First up, for dinner was the Chicken Caprese Flatbreads. This one I sort of winged. I can see the pin, and click on it, but no matter how hard I try, I can't seem to scroll down and see the recipe. But I sort of got the idea from the picture, so I just rolled with it. Maybe you'll have better luck.
I'm not sure why it never occurred to me to grill the bread dough like that, but it's a fabulous idea! I used chicken thighs because I like them, and they shred well, and excluded the arugula and pesto, in favor of garlic oil. I also strategically placed the tomatoes between the chicken and the cheese to avoid the whole warm tomato conundrum. (There's a good chance you won't have to do that, since you're probably not as weird about hot tomatoes as I am, but in case you are, it worked perfectly!)
Conclusion: Perfect dinner for a super hot and humid summer day!
Next up, for dessert was Peach Cobbler. Now, I LOVE peach cobbler. It's one of my most favorite desserts. However, it's quite difficult to make when you don't have really good peaches, which is the whole reason I chose this recipe. It used canned peaches as opposed to fresh, which is a good thing since it's not quite peach season time yet. I had a bit of problem with the pin not matching the recipe; it's basically 2 recipes in one. And seeing as I misread and forgot the self rising flour, there was a bit of finessing of the recipe - AP Flour mixed with baking powder seemed to do the trick. I also had to bake it for a full hour as opposed to the 45 minutes. I probably would have baked it longer, since I was dreaming of a crispy top, but the master baker prevailed and I finally took it out. It was no where near what I was expecting. In the photo it looks all nice and crisp and crunchy on top. Mine was neither, but...
Conclusion: It was pretty darn tasty with vanilla ice cream! Delish!
Looks like it was a 2 for 2 evening in the kitchen - love it when that happens!
