CLUCK OUT OF LUCK

The title says it all. My luck ran out last night when the chicken hit the cutting board. Chef Emi had us dissect the chicken into 8 parts. Normally not a problem for me; but then make an entrée, that is colorful and flavorful, with a starch and vegetable.
There really is no fresh vegetables left in the cooler, and so coming up with something colorful was a struggle. I keep using tomatoes and red pepper, and I am sure everyone including me is tired of the same dish presented by me.
I settled on marinating the breast’s in some orange juice and chopped up sage I brought in from my garden. I decided on garlic-parmesan risotto for my starch, and I fluted mushrooms! GREAT everything is white. At least the mushrooms were interesting to look at. So much for colorful! As for the flavor it was ok, but I have done better at home.
