Hello, foodies…
How fun were the ITKWD Golden Spatula Awards yesterday? Here's a snapshot of all our winners. I'm STILL in shock that my team surprised me with my own GIANT spatula…
And, how about those Oscars!? Did you see Barbara Streisand sing The Way We Were? I just love her…so timeless, so PERFECT!
Now, onto Wednesday's show and my recipe. We've got just one "Party Bite" left for February. Can you believe it? This hors d'oeuvre is inspired by an entrée…one of my favorites, in fact.
This recipe is prepared with the KitchenAid Professional 9-Speed Digital Hand Mixer (K34571).

Ingredients:
1 stick unsalted butter, room temperature
1 Tbsp garlic, minced
2 Tbsp parsley, chopped
1 Tbsp dill, chopped
2 Tbsp scallions, chopped
1 Tbsp + 1 tsp kosher salt
1-1/2 tsp ground black pepper, divided
1-1/2 lbs ground chicken meat
1 egg, beaten
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup cornflake crumbs
Directions:
Combine the butter, garlic, parsley, dill, scallions, 1 tsp salt, and a 1/2 tsp pepper in a medium-size bowl. Place the butter mixture on a piece of plastic wrap and shape it into a log about the size of a stick of butter. Chill completely.
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Combine the ground chicken, 1 Tbsp salt, and 1 tsp of black pepper. Mix until the salt and pepper are evenly distributed into the meat. Divide the mixture into eight balls. Set aside.
Remove the chilled butter from plastic wrap and cut into eight slices. Place one slice in the middle of each patty. Form the edges of the patties around the butter, being sure the butter is sealed into the meat.
Place the flour, beaten egg, and cornflake crumbs in three separate bowls. Dredge the chicken in flour, egg, and finally the cornflake crumbs. Place the coated chicken seam-side down on a nonstick cookie sheet. Repeat with the remaining stuffed chicken. Bake for about 25–30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through. Serve with the roasted broccoli (recipe follows).
Roasted Broccoli
Ingredients:
1-1/2 broccoli crowns, cut into florets
1/8 cup olive oil
2 Tbsp lemon juice
1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
Salt and pepper, to taste
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 425°F. Toss the broccoli with the oil, lemon, salt, and pepper in a large bowl.
Spread the broccoli onto a cookie sheet in a single layer. Bake until cooked through and the edges are brown, about 20 minutes.
Place the broccoli back into the bowl and toss with Parmesan cheese.
Because Wednesday's recipe is derived from an entrée, tell me, what "main dishes" do you like to serve as appetizers? Pizza? Quesadillas? Meatballs? I'll see you this Wednesday at 8pm ET.
Keep it flavorful!
