It was definitely too hot to be cooking this but I was craving it.
The chicken is really just an essential ingredient needed to flavor the potatoes. The potatoes are the star of the dish.
I have been hoarding some Parmesan Reggiano for about 13 years and decided today was time to use some of it.
Cost per person: $1.86
I don’t really have a recipe for this because it’s from childhood but Pasta Grammar has one close to it. We add a drained can of peas at the last 10 ten minutes.
We have another version where cooked spaghetti is added to turn this into a triple threat of carbs for bottomless teenage stomachs.
As soon as I get my cholesterol in check I’m going to make this dish, it’s currently too high to indulge in such fatty deliciousness.
I could try to make this with boneless skinless Chicken breast but we all know it’s the roasting in the Chicken fat that makes it so wonderful.
You could go with a good quality olive oil and skip the chicken.
Believe me I do that all the time, but I miss those thighs.
4 months to go to check my numbers, I’ve already improved my blood pressure enough to no longer need medication so my diet and exercise is working, I just have to moderate this type of delicious food once I get things in healthy levels.
The Mediterranean diet is amazing, I love it, but I do miss these types of dishes.
