Doug has decided that he doesn't like grading the dinners. He says it takes away from his enjoyment from the meal. So, it's just Noelle and I grading from now on. Not a big loss...Doug's grades were always pretty boring anyway :)
Indonesian Honey Garlic Chicken
recipe from: http://littlespicejar.com/indonesian-honey-garlic-chicken/
I get a lot of recipes off pinterest and this is one of them. I really like this woman's blog. She has great photos...something that I could really work on. But, like I said, I like to keep my photos real. I can't believe that normal people really serve dinners that look that picture perfect on a regular basis...or maybe mine are just unusually bad looking?
Either way, this is a simple dinner. I changed a couple things from the recipe:
- I made it with chicken breasts instead of thighs. It was fine, but the thighs would have given it more flavor, more juiciness, and would have been cheaper.
- I didn't bake the chicken. Instead, I just cut the breasts into thin slices and made them in the pan. I think this would've made a difference if I used the thighs, but since I used breasts without skin, I don't think it mattered.
Grades:
Megan - C (There was nothing really wrong with this meal except that I might have over-cooked the chicken a little. I just am not that into eating chicken breasts. I prefer my chicken to be shredded or cut up and mixed into something like a taco or pasta.)
Noelle -B+ (Noelle seemed to like the chicken. I tried a new technique...I feel like she doesn't eat food as much when I serve it to her all cut up [because many times it doesn't look very appetizing all cut and smashed up into little pieces. Tonight I tried serving her the whole chicken breast and cutting it in front of her. I think it worked...for tonight at least.)
