I look around the internet quite a bit for recipes for dinner, just to keep things from getting boring. The problem I have is that most recipes are either over-the-top (like I'm a french chef!) or obviously plain and boring. I usually end up morphing what I find into something of my own, so I'm going to start adding these here so I can both share, and remember what I did in case I want to do it again. That's another big problem of mine, I just don't remember a lot of my creations!
For my main course I made Chicken Wellington Casserole - turned out great! I mixed up rotisserie chicken (the breasts), cream cheese (3-4 oz), cream of chicken and herb (a few spoonfuls), garlic (a bunch), green onion (2-3), black pepper, then encased the mixture in crescent roll. Baked 350 for 20 minutes. Yum!
Next (this was the under fire part) I cooked pan-fried corn. For this one I added olive oil into a pan to brown the corn ears. Please note that as the corn heats up, the steam in the kernels makes them go POP! Then the juices hit the hot oil and suddenly you and your kitchen are under attack! I kept turning it down, but it kept firing! After sopping up as much excess oil as possible, I added 1/2 cup of water mixed with 1 Tbs of apple cider vinegar, some onion and garlic and VERY quickly covered it. Cooked it until the kernels were done (toothpick in a kernel should be soft, not crunchy) about 10-15 minutes. I came out relatively unscathed and the corn was great!
