This week we made Chicken Basin Street for our family night dinner. This recipe hails from McCall's Great American Recipe Card Collection, 1973.
This dish is really easy to put together. My teen learned how to brown chicken in a pan without burning it, which was a first.
Once you put it all together and get the sauce cooking with the chicken, the aroma is really mouthwatering.
Steaming the rice was interesting for my daughter because she kept wanting to open the lid to check on it. I told her the whole point of steaming rice is to keep the lid on. She resisted the urge and the steamed rice came out perfect.
This Chicken Basin Street dish came out really well and was tasty. Personally, I would prefer to de-bone and skin the chicken prior to putting the sauce together. We will make this chicken dish again to try it without bones.
Very interesting post... I can see that you put a lot of hard work on your blog. I'm sure I'd visit here more often. George from Dinner Ideas.
ReplyDeleteActually making this tonight. This was a favorite of my husband and me when we were first married, and I bought those recipe cards.(1973!) We were feeling nostalgic about the recipe, so decided to make it again after many years. I am making it with boneless chicken breasts, though.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to a dinner that brings back good memories of the old days!
