Oh – I’ve been here. LOL – I know how you guys get when I’m gone for a while.
Hey – by the way, you can always check me out on Twitter – I tweet often – @dariustwilliams – or you can catch me on Facebook – http://www.facebook.com/everydaycookin
Okay, so where have I been? Did you know I’m working to become a millionaire before I turn 30? Check out my other blog – http://www.millionbythirty.com. That’ll keep you abreast of all my business ventures. On the flip side – I’ve been cooking and taking photos – just haven’t had a chance to post them. You know how that goes, right?
So, here’s a mid-week/weeknight quickie! It’s chicken – but done my way – sauteed and then topped with a leek and artichoke ragout over some quite delicious smashed potatoes! This one was a winner – although – I’m not a fan of that marinating liquid they used for bottled artichokes. Nevertheless – here are the photos and the process – there’s no recipe cuz I pulled this one out of the thin air – lol – but it’s easy to follow…I think.
Saute of the leeks and bacon. So, bacon should totally be a seasoning instead of a protein – lol.
Such a perfect sear on those chicken breasts! Gotta make sure the internal temp is correct too.
A touch of butter in the end makes this all worth while.
Yes, more butter – but what’s potatoes without butter?
The finished plate!
Love what a cast iron frying pan can do for chicken!
Delicious as always Darius!!!
Yes – I seem to use my cast iron skillet for everything these days – lol
Thanks! I appreciate it!
That chicken looks gorgeous!!!. What i truly crave at times is a nice juicy chicken with mash!! . Never quiet mastered it though!. This looks amazing. Will try it this weekend!.
I love recipes “pulled out of the thin air” and yours looks amazing Darius. I concocted a bread salad last night and I’ll be darned if I can recall how I did it. Concoctions are simply my favorite. I need to try chicken in the cast iron pan. I don’t think I have. Or, perhaps, I’ve forgotten that too!!!
Thanks for sharing…I need to check to see if I’m a twitter follower, now…
Thanks for stopping by my blog. I’m enjoying reading your recipes! This looks like a perfect weekday meal. And I’m with you on butter. It makes most dishes worthwhile
Oh Darius…Where are youuuuuuuuuuu…….???
Ok…that looks really good! One of these days I will be an outstanding cook, right? That’s why I would LOVE to get this recipe and try it for my man.(He’s a great cook)
Love the flavors here and the ease of preparation!
This looks crazy delicious! Great idea!
Wow, this recipe is definitely a keeper. I am crazy with anything that has artichokes in it.
Yum, that looks delicious. I love the leek and artichoke ragout. I never thought about that combination but it sounds perfect and very fitting for Spring. Thanks for stopping by my blog. I’ll be back at yours for sure. Looks like you have some great recipes here!
Yeah, it’s good, very useful, thanks
