A sweet pair of breasts

I was really happy with what Laura and I had for dinner tonight and I just thought that I would share 'cause I think that it was pretty easy to make, even when we both aren't feeling well.
  1. Raw carrots: there nothing easier than eating veggies straight out of the bag.
  2. Sweet potato: I boiled it till I should stick a fork in it part way. Then I peeled it (pretty easy, the skin sort of fell off), sliced it into ~1 cm thick pieces, put in in a small glass container, sprinkled it with some brown sugar and a splash of OJ. Then I covered it with some foil, placed in the oven at 400F and forgot about it. It was probably in there for 30-45 minutes.
  3. Chicken breasts: I thawed some chicken in the microwave and then sprinkled with some garlic powder, salt, and a little bit of pepper. Now here is the cool thing: I took a pear, chopped it up, splashed some OJ on it (so it didn't turn brown and nasty), sprinkled some "all spice" and cinnamon, and then added some fresh chopped ginger.
  4. Cooking: I cooked the the chicken in a pan on medium heat, and after I turned it once I dumped in the pear on top (and I added too much water). I just cooked that down till it reduced and then served.
It was very good and I don't think that it took too much effort at all. The only thing that I didn't like was doing the sweet potato. I used a pot and a dish to cook it in. I like it better when I use at most once dish per item. It's better to do the whole thing in one pot though... can you tell that I used to be a dish washer long ago?

  1. The thing is, you ate the carrots raw, thereby using no dishes. This effectively cancels out the extra dish used by the sweet potatoes.
