This was a wonderful dish. The only thing we did not care for was their rice dish that was served with it. If I had to give it a name it would have been "poor man's risotto".
The chicken came out very moist and had a nice glaze on it that wasn't overbearing. The lemon vinaigrette was perfect! Added just the right amount of flavor. They call for 1/2 tsp of red pepper flakes. I've learned from other recipes, and cut it down to 1/4. And was happy I did.
The veggies were fun and different. I have to find a better way to 'shave' them. I tried my mandolin and that didn't work so went back to the peeler that they suggested. Problem is once you start the veggies get slimey and your grip slips. Luckily no major injuries. The change I made to the veggies was to add a bit more flavor than the butter they are cooked in. I sliced up 2 gloves of garlic real thin and tossed those in just before I added the veggies.
Next time I would do real risotto and I think this dish is a keeper and will add it to my selection for clients.
