Had a serving with rice of this very simple, four ingredient, retro slow cooked apricot chicken. Reminds me of growing up in the 70's. As discussed in this thread: https://www.cookingbites.com/threads/chicken-liver-pate.15902/

Basically just chicken, onion, a packet of dried French onion soup, and a tin of apricots.

Wow! What a colour! I think the recipe embedded in the chicken liver thread needs pulling out as a new Recipe thread...

That really does look absolutely delicious. Although I have to say I wouldn't be able to eat so much food at one sitting! Home made focaccia?

Thanks! Yes, the bread is leftover from the picnic last week. That's the end of it.

I'm kind of stuck with what to make tonight. I want something a little lighter. Maybe an omelette or a frittata.

I rarely get all four burners and the oven going at the same time, but chicken parm, steamed broccoli, and reheated focaccia dictated it.

Most days during the week, I don't feel all that hungry at dinnertime. But, I'd make room for this in my belly!

Very nice! I've had mortadella, and I've had cutlets (like veal)...this sounds (and looks) delicious!

Thank you
I used a slice of mortadella cut about 0.5 cm. You can also do it with a slice of ham.

Hard to see, but that's a wedge of potato-leek gratin under that egg.

Typical Saturday morning here, made scrambled eggs and bacon for the wife. Just a cup of tea for me.

I'll believe you - and I like the idea of potato-leek gratin so I wish I could see it!

It looks really good.

There's one quarter of it left, I'll snap a pic if I can keep MrsTasty from eating it first.

Direct quote from my wife after I handed it to her: "Wow. This is...oh, wow! I think I'm in heaven! Wow...just...wow!"

It was definitely a throw-together meal. I had one leek leftover from something else and just enough potatoes to make the gratin, but I'd already decided on something eggy, so I threw the egg on top.

Good!

I often find my best meals are just that.

You can't ask for more...
