Tired of Making Dinner

When Paulo and I were hanging together I pretty much made dinner every night. At some point I stopped. I just ran out of things to make. Last week in the dentist chair I came across a recipe for Caramelized Black Perpper Chicken '98 from Food & Wine Mag and made it for dinner.
1/2 cup dark brown sugar
3TB fish sauce
1/4 water
3 TB rice vinegar
1 teaspoon garlic
fresh ginger
1 ts ground pepper
2 Thai chilies
1 TB canola oil
1 shallot thinly sliced
1 lb chicken breast
cilantro

I had most of the ingredients and Paulo has this aversion to cilantro. It was actually quite good. But I'm off the whole cooking thing. We eat a lot of pasta and salad.
