Garlic and Lemon Chicken in White Wine Broth

Tired of eating out? Ever wished that you could cook up a meal for a party of 2 quickly after a long day at work? This might just be the dish for you.

Chicken breasts, one of the easiest protein to work with. Its lean, its filling and cooked the right way, it's actually very very tasty.

Joanna and I just love garlic in our dishes. Soon, you will realized that most of our dishes have garlic in them.

This dish is a simple and wholesome meal that is quick to whip up and delicious. It is a dish that have most of our favourite ingredients all on one plate. The gravy is there not only to infuse into the chicken breasts, making them tender and juicy, but it is so flavourful on its own, you could finish a whole loaf of bread with it.

Here's the recipe below.

Fresh Salmon Poke

Jo and I stumbled upon Salmon Poke (pronounce as Poh-Kay) during our trip in San Francisco a few years ago. We had it at Basa Seafood Express, a compact seafood market/restaurant. We tried 3 different servings of poke there. The original salmon poke, the tuna spoke and the spicy salmon poke.

They were amazing and we were completely blown away. It's definitely not any fancy restaurant but the poke served in a small plastic tray just hit the right note. This is one of the many examples that food does not need to be overly complex at times, simple is good enough.

We got out hands on some sashimi grade salmon via a closed group buy in the neighbourhood. According to the group, the salmon can only be keep taken raw within the first 3 days after bringing them home. We prepared a few days prior to receiving the fish.

A breakdown of the recipes is as described below:

WELCOME TO PHARMA'S KITCHEN

Welcome to Pharma’s Kitchen.

What started in 2016 as a simple space to share recipes has grown alongside my life. Now based in Melbourne, cooking as a husband and dad, with a toddler running around the kitchen.

I’m a pharmacist by profession, but food has always been my way to slow down, connect, and care for the people around me. These days, that means creating meals that are practical, nourishing, and realistic for busy family life, without losing the joy of cooking.

Here, you’ll find recipes we actually cook at home: quick weeknight meals, toddler-friendly dishes, and the occasional “treat ourselves” recipes when time allows. Influenced by my Southeast Asian roots and shaped by life in Australia, the food here is simple, honest, and made to be shared.

More than anything, Pharma’s Kitchen is about bringing cooking back into everyday life, even in the busiest seasons. Because good food doesn’t have to be complicated, and the kitchen can still be the heart of the home.
