There is something to be said for Sunday Chicken Dinner. Maybe a bit of nostalgia, a childhood memory.... who knows. At the suggestion of my friend Martha (and due to an imposed dietary regime) this week's "Sunday with Julia" left me a little fixated with a simpler time - my childhood and Sunday dinners at my grandparents' house.
There were only ever two things on the menu. Flat iron steaks with mushroon pan gravy and peas OR - chicken dinner.
I decided against the full bird today. I just refuse to pay 3.99/lb for carcass when I can have .99/lb quarters (I like the dark meat anyways).
Having inherited a bush of rosemary this past week, roasted veggies seemed the logical choice to accompany my chicken.
Winner winner chicken dinner! LOL! Bon Appetite!
Looks delicious, Rachel!! Love the golden brown color of the chicken (and I, too, am a dark meat girl!). The veggies look roasted to perfection as well. What's your secret there? I always get my too brown/over roasted. Maybe my oven's too hot?
ReplyDeleteOh, and I shouldn't have clicked the picture to make it bigger. I now have drool on my keyboard! LOL!
YUMMY...simple but oh so good : )
ReplyDeleteMartha, I really need my oven t-stat recalibrated. It was set at 375 but the t-stat I have hanging in the oven to read "real temp" was reading 425 the whole time. My veggies were a little past as roasted as I would usually like, but still yummy.
ReplyDeleteLOOKS TRULY YUMMY.
ReplyDeletel LOVE THE DARK MEAT TOO. WHITE IS TOO DRY FOR ME
