Chicken with Mushrooms & Peas, Plus Squash
October 18, 2009
Thursday night I made Chicken with Mushrooms & Peas. I got the seasoning right this time, but I used too small of a pan to cook it all and so the veggies were a little wet. Still, the mushrooms and peas could stand up to the slight sogginess, and it was a very welcome dinner on a chilly, rainy day. I served it with carnival squash from my CSA (similar to acorn squash) — halved and roasted cut-side down at the same time as the chicken.
I sliced up some of the chicken breast in the kitchen so that the boys could have it plain — I thought if they saw the chicken covered in the vegetables they’d immediately get turned off. After some initial complaint, A. tasted a piece and then couldn’t stop exclaiming how delicious it was. He also threw in a few “I love you, Mom”s for good measure. (Heaven!) G. was more reluctant to taste it, but J. surprised us all by arriving home early, and was able to gently coax him into eating a few bites along with some challah.
