Look how lovely. Really, food artists/photographers sometimes deserve a lot more credit than the cook. On the weekends, I like to cook things that aren't so easy in case I run into trouble. My Guy is here to stir while I chop or whatever. And don't let that scare you. This was NOT a difficult recipe. I just decided to try more than one new recipe that night and had 10 things going at once. I even made Teen Girl make the sauce for this recipe.
How did it taste? Well, the entire family agreed on one thing. The chicken was far better than the shrimp. That might be because we all got sick of shrimp during a jambalaya kick we were on last year, but I'm not so sure. The sauce is pretty strong (right now, the leftovers have already stunk up my kitchen. Every time someone opens the fridge and lets the smell out, we groan.) and I think the milder chicken allowed for that strong taste a bit better than the shrimp. Also, I think I should have followed the photo more than the recipe. I ended up with REALLY green sauce and not the pretty drizzle you see above.
The recipe wasn't bad, but I'm not sure it is something any of us will ever crave again and so I'm tossing it out of my recipe book. Better luck to you! (PS - I served this with a side of orzo, and to store leftovers, tossed it all with the orzo as one dish. It absorbed some of the sauce and made it a little milder. (Pic below).
