Chicken with Sourdough Mushroom Stuffing

By Anonymous -
*Crockpot recipe courtesy of Better Homes & Gardens

Ingredients:
2Tbsp finely shredded lemon peel
1Tbsp ground sage
1Tbsp seasoned salt
1 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
8 small chicken legs, thighs, or 4 combination leg-thigh pieces
1/4 c. butter
4 c. quartered or sliced mushrooms (any kind)
2 cloves of garlic, thinly sliced
sourdough baguette cut into cubes (approximately 8 cups)
1 c. shredded carrots
1 c. chicken broth
1/4 c. chopped and toasted walnuts (optional garnish)
3 Tbsp chopped flat leaf Italian parsley (optional garnish)

Lightly coat the inside of a 5 1/2 - 6 quart slow cooker with cooking spray. Reserve 1 tsp of the lemon peel. In a small bowl combine the remaining lemon peel, sage, seasoned salt, and pepper. Remove 3/4 of the mixture and rub on the chicken pieces. Place the chicken into the slow cooker.
Meanwhile, melt the butter in a large skillet and add the mushrooms and garlic. Cook and stir for 3 - 5 minutes or until just tender. Stire in the remaining sage mixture. Transfer the mushrooms into a large bowl. Add the bread cubes and shredded carrot. Drizzle with the chicken broth and toss gently. Lightly pack the stuffing on top of the chicken. Cover and cook on high setting for 4 - 5 hours.
When cooked, transfer to a platter. Garnish with remaining lemon peel, walnuts, and parsley. Makes 8 servings.

I made this yesterday for dinner, and Ernie liked it, but neither Gaby or I did. It was a little too salty for our tastes, and I thought the stuffing was a little wetter than I like it. I'm not sure I'll make this one again.

Hi Ainsley
Look, I hope you don't mind, but I found your blog using salmon as a search term. I'm trying to find original articles and recipes for my cooking websites.

I can and do use the article directories, but much of the stuff in them is hardly original and gets widely used. I'm hoping to persuade people like you, who have an interest in cooking, to contribute as well. I use a wide variety of articles and styles - just so long as it's food orientated - and I think the kind of things you write about in Chicken with Sourdough Mushroom Stuffing would be very popular :0)

The quid pro quo is a link back to your blog - or website if you have one. If this doesn't interest you, please forgive the intrusion. If it does, I look forward to hearing from you.

Best wishes

Dayton's Famous Pine Club Salad Dressing

By -
Well, close enough anyway. The Pine Club is probably Dayton's most famous restaraunt--not that Dayton is some culinary mecca or anything. This dressing is traditionally served on an iceberg lettuce salad with grated carrot (boring). It's a shame, really, since the dressing is so good but that's why it's better to eat it at home on the salad of your choice. I like it over a green salad with blue cheese, apples/pears and toasted walnuts/pecans, it's good with pasta salad and it's also good on Isaac's broccoli salad. Serves approximately 8. 1 C vegetable/canola oil 3/4 C cider vinegar 1/3 C white sugar 1 tsp salt 2 tsp garlic powder 1 scant tsp red pepper flakes You can mix this one of two ways: either pour it all into a mason jar, put on the lid and shake the heck out of it or do it up with your stick blender. I recommend using the stick blender. Either way it's delicious. Refrigerate leftovers and note that it keeps pretty well. I think I had my

Pesto Tortellini Salad

By -
Why don't we just re-name the blog "Recipes Kelly Stole from Isaac's" because I seem to have no other recipes amongst my repertoire. Sheesh. Again, this is not really a recipe, but this salad was, and still is, one of the biggest sellers at the restaurant. As with all of Isaac's recipes, I've drastically reduced the quantity from the original (5 lbs. of tortellini, anyone?) 1.5 lbs tri-colored cheese-filled tortellini (or regular white ones, whatever), cooked according to pkg directions and gently rinsed with cold water 1.5 medium-ish tomatoes, diced 1/2 medium-size red onion, diced 1/3 C black olives (do yourself a favor and get some decent olives) 2/3 C or so pesto (I did a mix of basil pesto and arugula pesto) Dump all ingredients into a bowl and stir until everything is well-coated by the pesto. This is tasty when served immediately but the flavor will continue to develop the longer it sits. As usual, I added 2 handfuls of chopped asparagus but wi

mango soba update

By gwen -
A small note to those of us trying to eat more veg, as Kelly would say... this soba noodle salad is delicious with slaw replacing some or all of the noodles. I made it with just one little bundle of noodles, a whole bag of broccoli slaw, and half a bag of cabbage/carrot mixture, and it's great -- actually provides a delicious crunch and you don't miss the rest of the noodles. I cooked the chicken in a bit of the marinade, too, and diced it into the salad/noodle/mango mixture for some protein. Yum.
