Walnut-Crusted Chicken Breast
I almost never order a nut-crusted entrée in a restaurant, as it often features a sugary glaze or an overly sweet nut, like pecan or macadamia. That's not an issue with this walnut chicken. Buttery, subtly bitter walnuts coat the chicken, attached with a savory "nut glue" made with a garlic and mustard base. This protective layer of deliciousness makes boneless, skinless chicken breast taste like it was just carved off a freshly roasted chicken.
Braised Venison with Rosemary and Shiitake
Try my savory and sophisticated braised venison with rosemary and shiitake recipe, which I created to please my hunter. I like to serve this with spaetzle, Merlot, and a salad.
Slow Cooker Collard Greens
Got this from a coworker who made these for the office holiday potluck. Collard greens are cooked all day with ham shanks and pickled jalapeno. Yum!
