Last week, we had Chilean friends over for dinner, and I wanted to make something fast because I had only a couple of hours to do everything, including setting the table! These Pollo al jugo Juicy Stove-Top Chicken Thighs fill the bill with traditional Chilean flavors.
I served them mashed potatoes, a salad, and Chilean wine. For dessert, I had this Apple Galette, and I was ready. We had a good time. What is your favorite dish to make for mid-week guests?
