John took the GRE today and earned a qualifying score for the PhD program at VCU. Here we go!!!! Another educational adventure at the Burch house. I am so proud of him!
Chicken Pontalba. Jerry and I cooked it while Mama Mia was on tv. I don't think anyone was watching it, but the music will forever be associated with this dish. I was humming, dancing and couldn't help it. Maybe we should call this Chicken PontABBA.
Anyway, this dish was really, really good. It was very different from the other dishes we have cooked so far. The chicken breasts were dipped in melted butter and baked for 15 minutes. That was worrisome. I thought they would still be raw. They were perfect. While they cooked, we sauted mushrooms, ham chunks, garlic, and green onions. When they were done, we added the white wine and the fried diced potatoes. The fried potatoes added an interesting texture to the vegetable/ham saute. I forgot, actually I never realized I was supposed to, add the meat seasoning. I can tell you that I never missed it because the recipe called for a Bearnaise Sauce, which is a modified Hollandaise Sauce. This sauce has a lovely creamy texture and a tangy lemon flavor. It was perfect!!!
