Dinner Menu and Recipes Needed
Posted on 6/14/09 at 10:06 pm

So I want to cook a special dinner for Tiger4Ever on Wednesday. The requested meat is chicken- everything else is up to me. I am off all day long, so I don't have to rush. I'm in need of some recipe ideas, or just menu ideas. Here are some rules:
1) I'm pregnant, so I can't drink, so don't worry about any wine pairings.
2) He is a meat and potatoes kind of guy. He will eat the following vegetables: corn, green beans, red beans, potatoes.
Please help away!

I'd say Chicken marsala with a side of braised potatoes and steamed green beans...

FWIW Giada has a pretty solid and easy marsala recipe. You could just use this and substitute chicken. For just the 2 of you, you'd probably want to cut this recipe in half as well.
Make sure you have a meat tenderizer if you want to do this bc you'd need to flatten the chicken.
ETA: Forgot the link to the recipe

I think I want to do bone-in chicken or maybe a cornish hen.

cast iron fried chicken, biscuits, who cares after all that?

If you have all day to cook, might I suggest the Opelousas Chicken? The recipe is up top I think, and the dish is out of this world.

I can't find it up top, maybe it's in another thread?
I tried downloading the book, but the website kept messing up.

It's in the actual book. I'll get it for you.
Here it is:
Makes: 6 - 8 servings
Prep Time: 30 minutes
Cook Time: 3 hours, 0 minutes
Ready In: 3 hours, 30 minutes
This Cajun's secret to making this dish a success is and I quote, "The secret to this very famous Opelousas dish is in the seasoning and in the long, slow basting process." Patience, Patience, Patience!!!
4 fryer halves Tony Chachere’s Creole Seasoning™
1 cup oil 1 cup water
1 small can paprika 1 tbsp chili powder
Season chicken generously with Tony’s or salt & pepper. Rub well on each side. Place fryer halves in open baking pan & cover with a mixture of oil and water. Sprinkle with paprika & chili powder.
Place pan in a pre-heated 275° oven and cook until hot. Baste continuously about every half hour until deep dark brown about 3-5 hours.
The secret to this very famous Opelousas dish is in the seasoning & in the long, slow basting process. You can also use whole chickens instead of fryer halves.
I would cut this recipe in half if it's just for two. But, I'm not lying when I tell you you will LITERALLY be trying to suck your friends off.
