Chicken Kiev


So I saw a cooking show (DDD)where they made Chicken Kiev. Looked so good so I thought I would give it a shot!  Chicken breast with a bunch of herbs on the inside, breaded and fried!! Here it is!!

First I made the herbed butter. I used a stick, softened.  Chopped parsley, Thyme, I didn't have fresh rosemary so I used dried, and some dill.

Mix it up and then I put it into my long ice cube tray and put it into the freezer to save for later.

It calls for ground chicken. I didn't have any but I had boneless skinless chicken breast. I put it in the food processor and voila!


Since I had the food processor out, I threw the onion in there too.
And then the eggs... I still stuck to my 2 eggs per pound rule. Mixed up my chicken mixture and added a little bread crumbs to help it stick together and some salt and pepper.

Next, you take the chicken mixture, make it into a patty. put one of the frozen herbed butter sticks in the patty and then close it up around it. Make sure none of the butter is showing. It will look like a log.

Take 3 bowls add bread crumbs to one, flour to one and a couple of eggs scrambled in the third.

Dip the Chicken roll in the flour then the egg then the bread crumbs.

 I used a deep fryer and heated up to 325. When the oil was heated I added the chicken in and cooked it up.
It only took about 10 min to cook. I think because the chicken is ground so it doesn't take as long.
 Cook until golden brown. This is the finished product.


And when you cut into all that herbed goodness is on the inside!!

Lasagna

I'm a little behind in my postings because of Thanksgiving, family and being a little busy but that doesn't mean I was not cooking! I was in the kitchen. Knowing we were going to have Turkey and leftovers, I decided Lasagna was a perfect before Thanksgiving meal. Lasagna, such a simple meal. Cheesy ooey gooey deliciousness. I finally used the last of my sauce. I had maybe enough so I decided to add a can of petite diced tomatoes to my sauce just to make sure. I don't heat up the sauce before adding to the lasagna. First, its an extra step and it's going in the oven anyway and I also don't want to prematurely melt or cook cheese. I add sausage to mine for flavor. I usually use hot loose Italian sausage, but you can use link just peel off the casing before cooking, trust me I've done this MANY times. So I usually cook the sausage first and let it cool. Next, I mix up the ricotta. The rule for eggs, use 2 eggs per pound no matter what.This includes ricotta or mea...

Chicken Parm

Ok, It's Chicken Parm night. Not that it's a special night or anything but.... I made a pot of sauce the other night before I started this blog. I had used plum tomatoes from the garden. The last of them as it is November but I had blanched and pureed them and then froze it. Anyway, you can't make Chicken Parm without homemade sauce. Anyway, I take out 3 bowls, one I put flour in, add some pepper, the second I scrambled 2 eggs with a clove of garlic and the 3rd I added breadcrumbs Italian seasonings and grated parmesan. I cut the chicken breast put them in a plastic bag and pound them out thin. Dredge the chicken in the flour, eggs, and then breadcrumbs. Fry in olive oil Put them in baking dishes I spread sauce on the top, flipped it over and put sauce on the other side. Sprinkled some parmesan cheese on them grated mozzarella. Bake in the oven 350 until cheese is melted and bubbly. Of course, I cooked up some macaroni and topped with sauce for a full meal.  ...

Arroz con Pollo (chicken and rice)

I love this dish and there are so many variations. Most Latin and Caribbean countries have their own version of Arroz con Pollo and this one is mine. First, make the rice. I used 3 cups of water and then, of course, a packet of Sazon. While the rice is cooking, Cut up chicken. I use boneless breast but again, you can use whatever you wish. I cut them into small chunks and sautee them in some olive oil. I dice up an onion and add that when the chicken is almost done. I then add frozen peas once the onions are translucent. I put some minced garlic and another sazon packet in at this point as well. Once the peas are cooked and the rice is done, I dump the rice into the meat mixture and stir it up. I add Adobo generously, but careful not to add too much because it can become too salty. The bottle is with numerous holes for a reason so don't be scared! Mix it up well. Then I chop up fresh cilantro about a half a cup and stir. Serve. Feel free to serve it with Ahi, o...
