Cheesy smothered mushroom chicken with potato & carrot

1 serving prepared 

Here's what you get:


Carrot 
Mushroom 
Scallion 
Chicken cutlet 
Yukon Gold potato 
Sour cream 
Chicken stock 
Monterey jack

Extras:
Butter 
Vegetable stock

**Because I didn't receive a recipe card for this I decided to just wing it on the preparation.

The veggies:

Instead of making mashed potatoes I decided to roast both be carrots and potato together. After mixing them with a tablespoon of avocado oil and fry seasoning they went into an oven that was preheated to 425°. A timer was set for 30 minutes. 

The protein:

After the veggies had reached the 12 minute mark the chicken was salted/peppered then placed on the baking sheet with the vegetables. After the timer was done some of the Monterey Jack was placed on top of the chicken and it was broiled for 3 minutes.

The sauce:

In a non-stick pan I melted some butter and begin to cook the mushrooms until they were going soft. After this the chicken stock concentrate, 1 oz of vegetable stock and the sour cream were added and cooked until the liquid had reduced.

The plate:


The mushroom gravy in this dish was really good. I'll definitely be making the it again for other dishes. Although the preparation called for mashed potatoes, roasting them was a much better option in my opinion. Doing that allowed me to cook nearly everything on one sheet pan and have less switch out during cooking and dishes to clean.

Cheese tortilla party

Making:  Cheese tortilla! 6 servings prepared. Here's what I have: 284 Grams of king Arthur masa harina 60 Grams cheese powder  30 Grams butter powder  419 grams hot water  Preparation: The dry ingredients were combined in the mixing bowl. With the stand mixer set to stir I slowly added the hot water until the dough ball formed. Once everything was well Incorporated the adult wall was divided into six portions. A damp paper towel was placed over the dough so it didn't try out as the tortillas were cooked.  Using a parchment lined tortilla press each dough ball was pressed just before cooking on the Comal. Each side was allowed to cook for 30-45 seconds before flipping. This allowed each side to dry out just enough. The second cook was done until the tortilla puffed up and Browning was beginning to form.  The plate! - Kris
