Re: Weekly menu 10/19
Can I just say...you guys are awesome!!!
I'm not a great cook, so seeing how you plan out your week's menu is just mind-bogling to me.
We don't walk in the door at night until 630p, but I want to become more regimented when it comes to dinner.
What time do you usually get dinner on the table?

We don't eat until around 7pm. I work until 6 but usually leave 20 minutes to 6 to pick up my kids from After Care. Then we settle them in, get homework started, get dinner started, help with homework, clear up homwork, set the table and serve.

Here you go 
For the chicken:
2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs (you could also do bone-in - it will taste better)
1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 minced garlic clove
1 lime’s juice
2 tsp salt
Place a cup of water and the remaining ingredients except for the chicken in a double-bagged gallon size zip top bag. Add the rinsed chicken (always rinse meats before using) to bag, toss it up a bit with a spoon and seal, pressing out as much air as possible. Marinate / brine for no longer than 3 or 4 hours but at least 2, turning and rearranging a couple of times.
If you do not have time to marinate - no biggie it will still taste good. 20 minutes is fine.
The rest:
1 large chopped green/red/yellow/orange sweet pepper
1 large chopped yellow onion
6 cloves garlic
1 tsp oregano
1 fat pinch of saffron (or you could use a packet of Sazon Goya w/ achiote and culantro)
2 medium size bay leaves
1/2 cup Virgin olive oil
1 small can tomato sauce (like Hunt's)
2 1/2 cups Valencia or Arborio or some sort of risotto rice
3 1/2 cups chicken broth
1 bottle beer
Peas - optional and to your liking
After the chicken has soaked long enough, take it out and dry it on and off with some paper towels. To your dutch oven that has been gathering momentum for the past 5 minutes over medium high heat, add 1/4c of the oil. place as many chicken parts in there you can without crowding. You are trying to give the chicken some nice brown crust, so as much of it should be in contact with the pan. Brown on the other side and place browned chicken in a dish covered with foil (loosely). Repeat with remaining chicken.
Add the other 1/4c of oil and when ready, add the chopped onion and pepper, reducing the heat to medium now. Cook for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, scraping up the browned chicken bits off the pan.
Add the minced garlic and cook for another 4-5 minutes until all these veggies are nice and soft and . Add the oregano, the bay leaves and the saffron (or Sazon) and stir some more, until the saffron fragrance tapers (1-2 min). Now add the tomato sauce cook this down for a few minutes so as to be more pasty than watery.
Throw in the chicken and it’s juices collected in the plate, making sure to toss all this together to coat the chicken in the sofri. This goes on for another 3-4 minutes. Now, add the rice and toss that with the chicken for a few minutes. Add a generous helping of salt. Finally, add the 3.5 cups of broth, mix and bring to a boil. Stir, cover and reduce heat to as low as possible on your range. Let that cook for 20-30 minutes but do NOT uncover or peek!
Your rice is cooked now and there is still some liquid in the pot amongst the rice. Check the seasoning and add more salt if needed. Pour the beer in cover and let sit for 10 minutes (with the heat turned off).
At the end top with peas and stir in - serve and enjoy.
