Today I made:
Skillet Rosemary Chicken, Food Network Magazine May 2010
Today we ate the Charlotte Russe cake! We meant to have it with G's lab, but no one was there, so we celebrated his birthday with my lab instead. They seemed to appreciate it. The chocolate flavor was a little subtle. People seemed to like the graham cracker crust. The cake definitely did set up, contrary to most of the reviews! So that was nice. I feel successful.
For dinner we had this skillet chicken. The chicken is cooked on the stove for a bit and also in the oven. The potatoes are boiled for a bit and also cooked in the oven. When I poured lemon juice over the top shortly before moving it into the oven, it set the fire alarm off :-P
G liked this. To me it tasted and smelled like pot roast, even though it's chicken instead of pork or beef or whatever pot roasts normally are. It was pretty good, although our skillet is too small. We used only two chicken breasts (because magazines always say things like "four chicken breasts, 1 lb" or something and then 1 lb is like 2 chicken breasts at the store. Maybe they weigh them incorrectly), which was already erring on the side of too much for our skillet, but wasn't that much food (since we save half for lunch). We probably could've just eaten it all for dinner-- it would just be one chicken breast and one potato each, and some salty, salty mushrooms. It has crazy good reviews (172 of them), but to me it was just ok.
