Classic Chicken dinner. 2/1/25

Rotisserie chicken with gravy, rice, and Brussels sprouts

I know you are probably tired of classic chicken dinner appearing almost every week. So am I. We changed it a little this week with rice instead of mashed potatoes but our second dinner with a rotisserie chicken needs an updating. I found a recipe for Chicken Lo Mein that I think I will try the next time we go to Costco and buy a chicken.

As usual I sliced up one of the chicken breasts and warmed it gently in a pot of chicken gravy made from a packet. The rice was left over from an earlier dinner. I had 20 Brussels sprouts which turned into 40 when I sliced them in half. I start them cut side down in a large frying pan with a little water, a tablespoon of butter, and a sprinkling of sugar. After the water comes to a boil I turn it to simmer and cover the pan and let them cook for about 5ish minutes. Then I take off the cover and let the water steam off. When the water is almost gone I add a shot glass of dry sherry. The sherry cooks off leaving a nice nutty flavor. Then I just wait until the sprouts are browned in the remaining butter in the pan. They are really good. Trust me.
