Relying on Daddy to cook dinner may not always sound like a good idea, but sometimes there isn't really an alternative option. Tonight I was too busy to cook, and I was so impressed with what my husband prepared that I'm considering not cooking dinner ever again. Well maybe not... Anyways, the secret to success is called BBQ.
You can't really go wrong with BBQ. It took him less than 20 minutes to cook what we'll call the American "Poulet Basquaise" (chicken a la basque?).
Here's the "recipe":
- One adorable husband and his favorite gas grill and wok. Our BBQ includes a gas burner, which makes things a lot easier for this recipe as you can cook the whole dinner at the same place.
- A few pieces of organic boneless skinless chicken breast (enough to feed everyone at the table).
- A quick home made marinade made of 1 lemon juice, 3-4 tbsp of olive oil, chopped parsley
- Any veggies you find in the fridge, in our case tonight: 1 eggplant, 3 bellpeppers (green and red), all chopped in cubes about the same size, and a minced garlic clove.
Pretty low key so far, right?It should have been no more than 5 minutes since you (or he) got started. And it doesn't get much more complicated...
* Marinate the chicken in the marinade for as long as you can. I think tonight that was barely 10 minutes, but still worth it.
* Heat a bit of olive oil in the wok, then add the cut veggies and let them cook, shaking once in a while. The wok is pure magic, you can't go wrong even if you have no idea how to cook. Add a bit of salt and pepper to taste.
* Meanwhile, cook the chicken on the BBQ until thoroughly cooked.
* Serve and enjoy!
