chicken & carrots

oh, but they were so much more!!! i made pan-roasted chicken with rosemary, garlic, and white wine (page 329) with a side of braised carrots with parmesan cheese (page 480 but i forgot the parmasan cheese, so i might have to try them again). what is most interesting about this meal is that i have a strong aversion to cooked carrots. i have to admit that these were scrumptious. i underestimated the cooking time and had our original plans with friends worked out, the timing would have been perfect.....those plans were canceled and the timing was off in terms of eating with the kid. the chicken was very tasty when you really got the juice from the pan. it was a fairly easy meal in terms of ingredients - not many - but did take over an hour for each of the components. it was yummy! it won't be a couple of days until i try something else. we have to throw in tacos or hamburgers in there to make sure we stay somewhat normal and don't get too "foodie" on ourselves. happy eating!
