chicken

The joy of chicken leg quarters! Versatile, tasty, inexpensive. Tonight, I decided on a spring blanquette-style stew. Browned the chicken, added in a sliced onion, several carrots, a bag of frozen peas, and some garlic. Deglazed with white wine, added some stock. At the end of cooking, added a bit of cream, and then a beurre manie to thicken. Served with brown rice. Yum. Easy, tasty, about 45 minutes to prep and cook. It's nice to be able to just pull these things together, sans recipe -- it keeps things interesting.
