    Talk about flavorful.

    I’m amazed at how 1 sprig of sage can make such a difference in the flavor of the chicken…but, of course, the cooking method has infuse that flavor too!

    In addition to flavorful, it’s simple too. Drop the chicken onto a piece of foil and add the sage, some diced onions, olive oil and vinegar. I add a few drops of vinegar to the grill packet as well, as it tends to help take the edge off the “chicken-y taste” and allows the sage flavor to take over.

    As the chicken cooks and steams within the foil packet, the juices and sage flavor percolate in the foil and give the chicken a delicious flavor and tender texture.

    As we continue on the Summertime Pantry Challenge, we had this with the Rosemary Bread from the farmer’s market in Ashtabula (that I sliced and froze.)  We also had some vegetables from the freezer.

    Yeah for simple and flavorful dinners!

      I have fresh sage that I dried from Thanksgiving with nothing to do with it. I think that I just found it!!!

      I just got your Breakfast and Lunch cookbook and read it cover to cover. I just made the baked oatmeal and the lemon coconut bread. They were both well received so I can’t wait to try the next two on my list. There are so many- I don’t know where to start but I am trying to use up for applesauce so I have been going for the ones that use that first. Sadly, I ran out of flour so I am going to have to go to the store and get some more first. Thanks for all the great help!!
