As much as I love the process of cooking, the chopping, the basting or sautéing. I love it when a simple meal comes together after a quick prep and utilizes only a few simple ingredients.
I stumbled across this video at work the other day. I was testing out a new phone (my job is awesome) and noticed that the You Tube widget linked to this video:
This “recipe” seemed pretty simple. 4 ingredients. Chicken, pears, salt, pepper. An easy and quick prep and an hour later you have food.
So tonight I tried it out. The prep was simple. I was running late home from work after deciding that I should stop at Wal-Mart on the way home for just a few things. So I got started a little later than I would have liked to roast a chicken on a work night…but the prep was quick, less than 10 min and that included me rooting around for just the right pan.
Here it is before…
I followed it to the letter with one exception…I added a little olive oil. I like the skin crispy.
And it was crispy.
And tasty. I would make this again.
Which leaves one question, at the end of the video someone puts a cat down near the chicken. Did Christopher Walken make the chicken and pears for the cat?
