CORN!!!
To start, the next episode in my characters misadventures is up, here.
Next a recipe I put together. It's a modification on stuffed chicken breasts.
Ingredients:
Enough boneless chicken breasts for each person to have one (I used 6 in mine).
Pancetta, prosciutto or bacon: enought for each chicken breast
ground oregano, fresh cracked black pepper
Olive oil
4 tablespoons of butter (melted)
4-5 cloves of garlic crushed
1 bundle of scallions
Monterey jack cheese, enough for a slice fer chicken breast
1 cup dry sherry, if you have it. If not, mix 1 cup chicken broth, 1 tablespoon red wine vinager, and a shot or two of tequila or vodka (again if you have it).
The cooking part:
Preheat oven to 350
Mix the crushed garlic and olive oil to make a simple rub and set aside.
First thing to do is flatten the breasts (skin side down) till you can roll them three to four times. Once you've got that, rub with the garlic/oil mix and sprinkle them with the oregano and pepper. Then some chopped scallions. Pat them down to help the spices stay. Then add a strip of bacon or your meat of choice. If you have a thin cut you can cover more of the exposed area. Then place the cheese in the same fashion. Roll each breast as best as you can and tie them with cooking twine.
Line a shallow roasting pan with foil and place the rolls in it. Pour the sherry, or broth mix, over the rolls then baste with the butter.
Cook for around a total of 35 minutes, basting with the broth and butter often.
Once done, set aside the rolls and tent with foil to keep the heat. Take the leftover liquid and drippings and make a gravy.
Perfect sides include mashed potatoes or bow-tie noodles.
Serve and enjoy.
