This week’s topics:

* “Cancel Culture” — what is it… what makes it go?

Here are the two graphs I spoke of… both are “Seven Day Moving Averages” — a very different narrative than you see on television news.  Read the article HERE

My daughter-in-law Susie joined ALL MARINE RADIO today, she’s one of Kim’s favorite “foodies” and is an INCREDIBLE cook herself.  Here is what we cover:

Stuffed Chicken Parmesan

*

Ingredients:

*

4 boneless skinless chicken breasts

*

1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese plus extra for topping

*

1 cup grated parmesan cheese

*

1/2 tsp dried oregano

*

1/2 tsp dried basil

*

1/2 tsp dried garlic powder

*

salt and pepper to taste

*

1 cup flour + pinch of salt

*

2 eggs beaten

*

1/4 cup whole milk

*

1 cup panko bread crumbs

*

Olive oil

*

1 jar of your favorite marinara sauce or you can make mine. Recipe below

*

1 lb pasta of your choice, I really like linguini

*

Directions:

*

Pound chicken breasts to thickness that is uniform and around 1/2 an inch thick. Using a paring knife make “pockets” in the chicken and stuff the cavities with the mixture in step 2

*

In a small bowl combine mozzarella, 1/2 the parmesan, dried herbs and garlic, salt and pepper

*

Set up dredging stations

*

Bowl 1 – flour and salt

*

Bowl 2 – eggs and milk

*

Bowl 3 – panko and parmesan

*

Run each stuffed chicken breast through each bowl and set on a plate. Preheat your oven to 400°

*

In a large skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Once oil is hot cook chicken 3-4 minutes until breadcrumbs are golden brown. The chicken will not be cooked through so once crisped in the skillet move to a 9×13 inch pan.

*

While you are starting to crisp the chicken also start a pot of boiling water, (salt that sucker like the ocean) for your pasta. This is also a good time to heat your sauce in a small sauce pan as well

*

Once you have finished crisping up the chicken and it’s in the baking dish, top each breast with a couple spoonfuls of sauce, a little mozzarella and parmesan. Bake 8-10 minutes or until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°. Times will vary depending on the size of your chicken

*

While chicken is cooking, cook pasta to box directions, reserve some of your pasta water, then drain pasta. DO NOT RINSE YOUR PASTA! Put pasta back in original pot and toss with warm sauce. If the sauce is too thick on the noodles, use some starchy pasta water to thin it out

*

I like to serve this with a garden salad….and a glass of wine. Cheers!

Ingredients:

*

1 TBSP olive oil

*

1 medium onion finely diced

In the midst of much turmoil in our country, we see reminders of what makes our experiment in democracy great — and that is American who no matter the circumstances, roll their sleeves up and do good things.  Three cheers for BBQ Chicken University!  Well done.
