Chef Ana's Perspective

Chef's Notes

For this Sugar Land, TX menu, I would put Garlic Salmon Bites with Avocado Dip early in the week's meal plan and freeze any Balsamic Chicken Thighs with Peaches & Cherry Tomatoes intended for later. Refrigerated cooked salmon and chicken should be eaten within 3–4 days. Keep the avocado dip cold and separate when warming the salmon.

I would reheat Balsamic Chicken Thighs with Peaches & Cherry Tomatoes covered at 350°F, checking a single portion after 15 minutes and continuing until the center is hot. For Lemon Garlic Blanched Green Beans, start with 60 seconds in the microwave in a covered, vented dish, then stir and check before adding more time. Warm only the portion you plan to eat so the remaining beans avoid another heating cycle.

The fruit takes two different roles in my Balsamic Chicken Thighs with Peaches & Cherry Tomatoes and Plum, Romaine, Cucumber & Basil Salad with Peach Vinaigrette. The chicken has softened peach wedges among glossy tomatoes, while the salad keeps distinct plum wedges, cucumber rounds and basil over romaine. I would add the peach vinaigrette only to the salad portion being served, keeping the remaining leaves out of the dressing.
