Menu
Peach was out of town this week so we kept things simple - roasted chicken, pilaf, & salad with homemade chocolate chip cookies 🍪
Roast Chicken
We followed J. Kenji’s technique of lathering the chicken in mayo before roasting. We also added a homemade chimichurri to the mayo for some herbal notes 🌿
Salad
This could not have been more simple - butter lettuce, gem lettuce, and a Dijon red wine vinaigrette.
Rice Pilaf
Rice + shallot + garlic + bay leaf cooked in chicken broth with some pine nuts added at the end. Such an easy and simple way to serve boring rice.
Chocolate Chip Cookies
I made my favorite Smitten Kitchen recipe - no bringing butter to room temperature, no overnight in the fridge (unless you want to). I recorded the whole thing and made a lil’ home movie 🎥
