It's time to make a plan... register, request a ballot, check your polling place and be sure and vote early.
These are certainly interesting times, so it means you must plan ahead. Take nothing for granted, this is your right and duty. Vote for Science over fiction, Hope over fear and Truth over lies.
We're here to help everyone realize the dream of a "chicken in every pot", a cocktail to enjoy for your efforts and a celebratory playlist to get out the vote. It looks to be an interesting and wild ride.
Get Up, Stand Up... The Pots Are On!
The Plate...
Herb Roasted Chicken/Creamy White Wine Sauce
Ok, after a hard day of standing in line to vote, you deserve a great comforting meal. This one is easy, a regular one-pot wonder. It is creamy, rich and wonderful.
What you need...
3 lbs of chicken thighs (bone-in, skin-on)
1 tbsp olive oil
Salt and pepper
Italian Seasoning
2 tbsp butter
1 medium onion diced
3-4 garlic cloves chopped
4 thyme sprigs
1 tbsp flour
1/2 cup of white wine
1 cup chicken stock
1/2 cup heavy cream
What you do...
Preheat oven to 400 F.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Season chicken with salt, pepper and Italian seasoning.
Cook chicken thighs on medium-high, skin side down first to brown (4-5 minutes).
Flip and cook on the next side for 4 minutes.
Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Add 2 tbsp butter to the skillet and saute until the onion is browned, 3-4 minutes.
Add chopped garlic, thyme and 1 tbsp of Italian seasoning and cook for about 1 more minute.
Next add 1 tbsp of flour and cook for another minute.
Add the wine slowly to the hot pan and increase from medium-high heat to high.
Cook for 2-3 minutes.
Now add the chicken stock and cream to the skillet.
Stir to combine and reduce for about 5 minutes.
Return the chicken thighs back into the skillet with the sauce.
Put in the oven, uncovered and cook at 400 F for 35 minutes.
Take out of the oven, sprinkle with fresh thyme and serve with roasted veggies, mash potatoes or rice.
