Easy Dinner

Chicken thighs seasoned with Herbes de Provence and Lemon Dill green beans

At a recent cooking show, one of the guests was very excited to find out that Demarle at Home sells "Herbes de Provence".  She shared with me a "recipe" for yummy chicken that I had to try.  I used boneless, skinless chicken thighs and simply sprinkled the herbs directly on the chicken.  Demarle at Home actually has a recipe (right on the front of the Herbes de Provence packet... I guess I missed that before) that says to make a paste out of the herbs and olive oil and rub generously on the chicken, so you could do that too.  I baked the chicken on my Silpat, but I definitely should have used my Deep Flexipat.  There was more juice that cooked out of the chicken than I was expecting and I made a mess of my oven.  The chicken tasted great and you can't get any simpler than that for dinner!

I also made up some Lemon Dill green beans easy as pie (well, a lot easier than pie, actually).  Wash and trim your fresh green beans and place them in a mold (I used my Large Round, but any mold will do).  Add 2 Tbsp. of water to the mold and cover using a Silpat (like the octagonal).  Microwave for 3-5 minutes until tender but not overcooked (aka mushy).  Sprinkle with olive oil, Lemon Dill herb blend, and Sel Gris French Grey Sea Salt to taste.  Toss gently and serve immediately.
