Well this is my first post to my new Food Blog! As we make meals that are worth "talking about" I will share them here!
Saturdays menu item~Honey Baked Chicken and Spinach Risotto. This was my first time making both of these items. We have made risotto many times, but never with the aborio rice that it calls for. Mainly because the grocery store that we shop at did not carry it until now. It defiantly creates more of creamier texture then the standard white or jasmine rice that I usually use. The chicken was wonderful. I was bit worried about the amount of curry that it called for. I don't really care for the smell of curry, but I decided to just go for it~and I am glad I did. It really created a deep flavor without over powering the chicken. I also used stone ground mustard which gave the sauce a little more texture. I cut down on the butter that it called for by a lot- because I made the dish only using 3 chicken breasts. The recipe called for a cooking time of an hour and 15 minutes. Next time I would probably do 1 hour. It wasn't dried out, but it could of been more moist. We rounded out the meal with some roasted asparagus. With a few tweaks we will defiantly make this dish again!--de-lish!!!
