Cook the chicken in oil until browned on both sides.
3. Spoon off fat.
4. Combine soup and milk, stir in lemon juice and pepper.
5. Pour over chicken.
6. Top each chicken piece with lemon slice.
7. Reduce heat to low.
8. Cover and simmer 5 minutes, or until chicken is fork tender, stirring occasionally.
9. Serve with broccoli on top.
