Take frozen, styrofoam/cellophane-wrapped chicken breasts out of freezer.<br /><br />2. Rip off packaging,<br /><br />3. Dump on cookie sheet.<br /><br />4. Shove cookie sheet into oven.<br /><br />5. Turn oven to 350 degrees.<br /><br />6. Go away for 3 hours.<br /><br />7. Come back, remove from oven, and eat.<br /><br />It seemed to work pretty consistently. Of course, we were a bunch of young guys who thought unheated canned refried beans and slices of refrigerator-cold cheddar on an un-warmed flour tortilla was "normal" food.Bertin753https://www.blogger.com/profile/02860648732848589740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6467858377106451384.post-20099234210417148892015-07-15T12:24:58.813-04:002015-07-15T12:24:58.813-04:00Mon Dieu!

Cooking too, sometimes it ends up darn near feral feeding in the end. I do a similar thing, usually in the fall/ winter. I will do the throw everything in the oven and roast, but out of fear of fire or ruining everything I don't like leaving the oven on, so it gets turned down or off. Good to know you have had success with chicken left on low as I am too afraid to ruin it(but finally was shown how to make a perfect roast chicken) I might start off with roasting veg for awhile and either turn the oven off or down to low and go out to either ride or go for a hike down to the beach. When I get home I will check things, throw the oven back up if needed, add any last minute morsels, and by the time I dither around, it's done. I do not do this nearly enough so post ride or commute home from a looong hard day at work, I end up eating chocolate and peanut butter or toast and peanut butter...and then not hungry again until later so second supper awaits around 10 or 11 pm.heathernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6467858377106451384.post-66436152318120756612015-07-14T19:34:49.084-04:002015-07-14T19:34:49.084-04:00Since PBP is in France, Harriet's chicken prob...Since PBP is in France, Harriet's chicken probably had tarragon as an ingredient.
