It doesn't really need anything to go with it but I'm obsessed with roasting vegetables and had some brussel sprouts in need of cooking so I coated them in olive oil, sprinkled with salt and roasted at 400° for about 20 minutes. Sweet and salty and crispy. I tell you if you haven't tried roasting vegetables you're missing out on a flavor bonanza!
A little white wine is good too. I'm loving Chateau Ste. Michelle Gewurztraminer. Crisp and light and good with so many different foods.
I think this is my husband's favorite French Friday recipe to date. He just couldn't stop talking about it...and it was perfect for lunch the next day. He said its like chicken pot pie without the pie. He's right.
The other French Friday cooks have great pictures and opinions! Go visit them French Friday with Dorie!
I love the Chateau St. Michell Gewurztraminer. Their Riesling is delicious too. This recipe is definitely a keeper for me too.
ReplyDeleteThis is a keeper and is one of the favorites in our house too! I love that you included the brussel sprouts, I felt like I could have used one more veggie with dinner. Happy French Friday! PS, what setting do you use to blur your background - I'm still working on that rather unsuccessfully....
ReplyDeleteI have brussel sprouts sitting in my fridge from a recipe that I decided I didn't feel like making. A simple roast job may be just the thing! Glad this was a hit. Gewurztraminer is deeeelicious. It seems closer to a German Riesling than the sweet, syrupy stuff we get here in the states.
ReplyDeleteI am with you on the white wine ;). Glad this was a hit at your place.
ReplyDeleteWhat an appropriate description, "Chicken Pot Pie without the Pie"! The chicken is so juicy it doesn't need any accompaniment.
ReplyDeleteChicken pot roast is a perfect description. Glad it was a hit!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful picture--there's not a thing on there (including the wine) that doesn't look luscious.
ReplyDeleteYour husband characterized this perfectly. It is chicken pot pie without the pie. This recipe is definitely a keeper. This would have been good with Brussels sprouts. I have some in the fridge. The chicken's gone, but I think I'll make them this weekend.
ReplyDeleteMy husband did the same, Lola. :) Adding the brussels sprouts was a great idea to get some greens on the plate. I am going to look for your white wine recommendation. It sounds so good.
ReplyDeleteHello. Yes, I can spell my name only the "i" on my keyboard keeps sticking. ;)
ReplyDeleteWow- "like chicken pot pie without the crust"....now that it is a pretty darn good endorsement :) Of course the crust is my favorite part so I guess I was not destined to love this one. So nice to hear how much it was enjoyed in your house - while it is always fun to try something new, it is even more gratifying to know we pleased the ones we love.
ReplyDeleteOurs made a very good lunch the next day too! Roasted Brussels sound like a wonderful side dish for the chicken! :)
ReplyDeleteI think no skin looks better than pale skin...good idea! And your plate looks fabulous...especially with those lovely Brussels sprouts. I think this one ranked pretty high with my hubby, too~
ReplyDeleteLola, I love roasted veggies...I sometimes sprinkle a little balsamic vinegar over my roasted brussels sprouts just before I take them out of the oven...yum! Your chicken looks so delicious. I agree this was one of the best dishes we've done. Have a nice weekend!
ReplyDeleteWe loved this meal. This is definitely a keeper for us. How can you not love a meal that tastes so good while requiring so little effort?!
ReplyDeleteYour husband really came up with the perfect description of this dish, didn't he? And why did it take us all so many years to discover how delicious roasted vegetables are? I would have eaten so many more as a kid had my mother roasted them instead of boiling them to death.
ReplyDeleteChicken pot pie without the pie is a perfect description. Your plate of food looks wonderful and I love that you made more veges. Veges at our house are the best part. I've not tried roasting the Brussel sprouts...thanks for the tip.
ReplyDeleteThe brussels sprouts are just the green this dish needed! Bravo.
ReplyDeleteIt was a huge hit in my house too. The brussel sprouts look amazing!
ReplyDeleteYour chicken looks divine! Love that you had Brussels sprouts as a side as well.
ReplyDeleteYour plate looks beautiful! I've been making those roasted brussel sprouts almost once a week - I just love them :-)
ReplyDeletebeautiful photo & delicious looking meal!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photo! I am also obsessed with roasted veggies and brussel sprouts are one of our favorite!
