If you follow this blog, you know we like chicken. With that in mind, we searched the internet for a new recipe for a chicken dish. We came across a Tarragon Chicken at myrecipes.com. Since we still have some tarragon growing in the south forty of the gardens, we decided this would be a great dish to try out. We combined the chicken with left over sautéed vegetables from last night and some roasted butternut squash. I fix the butternut squash by cutting it into small pieces, drizzling olive oil over it, and sprinkling roasted cumin, salt, pepper, and nutmeg over it all. As a side note, use fresh ground nutmeg … the difference is surprising. By the way, when fixed this way, the butternut squash tastes and looks very similar to sweet potatoes (without the carbs).
We paired the dinner with a 2010 Dogajolo Toscano. This is a Sangiovese & Cabernet Sauvignon blend from Tuscany Italy which we purchased from Costco for about $10 a bottle. Although I have to admit, we selected this bottle because we liked the pretty label, it turned out to be a good wine that went very well with the dinner and even better with the chocolate!
