Chicken Francese with Fettuccine and Wild Mushroom Ragout

12 oz. Wild Mushrooms, diced (I use a blend of crimini, shitake, and oyster)
1.5 oz. dehydrated Wild Mushrooms (a blend I found is shitake, deerwood, and paddystraw, but there are others available)
4 strips bacon
1 sm. Shallot, dice finely
4 tsp. light butter
1 ¾ c. mushroom stock (recipe below)
2 ½ Tbsp. Magi Seasoning ®
¼ c. white wine
2 inches parmesan rind (I find these in the gourmet cheese section at my grocery store)
3 large chicken breasts (cut into cutlets)
3 large eggs
¼ c. flour
Salt and pepper (to taste)
1 tsp. parsley (divided in half)

Directions:
1. Slice chicken into cutlets and place in heavily salted water for 30 minutes.
2. Clean fresh mushrooms and reserve stems.
3. Re-hydrate mushrooms per package instructions (reserve liquids) and dice
4. Dice bacon and render. Keep 1 Tbsp. fat in the pan, drain the rest. When crisp, add fresh mushrooms, shallots, butter, and Magi Seasoning®
5. Sauté until soft. Add rehydrated mushrooms and deglaze pan with white wine.
6. Add mushroom stock and parmesan rind. Reduce to simmer and reduce by half for flavor. Add more mushroom stock if necessary, for your desired consistency.
7. Cook and hold your choice of pasta while you are doing all of the below (this means, start your water and cook your pasta while you are preparing the rest of the recipe). I prefer fettuccine with this dish.
8. Remove chicken from brine and pat dry.
9. In another pan, heat 1 tsp. olive oil and 1 tsp. light butter over medium heat.
10. In one bowl, beat 3 eggs. In another, mix flour, salt and pepper, and ½ tsp. parsley.
11. Dip chicken into beaten eggs, then dredge in flour mixture.
12. Add the chicken to the heated oil/butter mixture and cook until light, golden brown color (2-3 minutes) Turn and cook the other side to same color (another 2-3 minutes).
13. Serve the mushroom ragout over your fettuccine and drizzle over chicken. Garnish with the remainder of the parsley.
14. Enjoy!


Mushroom Stock:

Stems from your cleaned mushrooms
Reserved liquids from rehydrated mushrooms
Salt and pepper to taste
Enough water to make 4 c. with the reserved liquid from the rehydrated mushrooms

Directions:
1. Simmer all ingredients until reduced by half.
2. Strain through a fine strainer.

Grand Biscuit Roll-Overs

1 or 2 cans of Grand biscuits
1 8 oz. bowl of Whipped cream cheese
1 can of pie filling of jam of choice
3 or 4 tsp of sugar mixed with 1 tsp of cinnamon

Preheat oven at 350

Separate biscuits and flatten each one.
Spread approx. 1 Tbsp. of whipped cream cheese down the center of each, leaving about ½ inch
on the ends.
Add approx. 1 tsp of pie filling or jam (I used cherry pie filling in some & strawberry jam in the rest)
Sprinkle with the sugar/cinnamon mix
Fold one side of biscuit over then bring the other side over the top of the first (see picture)
Pinch edges to seal but leave the ends open.
Sprinkle over top with sugar/cinnamon mix
Drizzle with cinnamon icing (optional)


Cinnamon icing:

½ cup powdered sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
1 Tbsp half & half or 1 Tbsp of cream
1 tsp vanilla extract
May need to add a little more milk or powdered sugar to get consistency you want. If adding milk just add a few drops at a time.

Bake at 350 oven until puffy and golden brown.
Let cool and enjoy!! Makes 8

Shrimp Stuffed Cod

1¼ lbs. cod fillets (you can also use Flounder or Tilapia), season to taste with sea salt, pepper, and Old Bay® seasoning


Stuffing:

½ lb. shrimp, raw, deveined and chopped
1½ tsp. finely minced shallot
4 Tbsp. light butter
¼ c. finely diced celery
½ tsp. dill weed
½ tsp. minced chives (I use garlic chives)
1/8 tsp. sea salt
1/8 tsp. cayenne pepper
2 tsp. Sake (or white wine)
¼ tsp. Old Bay® seasoning
½ c. seafood stock (recipe below, although you can use chicken stock in a pinch)
1½ c. fresh, soft bread crumbs (I use an Asiago Cheese Bread)

Directions:

1 Sauté the shallot, celery, and all seasonings in the butter and Sake until translucent. Add chopped shrimp and seafood stock. Simmer until shrimp is pink. Pour over fresh bread crumbs and add seafood stock if necessary.
2 Spread stuffing onto fish fillets and roll, using toothpicks to secure.
3 Place rolled fish on a broiler pan
4 Bake 350o F for 12 mins.
5 Remove and pour a mixture of 2 Tbsp. light butter, ¼ tsp. lemon juice, and shaved bread to thicken) over the top.

Seafood stock is easy to make. Keep the shells, heads, and tails from your shrimp and boil in 1 c. water over low heat with some Old Bay® seasoning and a bay leaf (you will want to reduce the water by half).
