{Twin Cities Moms Blog has partnered with Target and Unilever for this sponsored post in support of Feeding America. Melissa knows a good recipe when she sees one and this is a great one to try out!}
When this recipe was handed over to me, I have to be honest, I was skeptical. How can such few ingredients and such little time yield something my family will enjoy? I knew it was a quickie so I saved it for a crazy schedule day at our house. I vowed to not even step foot in the kitchen until my husband sent his daily “on way” text that evening (typing that makes me feel like we are borderline elderly…so much for spontaneity!).
Most days, dinner has been in the works for quite some time when he texts and if it hasn’t been I thank the heavens for my convection oven. He walks in the door greeted by my screaming 3-year-old daughter who is so happy to see him you’d think she was greeting Dora and myself, forking over a quick kiss immediately followed by handing over our baby boy so I can focus on dinner and get it on the table.
So on this day, at 5:30, I headed into the kitchen to begin dinner. And 27 minutes later, as my husband walked in the door, dinner was ON THE TABLE. Yes, folks, on the table, waiting. I’m talking the table set, food plated, drinks filled, kids buckled in and bellied up kind of on the table. So, this recipe right here? For sure winning material. I served it over a bed of mixed greens and cherry tomatoes and it made an awesome warm salad. The hot chicken wilted the greens just slightly and the crispy, gooey topping made for the perfect dressing. 4 itty bitty ingredients, 20 minutes and happy bellies all around in this house. Its already been added to our monthly meal rotation.
