Hello!
This recipe calls for boneless chicken legs....
So I for the first time in my life boned out chicken legs. I thank the lord for utube because otherwise I would have made it a bigger disaster than it was. I did however manage to get 4 decent pieces. The recipe calls for 6 but I was not running out to purchase 2 chicken legs with a starving 8 year old.
The recipe is pretty straight forward and I managed to get the chicken stuffed wrapped and poached. I then had to saute the chicken until the bacon was brown and crispy...
This is where all hell broke loose. The bacon stuck to the pan even though I had the correct amount of olive oil and when I went to turn it, well lets just say I served a pork and pistachio stuffed chicken with bacon on the side.
It tasted fabulous but definitely did NOT look pretty.
I also decided to be adventurous and make the "Ultimate Ceasar Salad" found in "Gordon Ramsay Kitchen Heaven" pg. 18.
He would have thrown me out of his kitchen and told me I was a useless ****up. I have no idea what went wrong, it is just a salad after all but neither my daughter or I could bare taking a second bite. Into the bin it went without a second thought and only slight profanity, in my head, over the disastrous salad.
The great success tonight thank heavens was the Hot Chocolate Fondants (pg.220 of Makes it Easy). Truth be told I have made this before so I have it down. When I asked my little one what dessert would make up for such a disaster of a dinner this was the request. I could not deny her, after all chocolate does make us all feel better.
If you try these out let me know if you manage to get the bacon to stay on the chicken!
Happy Eating!
