April 18, 2006 / / 0 Comments

Recipe Source: Down Home Soul Food Cooking Blog

Ingredients:

4 cups water
1/2 tsp. salt
1 cup uncooked quick-cooking grits
2 cups diced ham
1 cup (4 oz.) shredded extra-sharp Cheddar cheese
3 tbsp. butter
1 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
4 eggs, or 1 cup egg substitute
Cooking spray

Directions:

Combine water and salt in a large saucepan; bring to a boil. Stir in grits; cover, reduce heat, and simmer 5 min. or until grits are thick, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat. Add ham and next 3 ingredients; stir until butter melts. Gradually add eggs (or egg substitute), stirring well. Spoon grits mixture into 11 x 7″ baking dish coated with cooking spray. Cook immediately or cover and refrigerate up to 8 hrs.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Bake uncovered for 45 min. Let stand 5 minutes before serving.

Makes 6 (1 cup) servings.

Nicki’s Notes:

The original recipe calls for 96% fat-free ham, low-sodium Worchestire sauce, low fat cheese, and light butter. This is my modified (and better tasting to me) version. I’m not much of an egg eater, so the egg substitution made no taste difference to me.

Chicken Vesuvio

Recipe Source: Food Network

Prep/Cooking Time: 1 hour 10 minutes / 30 mins prep

Ingredients:

3 tablespoons olive oil
3 lbs chicken, cut up
1/3 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
10 small red potatoes, halved
4 large garlic cloves, minced
3/4 cup dry white wine
3/4 cup chicken broth
1 1/2 teaspoons dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried thyme
2 tablespoons unsalted butter

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Mix together flour, salt, and pepper. Heat the oil in large ovenproof pot over high heat. Coat the chicken w/the flour mixture and shake off excess. Cook the chicken in the pot until golden brown on all sides, about 10 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a large plate.

Carefully add the potatoes to the same pot and cook until they are golden brown, stirring occasionally, about 10 minutes. Add the garlic and saute for 1 minute. Add the wine and stir scraping up the brown bits on the bottom of the pot. Add the broth, oregano, and thyme.

Return the chicken to the pot. Stir gently to combine. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Cover and bake in the oven until the chicken is cooked through, about 20-30 minutes.

Transfer the chicken to a platter. Arrange the potatoes around chicken. Turn heat to low. Stir in the butter. Pour the sauce over chicken and potatoes, and serve.

Cornbread Dressing

March 23, 2006 / / 0 Comments

Recipe Source: Down Home Soul Food Cooking Blog

Ingredients:

2 large onions, chopped
6-8 c. cornbread, crumbled
6 large biscuits, crumbled
1 cup milk
6 eggs, beaten
1 stick butter, melted
1 T. sage, or to taste
1 T. poultry seasoning, or to taste
4 cans chicken broth
salt to taste
pepper to taste

Directions:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Mix crumbled cornbread and biscuits with sage, poultry seasoning, salt, pepper and onions. This can be done several hours before cooking to allow to dry out and let flavors meld together (I do this step the day before). Beat eggs and mix with milk, melted butter and chicken broth. Pour liquid mixture over bread mixture and mix well. Dressing batter should be very moist, almost soupy. Add more chicken broth, as needed to achieve the right consistency. Spray baking pans with non-stick cooking spray. Pour raw dressing into baking pans and bake until golden brown.

Chicken Voila

Recipe Source: allrecipes.com

Prep/Cooking Time: Prep Time: 15 Minutes / Cook Time: 25 Minutes

Ingredients:

4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves – cut into bite-size pieces
salt and pepper to taste
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 tablespoon butter
1 (14.5 ounce) can chicken broth

Directions:

Place chicken in a bowl, and season with salt, pepper and garlic. Sprinkle the flour over the chicken pieces and toss to coat.

Heat the oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Shake the excess flour off of the chicken, and reserve in the bowl. Place the chicken in the hot pan, and brown on all sides. Remove from the pan, and keep warm.

Whisk some of the chicken broth into the flour in the bowl until smooth. Stir this into the drippings in the skillet, then stir in the remaining broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, and return the chicken pieces to the skillet. Simmer over medium heat until the chicken is cooked through, and the sauce has thickened. Taste, and season with additional salt and pepper if desired.
