  • Air fryer Melt in Your Mouth Chicken

    Air fryer Melt in Your Mouth Chicken

    “Melt in Your Mouth” chicken cooked in an air fryer combines the convenience of quick cooking with the tender, juicy results you’d expect from a longer bake.

    This recipe usually involves a creamy, flavorful topping on tender chicken breasts. Here’s how to make this delightful dish in your air fryer:

    Ingredients:

    4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
    1/2 cup mayonnaise or Greek yogurt (for a healthier option)
    1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
    1 tsp garlic powder
    1 tsp seasoned salt
    1/2 tsp black pepper
    1 tsp herbs (such as dried parsley, chives, or Italian seasoning)
    Cooking spray

    Equipment:

    Air fryer
    Small mixing bowl
    Measuring spoons

    Instructions:

    Prepare the Chicken:

    If the chicken breasts are very thick, you might want to pound them slightly to an even thickness to ensure even cooking.

    Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. This helps the topping adhere better and improves cooking.

    Mix the Topping:

    In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt), grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, seasoned salt, black pepper, and herbs.

    Mix until well blended.

    Apply the Topping:

    Spread the mayonnaise mixture evenly over the top of each chicken breast. Ensure it covers the chicken generously to form a good crust.

    Preheat the Air Fryer:

    Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 3-5 minutes. This ensures the chicken starts cooking as soon as you place it inside.

    Cook the Chicken:

    Spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray to prevent sticking. Place the chicken breasts in the basket, spacing them evenly.

    Cook for about 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). The exact time will depend on the thickness of your chicken breasts.

    Halfway through the cooking time, you can gently flip the chicken if desired, although it’s not necessary. Flipping is optional since the topping is primarily on one side.

    Serving:

    Once cooked, let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving. This helps the juices redistribute throughout the meat, making it even more tender.

    Serve hot, perhaps with a side of steamed vegetables, a fresh salad, or over a bed of cooked rice or pasta.

    Tips for Success:

    Mayonnaise vs. Greek Yogurt: Using mayonnaise will give you a creamier and slightly richer taste, while Greek yogurt is a great alternative if you’re looking for a healthier option with less fat.

    Check Doneness: Using a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the chicken is the best way to ensure it’s fully cooked without drying it out.

    This recipe is incredibly simple and perfect for a quick dinner that doesn’t skimp on flavor. The air fryer ensures that the chicken stays moist and tender inside, while the creamy, cheesy topping adds a delicious richness that truly melts in your mouth.

  • Fried green tomatoes

    Fried green tomatoes

    Indulge in a Southern classic with our recipe for Fried Green Tomatoes – a dish that embodies the essence of comfort food with a delightful twist. With its crispy exterior and tangy green tomato flavor, this recipe promises to be a crowd-pleaser for any occasion.

    To start, gather your ingredients, including plump green tomatoes, eggs, milk, all-purpose flour, cornmeal, breadcrumbs, coarse kosher salt, ground black pepper, and vegetable oil for frying. Each component plays a crucial role in creating the perfect balance of flavors and textures.

    Begin by slicing the green tomatoes into hearty 1/2-inch thick rounds, ensuring each slice is substantial enough to hold up during the frying process. Discard the ends to ensure uniformity in size and shape, setting the stage for a visually appealing presentation.

    Next, prepare the batter by whisking together eggs and milk in a shallow bowl, creating a rich and creamy mixture that will help adhere the coating to the tomatoes. In another bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornmeal, breadcrumbs, coarse kosher salt, and ground black pepper, forming a seasoned coating that will provide a satisfying crunch with every bite.

    Now, it’s time to coat the tomato slices. Dip each slice into the egg and milk mixture, allowing any excess to drip off, before dredging it in the seasoned flour mixture, ensuring an even coating on all sides. This process creates a robust outer layer that will crisp up beautifully when fried to perfection.

    Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet or frying pan until it reaches the ideal temperature for frying – around 350°F (175°C). Carefully place the coated tomato slices into the hot oil, taking care not to overcrowd the pan, which can lead to uneven cooking.

    Fry the tomatoes until golden brown and crispy on both sides, flipping them halfway through to ensure even browning. Once cooked to perfection, transfer the fried green tomatoes to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil, allowing them to retain their crispiness and prevent them from becoming greasy.

    Serve the fried green tomatoes hot and fresh, accompanied by your favorite dipping sauce or condiment for an extra burst of flavor. Whether enjoyed as an appetizer, side dish, or even a standalone snack, these delectable delights are sure to leave a lasting impression on your taste buds. So go ahead, indulge in the irresistible allure of Fried Green Tomatoes – a true Southern classic that never fails to delight!

    In instead of cooking onions, use shallots in this recipe. Shallots provide a more delectable soup because of their buttery element and sweeter flavor! You should always browse the vegetables in the pan. This contributes to the soup’s increased flavor. While you don’t have to blend the entire soup, blending about 1/3 of it will make the soup creamier. Whether blended or not, this soup tastes great! Cannellini beans are used in this dish, although any white bean would work in their place if necessary.

  • ultimate vinegar crispy fries

    ultimate vinegar crispy fries

    Finally, here it is – The perfect french fries recipe! Based on a ground-breaking method from the legendary Kenji López-Alt’s The Food Lab, these hot chips are so crispy they stay that way even after they’ve gone cold. It’s rare to find fries this good even at up-market bistros!

    There’s nothing more deflating than going to all the effort of making your own fries from scratch, only to find they start losing crispiness before they even hit the table. Which is what happens if you use the standard way of cooking homemade fries – soaking in water followed by a double fry.

    Well, it’s taken me years but with the help of the impressively thorough french fry research documented in Kenji López-Alt’s The Food Lab, Chef JB and I have finally nailed down the recipe for the perfect homemade french fries. Fluffy on the inside, crispy on the outside – and stays crispy well beyond the time it takes to eat the fries and, say, a big juicy Cheeseburger. The ideal french fry!

    Ingredients

    ▢1 kg / 2 lb (3 – 4) floury potatoes (Note 1, Aus: Sebago/dirt aka brushed, US: Russet/Idaho, UK: Maris Piper, King Edward)
    ▢2 tbsp white vinegar (Note 2)
    ▢1 tbsp cooking salt / kosher salt (Note 3)
    ▢1 litre/quart canola/vegetable oil
    SEASONING (CHOOSE):
    ▢Salt – table salt or sea salt flakes
    ▢Shaker fries seasoning
    ▢Rosemary salt
    ▢Nori salt (coming soon)

    Instructions

    Cut: Peel the potatoes. Cut into 6 mm / 1/4″ French fries using a serrated knife. (Note 4)
    Keep cut fries submerged in a bowl of water to prevent them from going brown while you cut the remainder. (No need for actual soaking beyond this.)
    Rinse: Transfer potatoes to a colander and rinse under tap water for 15 – 20 seconds.
    Simmer: Place fries in a large pot with 2 litres/quarts of cold tap water, vinegar and salt. Bring to a boil over high heat then immediately reduce stove to low so the surface is rippling gently (Note 5), not big bubbles. Cook for 10 minutes then carefully remove using a slotted spoon into a colander (do not tip into colander, fries will break).
    Dry 5 min: Spread the fries on 2 tea towel lined trays. Leave to steam dry for 5 minutes.
    Pot: Pour 3 cm / 1.2″ of oil in a pot that is at least 10cm/4″ high (⚠️for safety, need at least 7 cm / 3″ from oil surface to rim of pot, Note 6)
    Separate the fries into 3 Batches (for cooking).
    FRY #1

    Heat oil to 205°C/400°F over medium high heat.
    ⚠️10 sec pause (Note 7): Lower 1/3 of Batch 1 fries into the oil using a slotted spoon. WAIT 10 seconds, add another 1/3 of the fries, wait 10 seconds, then add the remaining Batch 1 fries.
    50 sec fry: Fry for 50 seconds, moving them around once or twice. Then remove with a slotted spoon onto 2 paper towel lined trays, spread out in a single layer. The fries will still be white and floppy.
    Repeat Fry #1 with Batches 2 and 3, ensuring the oil is back at 205°C/400°F before cooking.

    FRY #2
    30 min cool: Leaves fries to cool for 30 minutes.
    Line a large bowl with paper towels – for draining and tossing.
    Fry #2: Heat oil to 205°C/400°F. Fry half the French fries for 4 minutes, moving them around twice, or until golden brown and crispy. Drain in the lined bowl, then repeat with remaining fries.
    SEASON & SERVE!
    Sprinkle fries with salt or seasoning or choice. (Note 8) Toss and serve!
    Fries will stay crispy even once cool. See note for large batch cooking tip.

  • Caramel Apple Cinnamon Roll Lasagna

    Caramel Apple Cinnamon Roll Lasagna

    Caramel Apple Cinnamon Roll Lasagna is fun and delicious combo of classic caramel apple pie and yummy cinnamon rolls. This awesome fall treat (just like this amazing Apple Crumb Cake) is delicious dessert, but it is great idea for easy breakfast casserole, too.

    Ingredients

    • 2 cans cinnamon rolls
    • 4 large apples- peeled and diced (Granny Smith or Golden Delicious)
    • ½ cup sugar
    • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
    • ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
    • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
    • ¼ –1/3 cup caramel sauce (or salted caramel sauce if you prefer)

    How To Make Caramel Apple Cinnamon Roll Lasagna

    1. Preheat the oven to 375 F and spray glass or ceramic 8 x 8 x 2 inch dish with nonstick spray( I used 7 x 9 x 2 inch ceramic dish).
    2. In a bowl stir together diced apples, sugar, corn starch, cinnamon and nutmeg to coat evenly.
    3. Cut cinnamon rolls in ¼ inch slices and then roll it out on floured work surface until thin. Dust it with flour because they are too sticky and they will fall apart when rolling out. You can dust your hands with flour and press it to thin it out if you find that easier.
    4. Arrange first layer of flattened cinnamon rolls at the bottom and sides of a dish. Press them with your hands to seal them well.
    5. Spread half of apples from the filling and drizzle 2-3 tablespoons of caramel sauce on top. Cover with another layer of flattened cinnamon rolls.
    6. Spread remaining apples and drizzle again with caramel sauce. Cover with remaining flattened cinnamon rolls.
    7. Cover with aluminum foil and bake 30 minutes. Then remove the foil and bake another 10-15 minutes until the top are golden brown.
    8. Cool at least 30 minutes, drizzle with icing(that came with cinnamon rolls) slice and serve.
