Golden Chicken

Golden Chicken, Braised Greens & Potato Gratin

Friday, 4th January 2013

And we're off ... 

It took me and my crack team of one (Son) around 40 minutes to make this, but we didn't get any of the pans out in advance and we definitely didn't rush.  Pretty reasonable, I reckon. Especially bearing in mind that there was plenty of chat and general bossing-each-other-around going on.

Would definitely make this again, especially the potato gratin and the veggies.

We don't usually pan fry food and husband commented that the meal was a bit rich. The rest of us disagreed. (Husband has had man flu so perhaps his judgement is also under par at the moment?)  Daughter (10) said it was a great family meal.  Not bad going considering it contained spinach, which has rarely (knowingly) passed their lips before.

We're cooking with an Aga.  I reckon it makes things easier - we can hold stuff that's cooked without it drying out and it takes the pressure off with the timings.  

Forgot to photograph the finished product before we started eating, but here's a snap shot of the potatoes (albeit a little depleted).  Yummy!
