Four Foods on Friday #28

May 9th, 2008

Filed Under FFoF |

Here’s this week’s Four Foods on Friday post. If you’d like to participate, head on over to Val’s place.

#1. How do you make chicken salad? I don’t. Not a fan of chicken salad despite liking all of the ingredients.

#2. Fast food chicken. What fast food restaurant makes the best chicken? Raising Cane’s uses the best quality chicken and it’s almost always juicy but their breading is bland. If they breaded that with KFC’s batter, I’d be a happy girl!

#3. What’s your favorite way to eat chicken? With fingers, fork, chopsticks, skewers…whatever gets it to my mouth! If you mean how I’d like it prepared, I’m not picky but one of my favorites is macnut crusted chicken breast. Mmmm.

#4. Share a recipe using chicken or take a picture of a chicken dish.

Chicken Cordon Bleu

INGREDIENTS
6 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
6 slices Swiss cheese
6 slices ham
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon paprika
6 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup dry white wine
1 teaspoon chicken bouillon granules
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 cup heavy whipping cream

DIRECTIONS
Pound chicken breasts if they are too thick. Place a cheese and ham slice on each breast within 1/2 inch of the edges. Fold the edges of the chicken over the filling, and secure with toothpicks. Mix the flour and paprika in a small bowl, and coat the chicken pieces. Heat the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat, and cook the chicken until browned on all sides. Add the wine and bouillon. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 30 minutes, until chicken is no longer pink and juices run clear.

Remove the toothpicks, and transfer the breasts to a warm platter. Blend the cornstarch with the cream in a small bowl, and whisk slowly into the skillet. Cook, stirring until thickened, and pour over the chicken. Serve warm.

[...] Angie shared a recipe for Chicken Cordon Bleu. She thinks the best fast food chicken would be Raising Cane’s chicken in KFC’s batter. [...]

Macnut crusted chicken breast, is that like chopped nuts in the batter? I’m trying to imagine this and it’s making me hungry LOL.

Chopped macnuts in the panko bread crumbs used to coat the chicken. Add some herbs to taste and fry in a little olive oil…MMMM.
