Happy Valentine’s Day to everyone out there! This year, I am in a very surprise mood! Just as I was saying laogong doesn’t really surprise me with flowers in the past years. This year, he actually did.
And I have actually prepared to cook for this evening’s dinner. Because eating outside on Valentine’s day is so expensive and plus the COVID-19 situation, I think it’s best to stay home and avoid crowded places. I mean, can go out lah. Just don’t stay out too long. Or maybe, age is catching up on me. I preferred having home cooked food these days.
And I got my recipe from Pinterest, as usual. Here is the link for the Black Pepper Chicken Chop that I prepared this evening. I have marinated the chicken thighs and leg overnight because I won’t have enough time to prepared it today.
Doesn’t it looked professional cooked? 😋 The sauce in the recipe is really thick, and I like it. I baked some potatoes and boiled some broccoli and carrot to go along with the chicken chop. For the baked potatoes, before baking, I poked some holes and brush some olive oil (I don’t use vegetable oil) and lay some aluminum foil and I baked it for about 25 mins + another 15 mins. I used a chopstick to poke it to ensure its cooked. And boiling of vegetables, are purely based on my instinct. 😂 Plain vegetables are to compliment with the heavy black pepper sauce. And actually, today was my first time cooking this dish. I really hoped my laogong likes it.
