So, I have a confession, week 8 happened back in February, and I am only blogging it now on Easter Sunday. Poor form, I know. Week 8 was an attempt at Italian meat and 3 veg, with Chicken in Almond Sauce served with steamed garlic potatoes and steamed broccoli. Ok you busted me, meat and 2 veg. It was made for a couple of friends who joined us for dinner.
Let's face it, it's not an overly complicated dish. The chicken is seared and then cooked in the pan with lemon juice and a cover for 20 minutes. You then remove the chicken and in the juices you add almonds, butter, onion and garlic and cook until brown then add the white wine and cook until the wine has evaporated. I probably took the "until the wine has evaporated" a little too seriously and it ended up a little drier than I think it is intended, by that's why I'm an amateur!
On the whole this is an easy way to prepare chicken that it very tasty and combining with your favorite vegetables is a nice meal to serve to friends, but certainly won't knock their socks off. From this week forward I will be using a new system for scoring based on the below catergories and a score out of 10.
- Difficulty Rating - How difficult is the dish to make?
- Time - How long did it take to make?
- Taste - How did it taste?
- Skill - How well did I make it?
So based on this here is my score for week 9...
Difficulty Rating - 5
Time - 5
Taste - 7
Skill - 7
