Easy comfort food
May. 5th, 2009 11:47 pmSerious Eats posted a recipe for Lemon Chicken with Rice today and it sort of fit with the ingredients I had on hand and the general theory of what I was planning on doing with them, so I gave it a go.
Verdict? Very nom. Definitely comfort food, but I think throwing even more veggies in with the rice would make it a lighter dish. Recipe follows, with a few comments.
Serves 4, took me a little under an hour working from frozen chicken breasts. The sauce is thinner than a gravy - Serious Eats describes it as "soupy," which is unfortunately unappetizing but does give you an idea of what you're aiming for. The recipe makes a LOT of sauce; if you don't want a lot, you could almost certainly halve the recipe. Part of what's nom about this though is serving it hot in a bowl and letting it mix all together, so, *shrugs*.
