Guests for Dinner

I wanted to make chicken last night, but I did not know what I wanted to do. I decided to try to make the Italian Chicken (previous post) in the oven, instead of in the crock pot like the original recipe. I also used Sherry instead of White Wine. I like the white wine better, it gives a more distinct flavor. Or maybe it was b/c it was baked in the oven for an hour and not in a crock pot for 8 hours. It was still very tasty though! I also added a small can of mushrooms, I was thinking about it last time but did not. The meal consisted of: Salad Italian Chicken Corn Instant Mashed Potatoes I was going to make homemade potatoes, but then got lazy. I knew I had a bunch of packs of instant ones, so I decided to make 2 of those. 2 girl friends came over, and my boyfriend ate as well. I'm not used to cooking for more than 2. Everything turned out well though, and I think everyone enjoyed the food. A friend came late, and I had a plate saved for him. I was disappointed in myself b/c once I made my plate I realized everything was yellow/white in color, and that's a big no-no in the cooking world! Oh well...
