So today's meal was quite interesting. First off, it took a LOT longer to prep than a lot of the meals I've made before. That said, I feel like this was a next step in a little more complex cooking.
Okay, so real results...
1) BE CAREFUL (Courtney sliced her finger while peeling the potatoes badly).
2) I screwed up on how I cooked the carrots a bit (didn't boil first), but at least they still worked. Although the potatoes tasted amazing in the butter, the carrots really didn't gain too much. Perhaps try a different way in the future.
3) Although I will probably have a heart attack in a year, those potatoes were AMAZING. I put plenty of pepper on them, at that really made it taste really great, nice kick.
4) The Chicken was really interesting.... It was difficult to put the filling in (filling btw was REALLY great...chives were really good in it). I think i needed to work it in more (difficult because it got stuck on my fingers). But i was surprised by the fact that it was difficult to distribute when i ate it the filling w/ the chicken. Also, based upon the pictures, i probably needed to really coat it in flour more to get that look from the initial picture. And lastly, the chicken took FOREVER to cook. Apparently, I wasn't careful about the size of my chicken breasts (they were bigger than the 6 oz they called for in the recipe). So my potatoes and carrots were done way early and the chicken required another 15 minutes in the oven.
Overall the meal went really well, it is something that will impress people if I cook it (i think/hope), but I could have been MUCH better at executing.
