Since I had a couple of extra chicken thighs left from my chicken cacciatore last night, as well as some mushrooms, I decided to make chicken au champagne with the leftovers. Chicken thighs were an awesome stand-in for the usual chicken breast (and a bit smaller). Instead of doing the brown rice pilaf I generally do, I opted for wild rice with brussels sprouts, using olive oil instead of the duck fat called for in the recipe. The result? So, so good, and so easy. I see more of this and less of eating out in my near future.

My chicken cacciatore over creamy polenta, served with sauteed broccolini. Definitely hit the spot! And the ingredients were pretty easy to find, all in one store today!

We stumbled upon the Spatenhaus, and decided to try it out. The beer was wonderful, as to be expected, but the food was also wunderbar! Pictured here, veal meatballs in a cognac – cream – pepper sauce with mashed potatoes. Sehr gut!
