I have tried chicken, in so many ways. I have had it diced and put in soup. I have had it grilled and put on a Styrofoam plate at a barbecue. I have had it with lemon juice. I have had it with tomato sauce. I have had it fried. I could go on forever, but that's not what I'm writing this for. Last night, my dad made chicken, spiced it and cooked it in a pan, and it was perfect. It was peppery, tender, and satisfactory.
My dad also made a mushroom and carrot sauce for the chicken, but I was avoiding it because, I hate mushrooms. I hate them! Something about their spongy texture and bland taste gets to me. Anyways, when I had eaten most of the outside, I had to face the mushrooms. I lifted some onto my fork, and into my
mouth. I expected to cringe as a chewed, but, actually, I took another bite, and another, and I realized, I love this stuff. It had a savory and smoky flavor, and a creamy texture. I began to scrape the plate with my fork, hoping there would magically be more. So, congratulations, Dad. You tricked my taste-buds.The zucchini was cooked in our old fashioned toaster oven, since we don't own a microwave. It was simply done, but tasted fantastic. All it needed was a dash of salt, a
nd it was great. Easy as well, all you need is one or two zucchini shredded, and placed in a pan with butter and herbs and put in the oven for about an hour!
So, chicken with mushroom sauce and zucchini, I will most definitely eat you again! Yet another, love at first bite.
