Anywayyyyyy.... around 3:30 I decided that I needed to at least get out of bed and TRY to do something... and I chose cooking dinner as that something. I had stumbled across a recipe for lemon chicken with croutons last week when I was spending a lot of quality time surfing the net (at the time I thought I was really being unproductive, but I have realized that this is MUCH better than watching daytime television... at least I learned something from blog reading) and I thought it sounded pretty good. You can see the recipe for yourself here.I picked up a chicken, some lemons and some french bread yesterday when I was at SuperTarget-so I knew I had all the stuff to make this. It was SO easy to make. Not something I can normally make when I'm working because I would have to be home early enough in the afternoon to roast it (took about an hour and a half total- and when I'm working- I need dinners to be able to be prepared in 30 minutes or less) but for my stay at home mom friends out there OR for a Sunday dinner, it's quick, easy and so YUMMY!
Here's a picture just before I took it to the table.
One of my biggest frustrations recently is that I have been trying new recipes and it seems like usually only one or two people out of our family of four likes it... but I am so happy to say that everyone at my house liked this dish. I kept some of the croutons out (without the pan drippings on them- because that is 'just gross Mom') for Colin, but other than that one little accomodation... it was devoured by everyone at the table.
I even took the little bit of leftover chicken and made it into some chicken salad for Joe's lunch tomorrow...
That's all for me folks... cooking dinner (as easy as it was!) took it all out of me... so I'm off for some rest. Have a great evening..
