Two In A Row!

I had no intentions of posting another food post so soon, but I hit the ball out of the park again tonight!  That. Never. Happens.  I make a great dinner, then the next night an okay dinner, then the next night an edible dinner, and so on.  The fact that I made two in a row, needed to be commemorated.  The fact that I used no recipe, just my own skilz, also needed to be recorded for posterity.

Drumroll, please...

Cause it is just that good.

I might be a little impressed with myself.  (I meant that in a self confident way, not arrogant way.)

Here it is:  Carrie's Garlic Herbed Chicken

How I made it:

I put some olive oil in a pan, and seared the chicken breast for about 2 minutes (or until it just starts to brown), each side.  Sidebar:  I learned this searing-before-baking trick at Canyon Ranch.  In my personal experience, it prevents dry, cardboard chicken 87% of the time.

Then I transferred the chicken to a small ceramic dish with a lid.  

I coated the top with minced garlic, and sprinkled in some fresh rosemary, thyme, and parsley.  

Then I poured in some white wine.  Put the lid on and stuck it in the oven at 350 for about 40 minutes.

When the chicken was just about finished, I stir-fried the remainder of my asparagus lest it go bad this week.

Let me tell you, it was super yummy.  

It was awesome and very low cal as I made it.  I can imagine this being even better in these ways:  

1.  Butter.  'nuff said.

2. Serve chicken over linguini

3. Turn left over wine and herbs into some type of cream sauce.  (This is beyond the scope of my skilz.)

Hope this gives you an idea if you are looking for something new to try.
