One chicken--2 recipes

First, check out this website called tastespotting.com for pretty pictures of yummy food. My friend Rachel posted it on her blog.

The first combination of recipes makes 2 different dinners. I forgot to take pictures.

The first found from www.cooksillustrated.com (we have a subscription and have found fabulous recipes from this magazine/website).

French Chicken in a Pot


Check out the link to find the easy recipe. Eat it with potatoes and veggies and your done.

***A note on dutch ovens. You don't have spend 100's of $'s on one. Just go to Walmart or somewhere else and buy a 6 or 6.5 qt one made by Lodge (about $50) or Tramontina ($40). CI tested them both against Le Creuset's model (which we bought on eBay). They are both enameled cast iron, thick bottomed and have tight fitting lids. They are really handy to have!***

Then the next night use the leftover chicken meat, leftover broth and perhaps veggies and make this Simple Chicken Pot Pie (also from Cooks Illustrated). I did not add the Sherry, used green onion bcse it was all I had and used a Pilsbury frozen pie crust instead of homemade.
