Simple, 1-skillet chicken breast dinner evokes summer in Provence

Sunny southern France, known for swaying fields of purple lavender buds, also is flush with all manner of aromatic herbs. Tarragon, fennel, savory, sage, marjoram, parsley, rosemary, thyme, mint, oregano and more grow wild.Any combination of them can make up the dried seasoning blend called herbes de Provence, a one-stroke flavor booster that evokes Mediterranean summer — and was introduced to Americans in the 1970s by Julia Child.We use it to great effect with bone-in chicken breast in this simple skillet dinner from our book “Tuesday Nights Mediterranean,” which features weeknight-friendly meals from the region. Before searing just the skin side of the chicken, we toss the blend with garlic, onion, bell pepper, tomatoes, zucchini and capers. We then sear the chicken and nestle it into the vegetables to roast in a 475℉ oven.Deglazing the pan with half a cup of dry vermouth is ideal for creating a sauce out of the flavorful browned bits left in the pan after searing the chicken.

LAS VEGAS, Nevada (KVVU) — About 30 animals, including some very valuable snakes, worth at least $10,000 total, WERE stolen from Wild Things specialized pet store in Las Vegas early Saturday morning.“They took the money from the cash register. They used a hammer and literally smashed through our tanks, grabbed the animals,” said Wild Things co-owner Stephanie Tracy.“Aru Green Tree Pythons, a male and a female, about 3.5 to 4 feet. They stole the Emerald Tree Boa that had been here for over a year,” said Tracy while surveying the damage Saturday. “And to shatter the glass, that’s just pure maliciousness because all they had to do was unlock it.”Around 4:45 a.m. Saturday, surveillance cameras inside the store caught a person smashing through the tanks and shoving the snakes into a bag.“And they’re particularly mean, so it’s really surprising that that’s what he took was mean animals, so it’s somebody who really knew their way around the animals and knew exactly what they were go...

LONDON — A Labour government under Keir Starmer will “fix the holes in Boris Johnson’s Brexit deal,” including on electric vehicles, the party’s trade chief said Tuesday, promising to mend ties with the U.K.’s largest trade partner.While Labour “will not go back into the EU or rejoin the customs union or restore freedom of movement,” the party’s Shadow Trade Secretary Nick Thomas-Symonds told business leaders at the Trade Unlocked conference in Birmingham that it “would work to reset our trading relationships.”“That has to include fixing holes in the TCA,” he added, referring to the EU-U.K. Trade and Cooperation Agreement.Prime Minister Rishi Sunak’s government is “putting our car manufacturers at risk,” Thomas-Symonds told POLITICO, and “very urgently” needs to address a mechanism in the Brexit deal taking effect at the end of the year that could impose 10 percent tariffs on electric vehicles traded with the EU.  “We’re in an urgent situation,” Thomas-Symonds said, emphas...

The blockbuster 2023 NBA draft will kick off in New York City on Thursday night — and as of today, the Chicago Bulls will not have a single pick.The Bulls traded away the bulk of their draft stock in recent years, which could lead to an anticlimactic draft night. If the team doesn’t make a move to secure a draft pick, this will be the first time the franchise hasn’t participated in the NBA draft since 2005.Here’s how the Bulls got to this point.1. Where did the picks go this year?The Bulls could have had three picks in the 2023 draft — one first-rounder and two second-rounders. But all three picks have been ceded — either in trades or as a penalty — leaving the Bulls without a stake in the current action.When the Bulls traded with the Orlando Magic for center Nikola Vučević in 2021, they included a protected first-round draft pick in the package that ultimately fell to this year.
