Are you caught up with Oscar Buzz? I don’t care much who wins what this year; there are so many worthy, talented contenders. I just enjoy the hoopla.

Maybe you, too, want to have a quiet night at home, with no distractions, to enjoy the show? Maybe you, too, want to spend as little time as possible fussing over dinner? In three Jittery minutes you can prepare this main course, Maple Dijon Chicken, leaving you oodles of time for stargazing.

Kudos to Miriam – The Overtime Cook, who sparked my interest in Maple Dijon Chicken. The Jittery version takes less work, less fat and less salt.
