Type of dish: Almost a whole meal -- side of vegetable needed
Type of taste: Warm, creamy
This Wednesday my mom and I cooked Chicken Lazone, which you can find here. It did not take much time at all and was very easy, although I did get spices under my nails. That miiiight have been because I coated the chicken by tossing it with my bare hands in a bowl, but who knows? I really liked the taste of the meal and thought it was creamy and flavorful without being too spicy for my tastes. I was worried it would be too spicy because of the red pepper and various spices, but it wasn't. My family enjoyed it and I might cook it again. It was enjoyable as leftovers today as well. It nukes in the microwave gracefully.
Assessment:
Recipe: Easy to follow
The recipe was very easy to follow. I had no trouble with it. Just read it beforehand to plan accordingly.
Difficulty: Super-dee-duper simple
You just mix some stuff and throw them in a pan, then you heat up some sauce, all while boiling some spaghetti. Seriously. So simple.
Time: 40 minutes total
It took forty minutes total to cook the meal from the beginning until sitting down to eat it. I'm sure cooking it a second time would knock off even more. The recipe says it takes fifteen minutes, but it really doesn't account for prep time. Still, it was a fast meal.
Taste: Very good
The taste was delicious. It is on the border between good and great, because I really enjoyed it, but my socks were not knocked off by the sheer fantastic flavor. I really like it with pasta, but I might try it with potatoes next time.
Next time: Try it with potatoes
Okay, so the expense segment didn't last long. Don't hate me. Here's a new one! It tasted really good with pasta, and I cannot really think of anything major to change if I make it again. However, the recipe suggests putting it on baked potatoes instead of pasta and I think that would be good. I might also try rice and manipulate the spices so that it is a bit spicier, sort of like curry.
Overall: 8 out of 10
This dish was very easy and simple, but it tasted very good. It did not take very much time at all to cook and my family really enjoyed it. I would make this again, but I would try it with a different base next time if I am feeling adventurous.
Next week I will be cooking Chicken Bacon Pasta, if the universe does not put me in the corner for a time-out.
