Garlic Parmesan Chicken with Pan Roasted Herbed Potatoes and Panzanella - Sunday Dinner 1.0

I know I have said this several times before but this time it's on another level so bear with this last time! This is the best Sunday lunch ever. As a matter of fact we had this for dinner hence the 'Dinner 1.0' suffix in the title.

Sunday Lunch 3.0

It's been a long time since I have posted any new photos as I haven't practiced for almost three weeks because of the worst flu ever.

As the passion slowly returns (as indicated by the poor plating) better meals and desserts will be prepared. This dish features roasted king fish steaks with roasted red peppers and potatoes, cajun shrimp fettucine and garlic spinach.
