Chicken with Goat Cheese and Sun-dried Tomatoes, Creamed Corn and Baked Potatoes
I know it's Monday night but today was a holiday and it felt like Sunday dinner time so I decided to try this chicken idea I've had for my upcoming bunco. I like to test the recipes first for taste and presentation. I'm not the best presenter as of yet but I will get there. I took 6 boneless chicken breasts with the skin on and sliced some goat cheese and placed it under the skin with julienned sun-dried tomatoes. I drizzled some really good olive oil on top and just added salt and pepper roasted the chicken in a 375 degree oven for 40 minutes until the skin was golden brown. I also threw in some potatoes in the bottom oven and made homemade creamed corn - not the kind we remember from the can. Creamed corn is so easy to make and wow - so good and simple. Just take a small bag of frozen corn and place in pot with 1 cup cream, 1 tablespoon sugar, 2 tablespoons butter, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil and add 1 cup milk shaken with 2 tablespoons flour. Stir to another boil and turn off heat and continue to stir until thickened. I'm telling you, the can will be a distant memory. The chicken turned out very moist and delish. I'd give this one a try again but will need to think about whether I can 'present' this for bunco. Everyone here loved it and plates were all clean!

Love the idea of making my own creamed corn...wait, it was Mark Stice who always wanted creamed corn, his loss that I didn't know better than to open a can.
