Tonight for dinner I'm making chicken in lemon-butter sauce (française) and roasted garlic mashed potatoes, a side salad, and Vouvray.
Except my husband grabbed the Bordeaux instead of the Vouvray.
For the mashed potatoes:
- about 1/2-3/4 cup chicken broth/olive oil/chicken "juices" from frying pan skillet
- probably 3 lbs of potatoes, mostly peeled
- About 15 cloves roasted garlic
- About 1/4 cup heavy whipping cream
- 3 tablespoons butter
- About 1/4 cup sour cream
- greens
- shredded carrots
- raisins
- cashews
- zesty sprouts
- Ranch for him and child, red wine mist for her
- About 1.25 pounds boneless, skinless chicken tenderloin (from the discount pile: $3)
- lemon juice
- extra virgin olive oil
- butter
- unbleached white flour
- four color organic peppercorns
- chicken broth
Reserve juice in skillet into cooked potatoes for the mashed.
In the skillet, add about three tablespoons butter and about the same amount of lemon juice. Slowly bring to a boil, stirring often. Pour oven chicken and serve.
This looks to be a good guide on mashed potatoes:
