Overrated

To sum up last night's dinner in one word is overrated. The meal sounded much better than it actually turned out. (sorry again, for the poor quality - guess I need to get the iphone 4!)

The first thing I made was chicken with roasted tomatoes which turned out okay. The flavor was excellent but the chicken itself was somewhat rubbery. I found this recipe from Hungry Girl but can't find the link to the actual recipe. Basically you take your raw chicken breasts and put them on a large piece of foil with non-stick cooking spray. Take a can of roasted tomoatoes with garlic and pour on top. Seal the foil so it is like a pouch and bake for 25 minutes at 375. It is VERY easy. I must have used bad chicken.

The next thing I made was fried and stuffed rice balls. These were delicious but wasn't too fond of the dried basil I added to the mix - the flavor seemed overpowering. I made the risotto for the balls the night before since it has to be chilled when you form them. I may try making these again but trying a different spice or none at all.

I hyped this meal up way too much in my head and was looking forward to it all week. Bummer!
