This is my super awesome chicken cutlet mix. It takes a few minutes to put together, but I make the flake/spice mixture once a month and use it whenever I decide to make my baby his favorite dinner (and when I say baby, I mean grown man, although it works for children as well!)
Ingredients for coating:
4 cups corn flakes crumbs
4 cups whole wheat crumbs (you can easily be exchange it for any flavored or home made crumbs.)
1 regular size bag of corn flakes -once over in a dry food processor should do or just have your kids play with the sealed bag! (throw it in an large zip lock first if you go that route.)
Ingredients:
Boneless chicken thighs, or turkey
Mushrooms, diced
Garlic, diced
Onions, diced
Red Pepper, diced
1 large can of Tomatoe Sauce
4 tablespoons of brown sugar
2 teaspoons of vinegar
Directions:
Pound the chicken until nice and flat. Saute the mushrooms, garlic, onions and red pepper until golden and crisp. (you can season it with salt, pepper and garlic to add some flavor) Then layer the mixture on top of the thinned out chicken leaving some of the veggie mixture on the side for later use) and roll them up tight and tie it up. (I use twine) Brown the chicken thighs in a frying pan. Add some salt and paprika. Then place it in a pan with tomato sauce, brown sugar, vinegar and the remainder of the veggie mixture. Bake for about 30 minutes.
Ingredients:
Quinoa
Portabello mushrooms
1 head of garlic
Ground Chicken thigh
1 onion diced
1 jalapenio cut, diced
cilantro, chopped
1 egg
Cumin, salt & turmeric to spice
Directions:
Prepare quinoa as directed on box. (I used red quinoa but you could use regular) Saute the garlic in oil until nice and crispy however not burnt, then add the sliced mushrooms. While the mushrooms cook, prepare the burgers. Add the diced onion, jalapenio, cilantro and egg to the ground chicken. Spice it with Salt, Cumin and Turmeric. Mix well. Form patties and fry in a pan or bake in the oven on high for about 5 minutes each side. Serve with the Quinoa & Mushrooms.
* If u don’t want the heat of the jalapenios just remove the seeds inside, but I like the bite! The chicken burgers can also be served in a bun with your favorite burger toppings.
My cousin Sarah (Abe) Mamiye – (who is- by the way – known for her gourmet cooking)- sent in a recipe that she adapted from her sister-in-law Carol Azizo. The recipe will serve at least 16 people.
