Hey all!
Well, let's get this thing started started!! Simply post what you made for dinner!

A few tips-

*Please add as many labels to your post as you think necessary. ex. if you made chicken curry, your labels would be- chicken, curry. This makes it easier for people to search for a specific type of food. (labels are on the right side of your post as you are creating it.)

*Pictures of the dinner are always welcome.

*Please put your review/ thoughts and any tips at the end of each post.

Sweet and Savory Chicken

So I made this one up for dinner tonight.... I'll post how it turned out later.

2 chicken breast on the bone
1 apple
3 carrots
4 ribs celery
olive oil, salt, pepper, stock/water, and pereg spices for meatballs*, and honey

*if you don't have it combine 1 tsp of ginger and cinnamon with 1/2 tsp white pepper and allspice, and 1/4 tsp nutmeg and cloves.

In a dutch oven or heavy pot heat 1-2 tbsp olive oil. Rub chicken with spices and sear on both sides. add vegetables and apple to the pot with enough stock to cover halfway. Drizzle with honey and add salt and pepper to taste. Bring to boil, and then lower flame to simmer for about an hour.

Serve with rice or baked potato. This recipe would also work with other cuts of chicken and in slow cooker.

*** We just finished dinner and the verdict is 8/10. I would add another apple and be really careful about the cooking time cause you don't want to over cook the chicken. It had a really good sweet, but savory taste and the carrots were amazing! Next time I would go with chicken thighs.
