I've been wanting to get over to the gourmet grocery store for a long time and today it finally happened. I had in my mind exactly what I wanted to get; they have awesome stuffed chicken fillets and I've been craving them. I bought two different kinds so Tom and I could share, one was filled with spices and goat cheese, the other one had pesto, sun dried tomatoes and feta. I also bought some super cute baby carrots and broccoli to roast. And wouldn't you know it, the best part of the meal was the stuff I made? The chicken was just all right, I was so bummed. My carrots turned out great so I want to share them with you. These were so flavorful that both Tom and I ate all of our veggies before even touching our chicken. Next time I'll make my own chicken and forgo the gourmet market.

Before the oven
After cooking. I love how the colors are still so bold, you
don't get that with boiling veggies!
Look how gorgeous this plates up!!
I did score something else at the store, a hydroponically grown basil plant.
Isn't it cute? You place it in a small amount of water and
keep it on the counter for use.
Enjoy!
boy, roasting makes a world of difference when it comes to particular veggies, and broccoli is one of those veggies. the carrots make a nice partner, both in color contrast and flavor! :)
ReplyDeleteGrace I must agree, roasting makes all the difference. :)
