Quirky Heroines, Happy Endings

Recipe Wednesday – Chicken Kiev

Photo courtesy of AllRecipes.com

On occasion, this geek gal likes to try her hand at new recipes in the kitchen. I’m not a great cook, but I know what tastes good and how to alter a recipe.

Unfortunately, I also like to pick complicated recipes that try my patience. (Don’t ask why, it’s just the way I’m built – I like a challenge.)

¼ cup butter, softened
1 tbs. chopped fresh chives or parsley
2 cloves of finely chopped garlic OR 2 tbs. chopped garlic from the jar
6 boneless, skinned chicken breast halves
12 toothpicks
3 cups cornflakes, crushed to 1 ½ cups
2 tbs. fresh chopped parsley
½ tsp paprika
¼ buttermilk or milk
Salt and pepper to taste

Mix softened butter, chives and garlic. Shape the mixture into a rectangle, like a stick of butter, then freeze for about 30 min. You will be slicing this later.

Pre-heat oven to 425 degrees. Grease a 13 x 9 pan. WITH BUTTER

Pound the chicken breast halves until they are as flat as possible – ½ – ¼” thick. I salt and pepper the meat, but that’s up to you.

Get your butter mixture. Slice it into six pieces. Place one piece on the center of chicken breast half. Fold the long ends of the chicken breast over the butter, then the short sides. Secure with toothpick.

Mix cornflakes, parsley and paprika. Dip chicken into buttermilk then coat evenly in the mixtures. Place the chicken in the pan, seam sides down.
Bake for about 35 min, uncovered. Remove toothpicks.

Retro Saturday – Slow Jams

essential Isley brothersA party on Saturday wasn’t fun unless you brought the slow jams out.  After the fast dancing, where you got sweaty, a slow song was just the thing to keep the heart rate up while the feet got a rest. Some of the time, that was when most people took a seat and you saw who the real couples were.

Let’s take a look at some old-school retro slow jams today.  Maybe you can whip them out on your significant other later on today.

Enjoy!

Between the Sheets – The Isley Brothers

The Isley Brothers knew how to sweet talk a woman with their 1983 hit “Between the Sheets” .  Though a little fast for a “slow jam” it still got the blood moving in the right direction with the smooth melody and sexy words.

Sade-Is it a Crime?

Sade, Sade, Sade…there’s more in that one name than anything else.  She was the queen of slow jams and quiet storms over the nation.  No matter who you were, you could name at least one Sade song.

DeBarge – “All this Love”

My laws, El DeBarge was the one!  I saw him on an awards show recently and he still looked good.  You can’t tell me that El didn’t bring it with “All This Love”.  I still love this song.

The Stylistics – Betcha By Golly Wow

I know I’m reaching way back for this one, but it’s a good one.

Prince-  “Do Me Baby”

Yes, Me’lisa Morgan had her version, but it’s Prince’s song. Nuff said.
