Rice and Beans

Method

Chicken Cordon Bleu Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound them to about 1/2 inch thickness using a meat mallet.

  2. 2

    Stuff the Chicken

    Lay a slice of ham and a slice of Swiss cheese on each chicken breast. Roll them up tightly and secure with toothpicks.

  3. 3

    Coat the Chicken

    Set up a breading station with three bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs mixed with salt and pepper. Dredge each chicken roll in flour, dip in the egg, and coat in breadcrumbs.

  4. 4

    Cook the Chicken

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil and butter over medium heat. Add the chicken rolls and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown. Transfer to a baking dish and bake for 15-20 minutes until cooked through.

Mushroom Sauce Preparation

  1. 5

    Sauté the Ingredients

    In the same skillet used for the chicken, add sliced mushrooms and minced garlic. Sauté for about 5 minutes until mushrooms are tender.

  2. 6

    Make the Sauce

    Add the chicken broth, heavy cream, and Dijon mustard to the skillet. Stir well and let it simmer for 5-7 minutes, seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.

Spanish Potatoes Preparation

  1. 7

    Prepare the Potatoes

    In a bowl, toss diced potatoes with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.

  2. 8

    Cook the Potatoes

    Spread the potatoes on a baking sheet and roast in the oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 25-30 minutes until golden and crispy.

Rice and Beans Preparation

  1. 9

    Cook the Rice

    In a medium saucepan, bring water and salt to a boil. Add the rice, reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for about 18-20 minutes until the rice is tender.

  2. 10

    Heat the Beans

    In a small pot, heat the black beans over low heat until warmed through, about 5 minutes.
