Majic Chicken

So I made my 5 pound chicken in the majic pot tonight!!!! Let me start this by saying when cooking a whole chicken in meals past....Robert handles this not I. This is my first experience with a whole....raw...nasty chicken. I could have lived my life and never cleaned out the "goodies" inside a bird and been perfectly happy with my life, just saying! So, cleaned the bird up and plopped it in the pot. See, fits nicely. Like the chicken was grown to fit in the majic pot..... Because it would totally make to much sense to say they made the majic pot to fit a 5 pound chicken...but whatev. This wonderful dish only has 2 ingredients:
One tablespoon of olive oil and any seasoning you wish, that's it! Pretty simple huh?
I got my bird all lubed and seasoned and ready to go...that sounds aweful!
And popped that bad boy in the microwave for 30 minutes. Now, Betty Crocker I am not! While my wonderful dish was cooking in the microwave....I made instant potatos, frozen veggies and cresant rolls. Easy dinner but delicious.
And tada! The bird is done. Looks yummy I know! Super juicy. This pot works out wonderful because Robert HATES cooking chicken. He's always afraid he will under cook it...so it just dries the hell out of it.
Dinner was super tasty. To top it off...Blake was sleeping and Devon was still gone with his sister! That's right....Robert and I got to eat dinner alone!! Not that it was romantic or anything...Robert turned on UFC... I guess if you like watching 2 guys beat the crap out of each other, blood flying, while you are eating dinner...then the romance lives on.
All in all....first dish with the majic pot was a total success! So happy I invested in one!

The Majic Begins!!!

Lookie at the wonderful package that was waiting on my doorstep when I got home from work today. Let the choirs sing "Hallelujah". It's like Christmas...you don't even know!
Yay! It wasn't on backorder that long at all. That was close!
See how pretty it looks on the stove? It was ment to be in my house...we are like kindred spirits! Let's see how many times I use it in the first month alone.
Already have my 5 pound chicken defrosting for tomorrow night! Chicken, mashed pototoes, corn on the cob...I'm even going to make biscuits on my new stone as well! Life is grand!

Majic Pot on backorder?!?!

WTF! I have wanted this majical cooking creation since the first time I witnessed it baking a 5 pound chicken in the MICROWAVE in 30 minutes at Sabrena's Pampered Chef party.
So, last week at my pampered chef party I KNEW that I was going to order at least this majical number. I clearly needed this in my life. Being Betty Crocker doesn't come easy for this girl.
I closed out my party on Wenesday with my Pampered Chef consultant, Becki. She informed me the order would arrive in about a week. Ok, cool! Sounds great! On Friday I got an email saying the order would be delivered SATURDAY!!!!! I was stoked! You don't even know! I already had my meal all planned out for Sunday. I was going to make my amazing 5 pound microwave chicken, mashed potatoes, corn on the cob and some buscuits! Yummy! I even went to Kroger after work yesterday before I picked up the kids to get all the neccessities.
The Fed Ex guy arrives! Yay....pampered chef time! I get everyones orders together and realize........NO MAJIC POT!!! The damn thing is on backorder! Really? I for once in my life had a wonderful family dinner planned on Sunday and the Gods at Pampered Chef laughed at it. No idea when it will be in either. Crap! So now I have to figure out what to do with this 5 pound chicken...i want my pot. On the upside....I did get all the receipes that I could cook with my majic pot so when if finally decideds to grace me with its presence.....I will have tons of stuff to cook and totally get my money out of it!
