Cinnamon And Sherry Chicken Aka Boys Chicken

- 20 minutes to make
- Serves 4
My 3 year old has grown bored with the weekly rotation of grilled chicken, turkey burger, grilled pork chops, etc. So, this weekend, while watching him and his cousins (also 3), we decided to make something new. Read more The boys (hence the nickname in the title) were asked to choose what they wanted on their chicken from the spice cubbord - one picked Cinnamon (because Mommy puts it in her tea) and the other grabbed the bottle of Sherry cooking wine (why - becasue "vino is keano" - long story - his father was watching an old Tom Hanks movie where that line is said and he kept repeating it). With that we proceeded to make Boys Chicken as it has come to be termed - Since it was a Boys night - mommies and sisters are not allowed to have this. . . . they GOBBLEd it up - very little left-over. We served it with steamed broccolini and sliced french bread (again - two 3 year old boys). I suspect this would go well with roasted potatoes (rosemary and oil) and an assortment of vegetables. My wife and sister-in-law loved this (not just for children) - they snuck a few pieces. when they came home. See less
