I talked about this in the main post that because the mixture is quite wet, it didn't stick quite as well as dried herbs, but enough of them did stay put on the chicken.<BR/><BR/>I then put the chicken into the pan, but did not dump the other liquid in - our chicken seared just fine (as you can see in the picture).<BR/><BR/>I'm sure you cook out that extra liquid later if you wanted, but there really isn't that much to work with.Joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12900263145684208002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14099844.post-16988694412547601242008-07-29T20:32:00.000-04:002008-07-29T20:32:00.000-04:00Tastes great, but what are you supposed to do with...Tastes great, but what are you supposed to do with the liquid and basil/onions the chicken is in? I put it in the pan with the chicken and the amount of liquid prevented a sear on the chicken. Too much liquid! And the chicken was not attractive. Maybe the liquid should be reduced in the pan after the chicken is cooked and put on the pasta. The aioli is delicious.Paul Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10018878360730489134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14099844.post-49723187017023013312008-07-28T21:59:00.000-04:002008-07-28T21:59:00.000-04:00Katrina - Once those basil plants take off, they s...Katrina - Once those basil plants take off, they seem to never stop growing!Joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12900263145684208002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14099844.post-48815494515620033772008-07-28T14:10:00.000-04:002008-07-28T14:10:00.000-04:00Yum!
