Bronzing and Oven Roasting- 4 Recipes for A Quick Meal

I don’t want to cook! So here are my go-to recipes for a fast and easy meal that has great flavor. Bronzing was developed by Chef Paul Prudhomme as a substitute for his blackening technique which cannot be done in a home kitchen due to the smoke and high heat. I use all his Magic Seasonings depending on the type of meat I cook. Some seasonings are hard to find, so I have included the recipe for Poultry Seasoning. It is good to make up and keep on hand, especially for days like this! Enjoy

    Pepperjack Stuffed Chicken Breasts

    My Culinary Arts Team competed at Region and State and made a meal which included Stuffed Chicken Breasts. Their description of the main dish inspired me to develop this recipe. Be sure to use a thermometer to check the doneness of chicken breasts so you won’t dry them out. Enjoy!

      Chicken Cacciatore

      Teaching a Foods Lab in one hour is a hard task, so I was always looking for recipes that could be made in two lab days. Chicken Cacciatore fit the bill. The sauce could be made one day and stored. Then it could be reheated while the pasta was cooking and then served. The recipe calls for chicken breasts or tenders, but when I first started teaching we used a whole chicken in this recipe and I even taught students how to cut up a chicken! My how times have changed.

      Do not fail to add the cooking wine. It is the key ingredient for flavor. You can use white wine but in class, we used cooking wine which has salt added. A little story about that- salt was added to cooking wine to keep the cooks from drinking and getting drunk! Enjoy.

        Nasi Goreng (Indonesian Fried Rice)

        My first introduction to Nasi Goreng was at Odette’s home. This Indonesion fried rice is an everyday dish often made with ham. What makes it so delicious is Kecap or ketjap which is the sweet soy sauce used in her recipe. Later I found this recipe in a Johnson and Wales newsletter. The recipe called for soy sauce but I substituted the sweet soy sauce. After you try this recipe, you will not want to go back to using soy sauce. Enjoy!

        Note, this post includes affiliate links where I get a small commission if you make a purchase, at no additional cost to you.  The Kecap or Sweet Soy Sauce is a must to make this dish authentic. Sometimes it can be found in local Asian markets.Thanks for supporting Sarah Stevens!
