captain_slinkyIt only takes a fistful of victories in the kitchen to spark my Chef's Pride. The success/popularity of my Tomato Basil Zucchini Soup at the catering gig, when combined with my Crockpot Porkchop Gamble and, now, my Fancy Chicken Thigh Lunch? I'm ready to get serious about cooking fancy meals for my family again :)
Chicken Thighs that I whipped-up for lunch today were PERFECT, and I blame it all on the Emeril Lagasse 12-Inch Stainless-Steel-N-Brass frying pan I found t The Goodwill Outlet! Olive oil in the hot pan, then put the thighs (which had been seasoned with minced garlic and seasoning salt) in the pan skin-side down and covered for about 8 minutes. Uncovered, flipped over and removed the whole pan from the burner so the thighs could have extra heat while resting for 20 minutes. Then I removed the chicken from the pan, returned the pan to heat, deglazed the pan with plain old water and then added a quarter-cup of heavy cream. Whisked till the stuff in the pan was reduced to a thin gravy and poured it over the crispy chicken OMG I'M STILL DROOLING!!!
Wonder what I'll make for dinner tonight?
