my Italian fall menus

An easy to prepare menu that is good on a cool autumn day.

Second dish
Baked Chicken and Potatoes

Vegetables
Mixed salad (lettuce, tomatoes, carrots . . . no salad
dressing use olive oil).

Dessert
Apple Cake



Preparation tips:
This is really a cook's menu, because everything can be prepared in advance so the cook doesn't have to spend time in the kitchen once the meal starts. I suggest preparing the cake in the morning and then the while the Chicken is in the oven you can prepare the salad.

Wine Ideas:
Being a simple menu I'd suggest a Dolcetto d'Alba with the chicken and then a Moscato d'Asti with the cake.


Serving notes:
This dinner is fairly straight forward. I'd serve the chicken and potatoes first and then the salad with some fresh bread after.
