I'm always looking for tasty chicken recipes...basically because it's quick (usually) and cheap. But chicken can get, well, boring. So I needed a fun chicken dish. After several unsuccessful searches, I hit the jackpot. It was a rather unusual, non-cooking site, but the recipe and attached photo were too eye-catching (and tummy-grabbing) to pass by.
I found it on www.kennesawpatch.com, a hub of local news, weather, and goings-on in the town of Kennesaw, GA. (Which is located just north-northwest of Atlanta; if you're still interested in Kennesaw, check them out at www.kennesaw-ga.gov. Maybe I'll give them a visit in the future!) But I digress...
The recipe, submitted by Aaron Sewell, is for the chicken as well as a stuffed potato; I only made the chicken, though, as I had two sides already in mind (sweet corn and green beans).
It's a colorful plate, and I even dressed up the green beans by adding some garlic powder as they cooked, topping them off with slivered almonds.
Usually when I'm in the kitchen, I'll pour a glass of red wine to sip on while I prepare dinner. Tonight, however, since the recipe called for a white wine sauce, I opened a Chardonnay that Mark and I brought back from our Napa Valley honeymoon. (A half-cup for the recipe, and a half-cup for me!) It was a 2009 Regusci, and a perfect addition to the dish. Not only was its aroma appealing, but it made every savory bite of chicken even more flavorful.
Mmmmmm...now that's a winner!
