Something I realized during my planning session for this week was that I have never actually posted about this recipe, which is one of our favourite last minute meals.  My husband tells me it reminds him of the sauce in a prawn cocktail, but having a severe seafood allergy, I wouldn’t know.  What I do know is the kids devour it and it’s a sinch to throw together using pantry staples, so if we are in a hurry or late home one night, I know I probably have everything on hand to make this dish before the kids fall asleep.  So, just picture some green shallots sprinkled over the top of the chicken in this picture (because my husband tells me it looks anaemic).  It was a last-minute, totally unplanned photo, so be forgiving.<\/p>\n
