Bier Meister Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 for a few months now we have been dividing the cooking duties....each plan and cook for the week. it's rough (flexible) but has been working. i usually cook anyway, but at leat she has some things ready to go. so wife finds a recipe and i alter it.... turned out very good. 4-6 chicken thighs about 4 oz sliced crimini about 2-3 shallots (sliced) 3-4 slices of pancetta 4 oz chicken broth 4 oz white wine ( i used a cali chard and it was fine) italian seasonings - a fw shakes 2 oz balsamic dice pancetta (1/4 inch). render and crisp in pan or skillet. set aside. season chicken with s&p. sear (brown both sides). set aside. saute mushrooms and shallots. i acutally covered them for 4-5 minutes then sauted for 4 min. add broth and wine. bring to boil. add chicken back to pan. cover and cook for about 30 min (just want it simmering). when chicken is done, put it aside covered. in the pan, add the balsamic and herbs. reduce to thicken. s&p to taste. serve-> pour over chicken then hit it with the pancetta. we did it with pilaf tonight, but i think a roasted red potato with herbs would have have been great with it..... 12-20 red potatoes 1/2 stick of butter (melted) herbs of you choice or lawry's or old bay quarter potatoes. place in pot with salted cold water. bring to a boil. cook until they are about 70% done (you want them to hold their form). strain and cool just enough to handle. toss in large bowl with butter and herbs. lay out on sheet tray (cookie tray) roast at 425 until golden and crispy. i have also used these when doing fondue. had it with one of my favorite blends: CMS (hedge) 64% sauv blanc, 33% chard, 3 % marsanne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seattle LawDawg Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 Had a bottle of three vineyards red mountain tonight. Hedges has always been one of our go-to places on Red Mt. They make some solid QPR blends (CMS, 3 Vineyards) but rarely put out a strict varietal which is interesting, because when they do, they usually do it well. They used to have a tasting room in Issaquah right across the gym I went to. There were more than a few days when the car seemed to steer itself into that parking lot instead of the gym's. I may have to swing by the Red Mt location when I go to Walla Walla in May. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
untateve Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 I made this tonight. It was an overwhelming success and tasted quite good. In addition, it was relatively easy, which is good for a week-night meal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
