I want to try this chicken recipe that calls for browning the chicken, then putting it in the oven with some oil, garlic, shallots, parsley, sage, and thyme for an hour or so.
I really don't feel like blowing almost $10 on packages of fresh parsley, sage, and thyme for only one recipe. So, I was wondering if, instead of buying those herbs, would it work out all right if I shook some dried Herbs de Provence into the oil?
(Herbs de Provence is a mixture of rosemary, marjoram, basil, savory, bay leaf and thyme. I just have a little McCormick brand shaker full of the dried, chopped herbs.)
Also, I know that when using dried herbs you use 1/3 the amount that you'd use for fresh herbs -- but the recipe calls for "a few pieces each" of the parsley, sage, and thyme. How much of the Herbs de Provence should I use?
