Buffalo spicy crispy chicken cutlet with broccoli and potato wedges 

1 serving prepared 

Here's what you get:


Chicken cutlet
Broccoli 
Potato 
Scallion 
Sour cream 
Honey 
Frank's Red Hot seasoning 
Monterey Jack cheese 
Panko bread crumbs (not used)

Substitutes and extras: 

Bacon butter 
Live G free Gluten free bread crumb



The protein:
 
1.5 tbsp of bread crumbs, a bit of melted bacon butter, red hot seasoning and Monterey Jack cheese were mixed together and the chicken was topped with this mixture. There was some left over, the remainder of this mix was used in the potatoes. The oven was preheated for 425 and the chicken was placed on the same pan with the potatoes and put in the oven for 18 minutes.

The potatoes:

The potatoes were tossed with a bit of melted bacon butter and the remainder of the cheese bread crumb mix. After the chicken was removed from the panties cook for an additional 10 minutes.

The broccoli:

I prepared the broccoli in a small pan with a little bit of vegetable broth to cook. This was done towards the end of the potatoes cooking and took about eight minutes total.

Extras:

I use the sour cream to make a dipping sauce for the potatoes by adding some of the red hot seasoning and a little bit of Honey.

The plate:


I didn't receive a recipe card so I was totally winging it. This was a good meal as usual. I should have put more of the crumb cheese mix on the chicken.

Cooking by the Book 1: Orc Bacon

The Book: Dungeons & Dragons Heroes Feast the official D&D cookbook Making: Orc Bacon (modified) 2 servings prepared  Here's what I have: 7 slices of thick-cut bacon  3 tablespoons light brown sugar  1 teaspoon fresh ground pepper  1 teaspoon garlic powder  1 tablespoon orange Ginger Spice 1 oz Veggie broth  Preparation: The convection oven was preheated to 375 degrees on convection setting. The bacon was placed on a wrap set into a baking tray and placed into the oven for 8 minutes.  While the bacon was cooking for the first 8 minutes I added the spices and veggie broth to a small pan and began to eat them up until I got a syrupy liquid.  Once the eight minutes were up I brushed one side with the sauce and placed back into the oven for three minutes. This process was repeated by flipping and brushing the other side of the bacon before returning to the oven. Total cook time was 25 minutes The plate! ...

Bacon butter!

Making: Today I'll be making bacon butter. Whenever I make bacon I save the grease. Now that I have enough it will be turned into batches of bacon butter.  I used about 2.75 sticks of butter total. Cut into jars then I let them sit until the butter was close to room temperature.  The bacon fat I have collected (Stored in the refrigerator) was heated in bits over a double boiler until liquified but not too hot.  The melted bacon fat was poured over the butter. You can use a strainer to get rid of and chunky bits and then mixed until well incorporated. The smaller jars have just over 3 oz butter. The bigger jar has 4.3 oz butter.  Here are the finished jars. These will be stored in the fridge and used to cook veggies and sear meats. You could also put herbs in the jar for different flavors. - Kris
