So last weekend I just had to go home, I couldn't stand the school pressure anymore! So Thursday saw me driving up 95 and Friday saw me at the grocery dragging along poor boyfriend and apparently planning to feed an army. The butternut squash lasagna is not worth mentioning, probably the most depressing failure of my life, the blackberry rasberry pie was magnificent, I'm quite proud, the asparagus pasta was just thrown together like everyday mundane food, but the BEST RECIPE EVER was discovered. Yup, thats right the best thing I've ever done with chicken or any other food and it was EASY AND CHEAP, what? pigs are flying you say? Well just check this mess out. There I was Inocently and halfheartedly browsing along cooks.com and this happens:
Mediteranean Chicken
1 lb chicken breasts or thighs (I used a bigger pot and about 2 lbs but it didn't change anything)
1 small can black olives
1 jar roasted red peppers
1 can mushrooms (or fresh)
1 box frozen artichoke hearts or 2 cans canned artichoke (didn't even know it existed but the frozen was really good and way cheaper than the canned)
1 package sun dried tomatoes 1 1/2 cup Ken's Italian Marinade dressing or Ceasar Dressing (used ceasar, didn't measure :) )
Don't even bother to drain this stuff, just dump it all in a huge pan or crock pot and let it go for at least two hours, adjust heat according to how long you want it to be, I put it on low for about 4 hours and it was fine, amazingly flavorful and one of few ways to make sure your chicken isn't dry! When you serve it you can use a slotted spoon and have lots of yummy chicken and veggies (the picture does not do the veggies justice) or eat it like soup, it is absolutely amazing and even healthy! It does not get better people! I'm actually thinking about adding baby corn or rice or practically anything would be good in this. I know I'm gushing but get this, it was so good that Levi wants me to make it for his Birthday dinner! huge deal! fantastic chicken! All other news pales in comparison, I don't even remember what I was going to write about, probably complaints and self-praise about the ridiculous amount of homework I have and how I've managed to stay on top of it all, thus the extra time for blogging. OH and Dr Who is back! I, the most devoted of David Tennent fans was a little aprehensive about Matt but I gotta say, the Doctor is still the Doctor so props to that and I like this Amy Pond girl, but the whole romance thing is getting a bit stale but we shall see. For those of you who have no idea what I'm talking about check it out. Well thats all, but exciting changes are comming to the blog, maybe a bit of spring cleaning, so get excited!
