On the other hand, we do have a toaster oven. And on a really hot day, it's definitely the way to go. After all - it does the full-on baking thing without heating up the whole kitchen.
So tonight, as we often do, we foil-wrapped chicken breasts in the toaster oven. And, yeah, it's about as easy as it sounds. Put the chicken in a foil packet with some spices or sauce or something and bake it for about 40 minutes at 375.
Tonight's flavor: Tarragon with Dijon mustard.
We mixed a tablespoon or so of Dijon mustard with a teaspoon or so of dried tarragon, a sprinkling of black pepper, and a little garlic powder. Spread it on the chicken. Sealed up the foil packet, and baked.
About half an hour later, the house smelled amazing. So we made a little Minute Rice with white pepper and garlic, poured some wine, and settled in.
It's been a stressful week, and it was kind of one of those unexpectedly relaxed and enjoyable evenings on a Friday night.
Hope yours was good, too.
