What's Cooking?

Cold and blowing snow all day.  Perfect for a batch of chicken and dumplings.  May start cooking the chicken and making broth about noon.  House will be smelling good.

That sounds like a good idea. I think I might make duck or pheasant carnitas..

What a difference a day makes or in this case a change in cut of meat. As old folks we like chicken cordon bleu. We have always butterflied the breast for this dish. Lately we have been buying thighs. I prefer them to breasts for most dishes. Finally tried them in cordon Bleu last night. I butterflied the thicker side of the thigh so it would cook evenly. Breaded and baked the thighs first in the oven (instead of pan frying) then topped open faced with the Swiss and ham. Back into oven for another 10 mins. Once done topped it with a white sauce with brown mustard added. Best cordon Bleu that I have had. Looks like a keeper from now on.

Made tabouli yesterday to go with fried chicken today.

Tried a new technique on the chicken. It was good, but was fussy, and it resembled the KFC extra crispy version. The version the original colonel called fried dough balls.

An interesting process and much more time involved than I would have ever imagined.
