What's for Dinner?

[Morrigoon]

Tonight wasn't exactly dinner fail, but I wouldn't call it a triumph either. It was oven-baked chicken breast with nothing more than seasoned salt and poultry seasoning on it, and rice cooked in chicken broth.

The rice was nice, but would have liked it better with yet more flavor... perhaps if I'd sauteed it first in butter, onion and bouillon before pouring in the broth would have punched it up a bit.

The chicken was... plain. It was fine, just... plain. Can't wait till I get my tolerance for garlic back.

Decided to set half of it aside for a later pasta dish (something involving cream sauce and pork product, I've no doubt)

Do what the Hare Krishnas do and use Asafetida/Hing powder. All the garlicky taste you love with none of the Allium problems.

You've got to be careful with storing that stuff, though. Our plastic container of "ass" has its very own glass jar to protect everything else.

A good solution goonie for more flavor, add loads of fresh herbage. You might also want to try a hint of garlic powder for the flavor rather than fresh garlic?
