A pre-christmas trial dinner today!
Baked a orange marinated chicken, along with homemade herbs & garlic butter shortcrust pastry and a homebaked orange cake with creamcheese frosting 😋
Chicken is so juicy and nicely marinated with the orange juice and herbs. Loved to baked chicken in my ninjafoodi, always gives me crispy skin and juicy meat!
Hub love the shortcrust pastry christmas tree, the homemade herbs & garlic butter was so tasty! I think oldest love it too as she asked for more of it! I totally love the spread cos it makes the whole pastry smells and taste so great! Crusty and filled with garlicky herb fragrance ❤️
The orange cake was moist and goes super well with the creamcheese frosting! I love the slight tangy taste from the creamcheese frosting that compliments the orange fragrance from the cake. My eldest says ‘The white thing is so GOOD!’ and I agree with her too!
