Rockin' Recipes, the RECIPES

Sorry, folks, I was ready to post my Chicken Marsala, and the camera was AWOL. Thanks, Matt!
Camera is still AWOL, it's away today at a Pheasant's Forever youth mentor hunt, which Matt is helping out with. He is not yet a mentor (a person who actually takes the youngsters hunting), but is an official 'gopher'. (Adrian et. al., 'gopher' stands for 'go for', and has been Americanized to gopher, which IS a rodent, haha. He is running errands and doing whatever the folks in charge ask him to do.)

Here is the Crockpot Chicken Marsala recipe:

4 half chicken breasts (I used 3.5 lbs. boneless, skinless thighs, because I had them)
1 stick butter
1 onion
1 8 oz. can mushrooms, with juice. You can also used sliced fresh; just add 1/2 c. water with them.
1/2 tsp. oregano
1/2 tsp. basil
Salt and pepper

3/4-1 cup Marsala cooking wine
8 oz. cream cheese, softened
2 cans cream of mushroom soup (I used 1 can cream of chicken and 1 can golden mushroom, because that's what I had, and it worked very well)
1 tsp. garlic chunks from refrigerated jar


Place the chicken between 2 layers of wax paper, and lightly pound to 1/4" thick with your high-tech masher, AKA a nice chunk of pet wood.
Cut into 1.5" pieces. At this point, you can dredge in a flour/herb mixture, if you want; I was in a hurry, so did not.
Slice onion, and put in crock pot. Add full can of mushrooms, with juice, or fresh mushrooms and water. Put stick of butter in the middle.
Layer the chicken over the mushrooms and onions, sprinkling with the herbs, salt and pepper.
Mix cream cheese, soups, wine and garlic until combined, then pour over chicken.

Cover and cook for 4-6 hours on high. Stir well. Add more basil/oregano/marsala, if desired, then cook another 10 minutes. Serve over cooked noodles (I used fettucini, because that's what I had. I think rice would work well, too.)

I can't post any pix, because it's all gone. Someone, cook this, and tell me what rock YOU think it looks like!

Haha, I was not being hard on Matt, actually I was thrilled that he donated his Saturday to helping with a worthwhile (if you are a hunter) activity for kids. He got up at 6 a.m., and that's a big sacrifice for anyone!

Holy moley Lady B! That's a one a rockin meatzaball!

LadyB, the resembling is awesome! You really must take care not to bite that thunder-egg!

Your recipe also looks very yummy!

Adrian

Wow, Lady B, which is which? If I ever make it to Florida and come to supper, I will definately poke the food before biting!! I still have all my teeth, and want to keep 'em! I love Greek food, and I will definately try that. I have tried and tried to get the seasoning right for gyros, but so far no go. Of course, I can't get that rotisserie meat, but I've tried with steak, hamburger, etc. Yours sounds like it could be the ticket.

ok, here is my submission, i'm calling it:

SAUSAGE ROCK N' ROLL

ingredients:

flour (a generous amount)
1 lb. loose Italian sausage (i use HOT)
1 pkg. pizza dough
2 cups shredded cheese (you can use any variety of flavor, pizza mix, mozzarella, cheddar)
1 egg
1 pinch Italian seasoning
dash of salt and pepper

early in the day, set out the dough to rise in a pile of flour and cover with a linen tea towel:




as the dough rises throughout the day, apply the kneading rock:


approximately 1 1/2 hours before serving, fry the sausage meat thouroughly:


and drain excess fat and allow the meat to cool slightly:


add more flour to you countertop space and roll out the dough with either rock or rolling pin:


mix in the egg and spices to your meat mixture and spread out onto the dough and cover with the cheese:


carefully roll the roll:


place on a cookie sheet and bake in the oven at 350 F for about an hours:


let stand under a tin foil hat:



and VOILA! the roll:



and the rock:


and the rock n' roll:


and the roll slice:


and the rock slice:


this dish is a real crowd pleaser, can be served warm or makes a great cold lunch too!

thanks for the contest, Karen!

It looks delicious, KD! And that double resemblance! Cut or uncut, your meal looks like a rock!

Adrian

Hey KD looks like you have a contender there. You managed to make some thing that looks like two rocks. Are you trying to raise the bar? LOL

I am reviving this post. Thanks, so much, to all who have posted recipes! This is still a current contest, folks.
