Default What to serve on the side?

Close, but I can tell the difference.

Sounds yummy!

Here's what we ended up having:

Chicken Marbella without the parsley (I forgot to add it at the end)
on a bed of
Pastina with butter, garlic, salt, and pepper
and sides of
Green beans with butter and salt
and
Tomato salad (tomatoes, extra-virgin olive oil, salt)

It was pronounced yummy by all, and I'll certainly make it again,
probably for company, because we only ate around half of it (7 leg
quarters among the 4 of us, and I'm not sure how the others managed two
apiece, but hey, I'm glad they liked it).
