Another great recipe from Everyday Food’s Great Food Fast. This is one of my favorite cookbooks. It could be the glossy, perfect food photography.. but then again, every Martha recipe I make comes out great – including this Braised Chicken with Mushrooms and Oven-Baked Polenta.

The recipe was pretty simple. Most of the ingredients will come from your pantry, excluding the chicken and mushrooms, which are basics that hang around most kitchens. I would recommend watching the chicken closely during the last step – I had to add extra chicken broth at the end because all of my liquid had evaporated. The juices are a great addition to the dish and shouldn’t be missed. Most importantly, my husband left the table full and satisfied. Another great weeknight meal!
