CHICKEN IN GRANDMAMA LEONTINE’S WAY

Ingredients

4 chicken legs, 200g carrots, 400g mushrooms, 150g diced bacon, 2 shallots, 4 sprigs of parsley, 300g cream (soy with me) 200ml white wine pepper, 100ml water, salt and chicken seasoning.

Preparation

Finely chop the shallots, peel the carrots and cut into thin slices. Clean and slice the mushrooms. Melt the butter and a dash of olive oil in a deep saucepan. Fry the chicken drumsticks on all sides until nicely golden brown for 15 min. Season with chicken seasoning to spice up the sauce. Remove them from the pan after frying. Add the shallots to the pan and stew briefly, then add the sliced carrots and the bacon to the pan and stew thoroughly while stirring. For about 5 minutes on a high heat. After 5 minutes, add the mushrooms and continue to cook, stirring, for a further 5 minutes, adding pepper as required… Remove the vegetables from the pan. Now deglaze the pan with the wine and water and let the sediment dissolve. Put the vegetables and the chicken back into the pan and let it simmer on a low heat for about 20 minutes… when you see that the meat comes off the bone, it’s ready. For the last 10 minutes, add the cream, season well with salt and pepper, and thicken the sauce if it is still too thin. Our grandmother liked her sauce thick. You can serve with croquettes, fries or rice.

4 small chicken breasts, olive oil, 1 clove of garlic, 1 large onion, 1 box of diced tomatoes, pizza seasoning or Italian seasoning, chili pepper flakes, fresh basil leaves, one cup of red pesto, one ball of mozzarella, water, salt and pepper.

Preparation of chicken pieces :

Take the chicken fillets, place them on a cutting board, take a sheet of foil and beat them with a meat mallet until they are slightly flatter. Fry the chicken pieces in a pan with olive oil and chicken seasoning. Remove the chicken pieces from the pan and keep aside. Preheat the oven to 200°C.

Preparation of tomato sauce :

Chop the onion, the garlic finely. Take the same pan from the chicken fillets. Put olive oil in the pan and add the onion and garlic and stew until translucent. Add the diced tomatoes and simmer on low heat. Now add the herbs as desired, taste occasionally. Tear the basil leaves finely by hand and add to the sauce. Let it simmer and then add a little water. Add two spoonfuls of red pesto to the sauce. Taste, if the sauce tastes a little sour because of the tomatoes, add a pinch of sugar and season with salt. Keep tasting until the balance is right.

TURKEY ROLLS WITH ASPARAGUS AND LEMON
image

Ingredients for 4 persons

500 g turkey steaks, thin slices of bacon 16 if they are narrow slices, 1 cup of asparagus, 500 g pasta of your choice, 15 cl white wine, 4 slices of pecorino cheese or 1 box of Pana Grado flakes, 1 tablespoon of freshly chopped parsley or dried from the spice rack is also okay, 5 tablespoons lemon juice, 1 chicken stock cube or marmite, flour, onion, butter, olive oil, salt and pepper.

Preparation

Drain the asparagus. Cut the turkey in half, if they are too thick, flatten them with a meat tenderizer (put the meat under a plastic sheet and hammer it), so that they can be rolled up easily. If you already have thin slices, this procedure is not necessary. Take a meat board and lay four strips of bacon horizontally under each other, overlapping them a very small amount. I used Herta breakfast bacon which are very finely cut and easy to manipulate to roll up. Take the turkey steak and lay it on the bacon strips also horizontally about 1 cm from the edge of the bacon, on the right side. Top the turkey slices with the cheese, if you are using flakes you may use a fair amount of cheese per slice. Lay the asparagus on top of that, cut to the width of the slice, do not discard the excess. Put about 4 asparagus in between. Now roll up the roll from left to right and press firmly at the end, cover the rolls with the bacon and insert a toothpick to keep everything closed. Heat a pan with olive oil and a little solo, fry the rolls brown on all sides, remove from the pan. Chop the onion. Squeeze out a lemon so you have about 5 tablespoons of lemon. Taste the lemon, if it is really tart you may add a little sugar so that the sourness is broken a little, careful not to taste sweet. You need the sourness for the sauce. Heat again a tablespoon of olive oil and butter in the same pan and stew the finely chopped onion on a low heat. After 2 minutes sprinkle two tablespoons of flour over the onion and fry for about 30 seconds. Now add the wine, 15 cl of water, the lemon and the bouillon cube or marmite. If you use a cube, crumble it. Place the rolls in the sauce and leave to simmer for 10 minutes covered over a low heat. Turn the rolls halfway through the cooking time. Add the leftover asparagus in 1 cm cubes. Season with salt and pepper, taste the sauce if it is still too sour you can add a little sugar. Just before serving, shred the parsley and add it to the dish. Serve very hot with delicious pasta !

CAJUN CHICKEN STUFFED WITH PEPPER-JACK CHEESE & SPINACH

Ingredients

1 lb Boneless, skinless chicken breasts, 4 oz pepper-jack cheese shredded, 1 cup frozen spinach, thawed and well-drained, sea salt, frechly grounded black pepper, 2 tbsp cajun seasoning, 1 tbsp italian style dry breadcrumbs, 2 tbsp olive oil, lots of toothpicks

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Pound to flatten the chicken to 1/4-inch thickness. In a medium bowl, combine the pepper-jack cheese, spinach, salt and pepper. Combine the Cajun seasoning and breadcrumbs together in a small bowl; set aside. Spoon about 1/4 c of the spinach mixture onto each chicken breast. Roll each chicken breast tightly and fasten the seams with several toothpicks. This part requires a tiny bit of skill, and I typically use about 8 toothpicks in each roll to ensure none of the filling seeps out. Be sure to count how many total toothpicks were used so you can remove that same number! Brush each chicken breast with the olive oil. Sprinkle the Cajun seasoning mixture evenly over all. Sprinkle any remaining spinach and cheese on top of chicken (optional). Place the chicken seam-side up onto a tin foil-lined baking sheet (for easy cleanup). Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through.Remove the toothpicks before serving. Count to make sure you have removed every last toothpick. Serve whole or slice into medallions

Tips

If you have little ones eating this or your spice tolerance is fairly low, halve the amount of Cajun seasoning and double the breadcrumbs.

They’ll be done when you decide they are.After 8 hours, remove the chicken and shred with two forks. Return chicken to crockpot. Mix it thoroughly with the barbecue sauce, and cook for another 15-30 minutes until sauce is more absorbed.
