Garlicky Pan Roasted Chicken
This was very good but rather misnamed as it is more lemony than garlicky and not really roasted. My chicken breasts were half submerged in the liquid. Still - I'm not complaining as it was very tasty, very easy and quick and the 20 minutes was right on. I left out the cayenne and used olive oil. I used dried parsley instead of the fresh I have because a whole bunch of quail were out in my yard eating and drinking and I didn't want to disturb them to pick the fresh (if you know me, this makes a whole lotta sense! :D).

Your picture is fantastic Frankieanne and the Chicken does indeed look delicious! Sooooo envying you quail in your back yard. That is too cool. I wouldn't go out to disturb them either! :)
(What is the yummy looking potato dish sharing the plate with the chicken?)

Thank you! I do love seeing the quail in my yard.
Chuckie, it is a medium red potato, microwaved for four minutes then smashed with a plate. Heat up some oil in a pan (olive, vegetable or whatever) and throw it in for three to four minutes on each side to crisp it up over medium heat. Its pretty simple though I think there is a recipe posted here somewhere but I don't know what they are called. I've been making them for quite a while. I have a friend that requests this every time he comes to dinner. He thinks they are so marvelous when they are really so simple. Makes me look like I know what I am doing in the kitchen. :D

I'm totally copying and pasting the Red Potato instructions. I can imagine how awesome it must taste when you use new potatoes too. I love potatoes. LOL!

I wouldn't disturb the quail either Frankie! It would be quite the sight to see. Nice pic and thanks for the thumbs up on this recipe:-) I bookmarked this to try and taking note of how you made the yummy looking potato too. It looks so fantastic!

Feel free, Chuckie! Let me know how you like them.
Thank you, G4U.
I should add you can use any kind of potato you want. I have used Yukons and white ones as well as red. Just cook them any way you like and smash them! I microwave just because it is quicker. Oh - probably needless to say - but don't peel them. The peel helps hold them together better when you smash them.
These are also good for breakfast with a runny egg on top!
OK - I'm so hungry now. I want some breakfast! :D

OMG that breakfast potato with the egg on top sounds delicious! Eggs are my one true weakness! Okay back to the chicken lol! Great picture! That is a lot of lemon juice! I would up the garlic too, but I too am a HUGE garlic fan. Cute with the quails! I honestly don't think I would even know what one of those looked like lol! I don't get much of those around here! Do they eat just bird food?

Yes, they eat seeds although they are known to eat small bugs. I like them for many reasons, but one is they eat up the seeds that the other birds knock to the ground. They scratch and peck just like chickens. I keep a shallow dish of water out there for them. They walk rather than fly (unless they are scared) so it isn't unusual to see a whole line of them walking down the road. They like groups.
I'll post a picture of some quail in a thread here so you can see how pretty they are.
