Spring Time Meals
Spring, it's that time of the year again. The time when the days get longer and the time when we want to lighten up from some of the heavy comfort food we've been eating the last couple of months. To kick of spring, I came up with three crowd pleasers, my 40 Clove Garlic Chicken, a delicious Black Eyed Pea Salad and Strawberry Cake with Strawberry Cream Cheese Icing. Enjoy! 40 Clove Garlic Chicken This is a simple but extremely tasty chicken dish. I marinate my chicken over night in herbs, wine, garlic and celery then brown it and slow cook it to perfection. Ingredients 40 garlic cloves, peeled 4 celery ribs, sliced 3 to 4 pounds chicken, cut up and skin removed (either fryer or parts) 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon pepper 2 tablespoons olive oil 1/4 cup dry white wine or reduced-sodium chicken broth 2 tablespoons sherry Juice and zest of a lemon 2 teaspoons dried basil 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley or 2 teaspoons dried parsley Directions Place sherry,
