New Sides for a Favorite Entree



Not feeling too inspired these days so it was back to an old favorite. Panko crusted chicken with maple mustard pan sauce. Yum.

But this time we utilized the amazing brussels sprouts that came with our Farm Box. Wow, these light green gems were so sweet and delicious that I merely braised them in water and salt and then tossed them with a bit of unsalted butter and pepper to finish them off. Delectable.


I usually prepare a mashed sweet potato with this meal but we had butternut squash that Sam had picked up the week before that I wanted to use. I split the squash in half and baked it at 400 degrees, cut-side down for about 45 minutes. Then I melted one tablespoon each of butter and maple syrup and brushed that onto the squash and then popped it back in the over for about 5 minutes. Simple, delicious.
