This Weekend in Hedonism (Segment 3)

Cheryl’s Recipe Corner!

Rangoon Stuffed Chicken

Description

In one of my kitchen adventures, I decided to try mixing together a few of our favorite things… I’m pretty sure that it was a winner for Russ.

Ingredients

2 Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts

8 oz Cream Cheese, softened

1/2 Cup Sliced Green Onions

2 Tablespoons Honey

Dash of Worcestershire Sauce

Salt, to taste

Pepper, to taste

Garlic Powder, to taste

5 eggs, beaten

Panko Crumbs

Thai Sweet Chili Sauce

Directions

Using a meat mallet, flatten chicken as thinly as possible on a cutting board without causing the chicken to break down and develop holes. Set aside. Mix together cream cheese, green onion, honey, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper and garlic powder together. Place the cream cheese mixture on half (short side) of one of the flattened chicken breasts, then fold over. Repeat on second chicken breast.  Reserve a few tablespoons of the filling to garnish your prepared chicken breasts. Place beaten eggs in a bowl that you can dip the chicken in.  In another bowl (that you can dip the chicken in), place panko flakes. Dip chicken in egg, then panko, then re-dip in egg, following up with panko (you’ll want to “press” panko onto the chicken to make sure it is well coated). Place chicken in a well greased baking dish and bake at 400 degrees for 20 minutes (I prepare mine in an air fryer).  Once done I place a dollop of the filling on top of each chicken breast and drizzle Sweet Thai Chili Sauce on top.

Russ’s Drink Corner

Buffalo Trace Kentucky Straight Bourbon

Description

Ancient buffalo carved paths through the wilderness that led American pioneers and explorers to new frontiers. One such trail led to the banks of the Kentucky River where Buffalo Trace Distillery has been making bourbon whiskey the same way for more than 200 years. In tribute to the mighty buffalo and the rugged, independent spirit of the pioneers who followed them, we created our signature Buffalo Trace Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey.
