Tonight's dinner was delicious! We made Baked Garlic Parmesan Chicken following a recipe from Momswhothink.com and a take on The Pioneer Woman's Crash Hot Potatoes.
First up: Baked Garlic Parmesan Chicken
Ingredients:
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
1 package Italian dressing mix
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
chicken breasts - we actually ended up using frozen chicken tenderloins
Directions:
First, preheat oven to 400 degrees. Mix cheese, dressing mix and garlic powder into bowl. Coat chicken breasts with mixture (The original recipe recommends using water to bind the mixture to the chicken. Egg would also work). Bake 20-25 minutes or until chicken is fully cooked.
Next up: Mashed-Baked Potatoes
Ingredients:
red potatoes, quantity is your choice
olive oil
garlic salt
pepper
fresh chives, chopped
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add in as many potatoes as you'd like and cook until they are tender. Coat a sheet pan with olive oil. Once potatoes are tender, place on sheet pan and mash. Brush the tops of the potatoes with olive oil then sprinkle with garlic salt, pepper and chives. Bake 20-25 minutes.
The original recipe called for rosemary, but also advises an herb can be used according to your tastes. Next time we make this, we'll probably want to soften the chives by putting them into olive oil and microwaving them for 10 seconds or so. This time round they became dried. I didn't mind the text, but T said he prefers them more soft. Also, instead of mashing each potato into individual potato cakes, we simply mashed them to cover the sheet pan. Next time, we'll mash the potatoes more and mix the ingredients more to create a more flavorful side dish.
Overall, our dinner was delicious!
