Chicken

Broccoli Rabe

Chive Potato Puffs

Method

Chicken

  1. 1

    Marinate Chicken

    In a bowl, combine lemon juice, minced garlic, olive oil, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade. Add the chicken breasts and coat them well. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Cook Chicken

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Remove chicken from the marinade and discard the marinade. Cook the chicken for 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

Broccoli Rabe

  1. 3

    Sauté Broccoli Rabe

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add sliced garlic and red pepper flakes and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Add trimmed broccoli rabe and sauté for 3-5 minutes until bright green and tender. Season with salt to taste.

Chive Potato Puffs

  1. 4

    Prepare Potatoes

    Boil the cubed potatoes in salted water until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and return to the pot.

  2. 5

    Make Puff Mixture

    Add butter, heavy cream, chopped chives, salt, and pepper to the drained potatoes. Mash until smooth and well combined.

  3. 6

    Form and Bake

    Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Shape the potato mixture into small puffs or balls. Dip each puff into the beaten egg and coat with breadcrumbs. Place on a baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
