My blogger friend, Sam, at My Carolina Kitchen, reminded me that I had not made Chicken Marengo in many years. I followed her recipe
and this evening we had a lovely Chicken Marengo dish. We both enjoyed it very much.
I decided to serve it with Quinoa, pronounced Keen-wah. We like Quinoa a lot. It is a perfect protein and a wonderful substitute for rice or couscous. It is high in iron, calcium, magnesium, B vitamins and fiber.
Quinoa can be used in salads and pilafs and as a simple side. It is also gluten-free and wheat-free. If you have not tried it, I really suggest that you might like it.
Thank you Sam for a delightful Chicken Marengo. I did not even bother finding my old recipe as I knew this one sounded perfect.
Your blog......I always seem to be looking at it just before dinner and it makes me VERY HUNGRY! But don't stop! I like quinoa too, and should make it soon. (Tonight?)
ReplyDeleteI just came over from Sam's blog and there is that beautiful chicken marengo dish again- Love it. Very nice.
ReplyDeleteYour chicken Morengo looks delicious.
ReplyDeletethe sauce itself would be delightful over seafood, sausages, steak etc etc - delicious!! Of course I was hungry as an alligator after a tough 96 score playing golf so it was especially good!!! TROUT
ReplyDeleteYou have some good sounding recipes. I finally tried your Mongolian Beef a couple nights ago. It was a hit. Thanks!!
ReplyDeleteSusan, I'm so glad you and the Trout liked the Chicken Marengo. I love that you used Quinoa with it. How clever and modern. I didn't realize it was gluten-free. I'll be sure to remember that.

Your photo tells the tale - it did indeed turn out perfectly! Isn't quinoa terrific? I hope you are having a wonderful day...Mary
ReplyDeleteIf both you and Sam love it, it is good enough for me. Beautiful picture too!
ReplyDeleteMy Mom was just mentioning that she bought a bag of Quinoa and was trying to figure out the best way to cook it. Maybe you could do a post about that? The chicken looks terrific!
ReplyDeleteStarted making Quinoa as part of our meals. This recipe sound so interseting! Thank you.
