Now that my daughter is an adult, we've finally come clean that when she was growing up we used to recycle gifts for her to give us on holidays or special occasions. She never really paid attention to what she was wrapping for us, she was just excited to be giving mom and dad a gift. So when we told her that she gave Jason the same tool about 7 different times, she was like wtf? LOL. She likes to complain that we are the hardest people on the planet to buy gifts for, and I agree with her to a point, simply because as we age we are trying to decrease the amount of material items we have in our home. But we love consumables. For me, I'd love a candle or a box of my favorite tea. For Jason, it's always food. Either a dinner out or a home cooked meal would make him the happiest. But this year she did find a pretty good gift in the form of an experience, but I can't share with you just yet to ruin her surprise. Normally she'd scour the internet looking for a unique recipe, but since she is off the hook for coming up with a meal worthy of a special occasion, I thought I would share a recipe that's perfect for many dads this Father's Day in case anyone needed any inspiration this year. After saving this recipe from Golden Blossom Honey, I made this French Country Chicken a few weeks back for dinner and it was a huge hit with Jason. 

 

 

While this recipe is fancy enough for Father's Day, you certainly do not need a special occasion to serve this meal. Because there are so many veggies in this dish, I also think it needs to be saved by those who are doing some serious gardening this year. It's a great way to use up extra produce before it goes to waste. You can serve the chicken over a bed of white rice, but it would pair with pasta beautifully as well. Vegetarians do not need to shy away from this recipe. Simply replace the chicken breast with a grilled portobella mushroom cap and it's *chef kiss* delicious. Don't let the number of ingredients steer you away from trying your hand at this recipe. With a good chopper, this could easily be on the table in under 45 minutes.
