Make dinner with four ingredients or less

How many times have you left the grocery store with a car full of groceries only to go home and decide you have nothing to eat for dinner?

You've bought the ingredients to make the recipes you've flagged in your cookbooks, but now you don't have time to make them.

That's why I love the book "4 Ingredients," that came across my desk last week. It's written by two moms who make things as simple as possible. The only measurements required are 1 cup, 1 tablespoon or 1 teaspoon, and each recipe uses just four ingredients or less.

You can read more about it in next week's Scene section. But for now, here's a sample recipe from the book.

Pesto Chicken
4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
1 tablespoon olive oil
3 tablespoons pesto
8 thin slices mozzarella cheese
1. Preheat the broiler. Pound chicken breasts to flatten slightly.
2. Heat oil in a nonstick skillet. Add chicken and saute over medium-high heat until browned on both sides, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a broiler pan.
3. Divide pesto among chicken breasts, spreading almost to the edge. Top with cheese slices, and grill just until the cheese has melted.

OK, you all need to synchronize your print promotion of online content a little more closely. This story about "4-ingredient dinners" is advertised in your print edition this morning, and now I find one recipe and the promise of more in next week's Scene section. It would have been better to promote the story next week when full content is available.
