Takeout from Home

Brian got a new cookbook for Christmas, "Epicurious Cookbook.". The other night he made something called Mahogany Chicken.  It was a very simple Asian inspired dish of chicken thighs and sauce, served with jasmine rice and steamed broccoli.

Oh, but it was so much more than that.  I have seen a lot of recipes that proclaim that they taste like making Chinese takeout at home.  This one didn't boast, but was so delicious I wanted to lick the plate.  The only thing I would change was not to use bone-in thighs, as they slow you down.  Brian had a point though, boneless thighs probably would fall apart in the sauce.

This was an easy weeknight dinner with incredible flavor.  And certainly something that we will be making again and again!
