40-clove chicken
Sep. 13th, 2009 06:49 pmSo I must tell you all about what I made for dinner tonight: 40-clove garlic chicken, roasted vegetables, toasted bread and broccoli. The centrepiece is a bit of a heartstopper but, really, it's not that bad, no added fat except the extra-lite olive oil, and boy oh boy, was this delicious.
( roast veges )
( chicken )
I prepared the vegetables first and popped them in the oven, then the chicken. Plan to take the chicken out of the oven ten minutes before you serve the meal, and put thick slices of good french or artisan bread on the oven racks to toast while you carve the chicken and steam broccoli (although actually, this would be better with a salad, it's just that we finally killed the Jesus broccoli today.) (Um, it was the second coming of broccoli to these particular planets.) Then you drizzle the chicken with reduced juices from the pan and squeeze the garlic cloves over the bread which is just, ugh, to DIE.
good things about this meal: vegetarians and vegans hate it, but it's good for most other intolerances depending on what vegetables you use (i.e. I wouldn't use potatoes cooking for my friend - though FTR, the recipe called for serving the chicken with rice, I just think that's weird). No casein or lactose, no gluten or wheat or grains, no soy. Obviously, though, you need to like garlic.
