I was "gifted" with 6 chicken breast cutlets. Cheryl's chicken with
riccota and spinach topped with mozz and tomato sauce sounds good.

Chicken piccata is an option but I made a fish piccata-type dish last
month. I'm not really in the mood for piccata again just yet.

Another thought is Chicken Kiev. I haven't made that in decades. Hey,
I could use up the rest of the Panko. LOL

I searched and found this by Alton Brown:

http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/a...ipe/index.html

8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature
1 teaspoon dried parsley
1 teaspoon dried tarragon
1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus extra for seasoning chicken
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus extra for seasoning chicken
4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
2 large whole eggs, beaten with 1 teaspoon water
2 cups Japanese bread crumbs (panko), plus 1/4 cup for filling
Vegetable oil, for frying

Directions

Combine butter, parsley, tarragon, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon
black pepper in the bowl of a stand mixer. Place mixture on plastic wrap
or waxed paper and roll into small log; place in freezer.

(snipped)

I don't understand this direction. Why would anyone need to use a
*stand mixer bowl* to combine room-temp butter with herbs? It would
make more sense to simply say combine the ingredients in a bowl.

If I didn't know how to cook I'd wonder if I had to run out and buy a
stand mixer. LOL I don't own a stand mixer. Even if I did I wouldn't
think of using it for creaming a stick of butter with some herbs and spices.

At any rate, does anyone have a tried & true Chicken Kiev recipe?

I have available for side dishes fresh summer squash (yellow crookneck
and zuc's). I have rice (brown and white). I have couscous. I have
new potatoes. TIA!

That sounds really good. Diet food too, I see. Heh. I have never
had Chicken Kiev, perhaps I will try it.

At Costco yesterday I bought something I never have before ...
an ammo belt of chicken breasts. I happened to stop by the case
for a few seconds and noticed they were $4 off. Got a lot of
chicken breasts for $17.

While the breasts aren't my go-to cut of chicken, they are good
for piccata and parm, etc. I do have a fondness for breaded chicken
cutlets. Think my 365 Ways to Make Chicken cookbook might come in handy.

How were you "gifted" with them. WTH?

To me, Cheryl's chicken with riccota and spinach sounds very good
plain with no topping, and also with her white sauce topping that she
considered.

I hope she tries all 3 versions and get's back to us.

Well what do you know? I've got that cookbook too. I just pulled it
off the bookshelf. First edition (C) 1986. It's a hardback cover but
with pages inside like a 3-spiral notebook. I've never spent too much
time looking through it. I threw it on the bed to look through tonight
though.

I like that cookbook. If nothing else you can find inspiration.

Daughter and family who live in Germany have elderly Polish neighbours.
She drives them to various places it is hard for them to get to. They often
bring Polish dishes and gifts of pastries and other foods) Nice when you
are appreciated eh?)

Reminds me of time a guest at another guy's place decided to treat us all to his Chicken Kiev. Everyone oohed and aahed, as it WAS pretty tasty. I complimented the chef, but his long-suffering wife muttered to me thru curled lip, "I just wish he'd get a JOB." The marriage eventually ended when she got tired of carrying the load solo. How he survived, I never heard.

It's very nice to be appreciated! She used to travel a lot and when she
did I'd cat-sit for her two kitties. That was sometimes a PITA as they
were indoor-outdoor cats. She wanted them to go out in the morning and
come inside at night. One of them *never* wanted to come in. I drove
myself crazy trying to get that cat inside.

She's gifted me with a lot of things over the years. A bottle of
cologne; a bracelet. One day she snuck a clay pot of succulents onto my
back patio. It would have been a surprise if I hadn't caught her
sneaking back over to "decorate" the pot by adding small seashells.

By succulents I mean plants like this:

The chicken cutlets are in individually sealed packets. I'm only
thawing two of them. This is one time I'm not cooking with lots of
leftovers in mind.

Nancy, I mix flour and spices/seasonings in a zip lock, slice those
Costco chicken breasts into "tenders" size, toss 'em in the bag to
coat, then saute in a combo of olive oil and butter.

They cook up amazingly fast, are always moist, and one can vary the
flavor easily depending on what is tossed in with the flour coating.

That's not much of a gift... that's like two chicken titties, each
sliced into thirds... you're tawkin' like $2 worth.

I think only a tomato based sauce will do for these. I had a couple
last night with spaghetti sauce and I can't imagine a white sauce with
them now. The cheeses scream for tomato. I don't think I'd try them
plain without a sauce. The chicken was moist enough, but with the
crunchy panko, sauce is best.

Not nearly free when you have to cook it... would have been more of a
gift had you been treeted to dinner. Not knowing their lineage I'd
have tossed them, I don't accept raw food, especially poultry, I'd
consider it an insult... I don't want someones garbage.

Oh please, it's not difficult to cook some chicken.

We do things to help each other out and give each other little gifts as
thank you's. It's really not unheard of.

Oh, you're familiar with the lineage of all the chicken you buy at the
grocery store? LOL

So, if you didn't have a garden and someone offered you some zucchini or
tomatoes or cucumbers, you'd consider that an insult? Sounds pretty
silly to me.

That recipe is completely missing the garlic. The butter is meant to
be garlic butter with or without herbs.

Kind of a strange gift - raw chicken breasts? Is she leaving town for a long time? Did she let em thaw in error? Hmmmmm......makes me wonder. Do you dare freeze em again?

I wouldn't mind if she gifted me HER breasts! LOL

A very strange gift indeed. When people gift me suspect food I accept
it graciously and then proceed to feed it to the crows. I had a
tenant here that was always baking for her kids who lived with their
father... very often she'd bring me some of her baking... it looked
fine but tasted disgusting. After she left I'd feed it to the
critters, hoping they'd take it away so she'd not see it laying on the
lawn the next day. Anyone gifted me raw chicken cutlets I'd strongly
suspect they have serious mental issues. I can understand a neighbor
phoning to say she cooked a chicken cutlet dish and asked if I'd like
to come over to join her for dinner... but a package of raw defrosted
poultry, I'd be ascared it'd make the crows sick... I might toss it in
my creek and send it downstream but more likely it'd go right in my
trash can.

At no point did I say they were thawed. They were frozen, 6 in a bag,
each cutlet frozen separately AKA cryovac'd. I didn't grill her (heh)
about where she got them. I put them in the freezer and thawed two
cutlets. She didn't just hand me a package of raw chicken. LOLOL

That title is perfect: can't miss the post. the last time I did cutlets, one
ended up in one of my all-time favorite sandwich: mayo, then some slices of
tomato, then shredded lettuce (well shredded or it would occupy too much
volume), then a hearthy, crispy cutlet then more mayo and lettuce. When I
see one in a pub's sandwich display, it's usually the winner

I gave my neighbor some canned veggies that I bought by the case on
Amazon and decided I didn't like them, and also gave them a bag of
potatoes because the store had BOGO. I could never use 2 bags of
potatoes before they went bad. I wouldn't call all that a gift though.

There's no comparison between canned veggies from a national supplier
and those canned at home... sometimes home canning is safe but often
it is not.

Sometimes it's just being neighborly. I'm sure they've done things
for you... kept an eye your house while you were gone, fed the cat -
there's always something they do for you that they don't want any sort
of gift or likewise favor for, so those out of the blue gestures are
what we do to say thanks for being such a good and kind neighbor.

We have a very interesting Freecycle community group here. I see food
offered all the time. One woman must have access to produce that's about
to be thrown out because she's always posting free bags of every kind of
produce you can imagine. Her only rule is to never take more than you
can use so that everyone who needs some can get some.

Try to not use freecycle.org anymore. The owner is now taking over
valid groups for his own financial gain and you do not find the valid
groups for a city by it anymore.
