Our Favorite Dinner

Our dinners during the week generally consist of a protein, a starch and a colorful veggie.  This meal has two starches so it is a guilty pleasure, once in a while, treat.

Oven fried boneless skinless chicken thighs with gravy, smashed rosemary red potatoes and our favorite corn (canned Butter Kernel select super sweet with the gold foil label).
