Hello, dear friends! Hello, dear Mothers! Happy Mother’s Day to you all, especially to my own!❤❤❤Thank you for EVERYTHINGyou do!
Also? CONGRATULATIONS, I turned out perfectly!
Can I ramble on just a little more about how motherhood is still totally the hardest job in the world? YET so freakin’ awesomely rewarding!?!
I heard that all my life and it sounded like this,“When you become a mother, blah blah blaaaah blah blah!”. *eyeroll*
Butthen I became a Mommy and things completely fell into place and everything started to make sense and I pulled my hair out and I kissed the bejesus out of my kids – all of that at the same time.
Okay. About that food…
COCONUT MILK CHICKEN
Here she be! Aint’ she delicious!?
This chicken dinneris the flavor bomb of my life. I am trying to put into words how much I love this combination of coconut milk with thyme + all the garlic. A whole BULB of garlic. Yeah, baby!
Being the person that is in full blown relationship with one pot chicken dinners, it should come as no surprise thatthis Coconut Milk and Thyme Braised Chicken isthe simplest, but most delicious thing ever.
How to Make Coconut Milk Braised Chicken
As things almost always happen, this lovely din din is the result of coconut milk, chicken drumsticks that I forgot to throw in the freezer, and chicken thighs that my other half was crying for. Thyme and garlic? Always necessary.
The deal is, though, that I’m pretty sure you will also fall in love with the rich flavors of this dish! It is OUT of this world!!! Exclamation points are also alwaysnecessary.
With only about 15 minutes of prep time, you will have an entire hour after that to let this baby cook in the oven while you shop online for that spankin’ new Yves Saint Laurent handbag. It’s Mother’s Day – I deserve it. I mean you!YOU deserve it!
ENJOY!
