Meal Train Chicken

At my church we set up "Meal Trains" when women have a baby, someone falls ill, or a family just needs a helping hand. An organizer sets up someone to take the family a big meal every few days so they don't have to worry about 1 thing during a hectic time. This is my wife's passion, and she has frozen lasagnas ect. waiting at any time someone needs a hand. This time....she asked me to do the meal for our friends that just had #3 under 3 years old.

I cooked something up and leaned it towards a Puerto Rican spice profile for my friend's roots. Here it is. I didn't get to plate it, and I don't know how it tasted.

Made a paste rather than rub. EVOO, sea salt, pepper, little cumin and dark chili powder, 6 pieces of garlic, red onion and onion powder. My big helper man, excited to make a meal for "aunt molly".

Chicken rubbed down, and did a bloomin onion with a new trick. Slipped slits of butter in each cut, and let it melt down/cook evenly. Did it 3/4 on skillet, and then transferred to foil to let it steam and softenup.

Final product looked great, and smelled great. And hopefully that plus baked potatoes, watermellon and canteloupe satisfied the family.

You keep making meals like that and word gets out, people in your church are gonna start having kids left and right! Haha. :)
 
Everything looks great and I'm sure they were happen to get that great cook. That type of kindness is always great to see and read about.
 
Luke,
Great job!
I can vouch as a recipient of many of these meals that they are Tremedously appreciated! 1 thing that I didn't have to worry about for an extremely stressful 6 months ....

Our neighborhood also organizes these types of meals for elderly, sick, newborns....

Great job!
