BMW Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 Dh has been such a blessing to me the past several days and I would like to make a scrumptous dinner for him!! I can go out to buy items if I don't have them... but I am hoping to use a tray of chicken thighs... This doesn't have to be "fast" or "easy", I want "Wow, that is delicious!" What would you fix? Recipe?? Thanks!!:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Julie in CA Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 Mmm.... chicken marsala with mushrooms--http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/Chicken-Marsala-232152 steamed/sauteed fresh green beans--clean & trim, put in a large pan with just a bit of water, cook covered on high until they're bright green. Pour off any remaining water, then add olive oil, crushed garlic, salt & pepper, and saute on high until they're evenly coated in the oil/seasonings. They should still have a bit of bite to them. potatoes--I like to dice them, boil just until tender, drain, then sprinkle with garlic salt, parsley, a little butter, and lots of pepper, then add a bit of cream, half & half, or milk, and stir just until they're creamy chunks of potatoes. :drool5: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beatusduo Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 Pan roasted Ckn w/ lemon-garlic green beans 6 tbl. olive oil 2 lemons, 1 thinly sliced, 1 juiced 4 cloves garlic, minced 1 tsp. kosher salt 1/2 tsp. freshly ground pepper 3/4 lb. trimmed green beans (I made this last night and used sugar snap peas instead) worked fine. 8 small red potatoes, quartered 4 chicken thighs (or breasts) bone in. (about 3 1/4 lbs.) 1. Preheat oven to 450 2. Coat a large baking dish w/ 1tbl. olive oil. Arrange the lemon slices in a single layer in te bottom of the dish. 3. In a large bowl combine the remaining oil, lemon juice, garlic salt, pepper; add the green beans and toss to coat. Remove beans and arrange them on top of the lemon slices. Add potatoes to the same mixture and toss and coat. Arrange potatoes along the inside edge of the dish. Place ckn in the mixture and coat. Put ckn, skin side up in dish. Pour remaining olive oil on ckn. 4. Roast 50 min. 5. Remove ckn, place bean and potatoes back in oven for 10 min. Serves 4 I usually use recipes as guidelines and don't stick 100 percent to them. So if you need more oil, garlic, pepper to coat, make more. Add more potatoes or ckn if you want to serve more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AK_Mom4 Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 Sticky Chicken Take a jar of apple jelly, a package of dry onion soup mix, and a bottle of the red Catalina dressing. Mix together and pour over chicken thighs. Cover and bake at 350 for an hour. This is awesome in a dutch oven, but works just fine in a large cassarole dish with a lid. Easy and delicious! We like it served with rice, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wapiti Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 :bigear: I'm also looking for recipes for skinless/boneless thighs that the kids will eat - the sort of thing you can make large quantities of, in the oven. Also, I struggle with converting the correct time/temp for boneless thighs from recipes that call for bone-in - any tips?? I tend to end up with rubbery meat.

BMW Posted October 21, 2010 Author Share Posted October 21, 2010 Oh, no! I had my mind all made up and the recipes kept coming! Now I keep changing my mind! I want to make them all today! Which is odd for me, because I really do not like to be in the kitchen... Thanks again!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pippen Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 An oldie from my mom: Melt a stick of butter in a jelly roll pan or other metal baking pan with sides. Dredge chicken in flour that's been seasoned with salt and pepper. Place pieces around the pan. Cut small-ish sized potatoes in half lengthwise and lay them flat side down in between the chicken pieces. Use a lot of potatoes because they pick up the buttery chickeny flavor the family will be fighting over who gets the last one. :) Bake at 350-375 until done. That's it--very simple and very good.

justamouse Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 Duh me! Arroz con pollo!! Make sure you add in the green olives, though, it just doesn't taste the same without. http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/calling-all-cooks/arroz-con-pollo-recipe/index.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6packofun Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 (edited) Mmmm! Thanks. I like the Chicken Paprikash from epicurious: http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/Chicken-Paprikash-with-Sour-Cream-237284 *over Kluski noodles or spaetzle. I add more garlic and double the sweet paprika, too. Edited October 21, 2010 by 6packofun ..., Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We like it served with rice, My dh flipped for this and it was SO easy! I made it by dumping it all in my crock pot on low for about 6 hours. Served over rice I already had made and frozen. I think it would be good over noodles too. And green beans or broccoli - or salad (needs a green on the side). :bigear: I'm also looking for recipes for skinless/boneless thighs that the kids will eat - the sort of thing you can make large quantities of, in the oven. Also, I struggle with converting the correct time/temp for boneless thighs from recipes that call for bone-in - any tips?? I tend to end up with rubbery meat. The first time I made the sticky chicken I used frozen boneless/skinless breasts. The next time I used fresh bone-in thighs. Same each time. With the crock pot you can't really go wrong. Braising in liquid keeps it moist no matter what. Sorry if that doesn't help, I see you said oven. My kids flipped out over it as well.:thumbup: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I keep trying various arroz con pollo recipes and haven't found one that makes me happy. If you vouch for it, I'll try it. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
