So today we have an organic italian themed dish. I call it "Chicken garlic buttery bud good sauce" Yeah man, but what we lack in name we make up for in taste though.
So here it is with pics and recipe. Weed is optional if you just want a tasty meal after a hard days work or a long days smoke. But this is a recipe that buds go good on.
So first off You will need:
1 caserole dish
3 medium to large chicken breasts (i will put cook times for both frozen and normal)
1.5 cups of cheese (mozerella works good, so does agasio cheese, or parmisan, but tbh as long as its not too pungent of a cheese like a swiss cheese or a blue cheese you will be fine)
half a stick butter
quarter cup minced or chopped garlic
quarter cup chopped sweet basil (or small leave basil)
5-6 good sized roma tomatos
5 tablespoons olive oil
one 6-8 inch stalk of rosemary
salt n pepper
half cup chopped high grade buds (still slightly wet and not fully cured is best, freshly picked is ok too but its THC content will be slightly behind, completely cured dry bud is fine as well but fresher the better imho)
Firstly lets set the oven to 410 degrees.
Ok so first you take the olive oil and spread it around the chicken breasts then salt n pepper both sides to taste. laying them in your baking dish.
Then break up your rosemary into 1 inch sticks and place a couple on top of each breast, also break up or chop your basil (i just pull the leaves apart) and spread it around on top of the breasts as well. At this time also take your finely chopped buds and spread them across the chicken breasts and the bottom of the pan.
Cut each roma tomato into 8 pieces and spread the chunks out across the top, then take your butter cut it into cubes and lay across the top evenly as well as your garlic.
When its all ready to go it should look something like:
Now cover the top with tinfoil and put in the oven @ 410 degrees. Bake for approx 60 minutes for frozen or 35 minutes for thawed. Then pull out and change the oven temp to 300 degrees. It should look like this:
I like to cut into a breast now to check for any pinkness(it should have none, but if it does recover and cook for an additional 5-10 minutes or until pink is gone in center)
Now first pull out the little rosemary sticks. Its not a necessary step to do as they are edible and taste pretty good. But I prefer to remove them as their flavor is already infused by now in the chicken and sauce and now we can spread the cheese over the top then cook it for an additional 15 minutes approx with the tinfoil off.
Once the cheese has a nice golden brown top you can take it out and it should look like:
Serve with a little pasta and some bread, maybe a salad for a complete meal. But this shit is good enough to eat alone. The chicken is very moist from cooking in the tomato juices, the oil and butter it just melts in your mouth.
So yeah Thats Jimmys Italian bud chicken and let me tell ya you aint had Italian till you had this Italian.
Also remember Organic and homegrown is best and most flavorful. So use organic everything if possible
