Default What's *NOT* for dinner tonight

I saw this in one of my weekly grocery store flyers this morning. Take
a look:

http://i64.tinypic.com/33y1fk4.jpg

Is it just me or does that sound just so wrong to you too?

The chicken breast with asparagus sounds fine to me. I would maybe
quickly sautee the asparagus in a bit of garlic infused olive oil.
Then maybe add in some fresh parmesan cheese but CERTAINLY NOT cheddar
cheese.

Anyway, premade (and ready to cook) things are rarely good and always
expensive. I could make that myself for half the price stated. I would
never even dream of cheddar cheese with the other two ingredients
though. That travesty is what caught my attention this morning.

I would never buy anything pre-made like that, either, but for food
safety reasons.

As to the combination of flavors:
Chicken and cheddar, ok.
Chicken and asparagus, excellent.
Cheddar and asparagus, epic fail.
Chicken, cheddar, and broccoli, excellent.

Plus, if it's all cooked after the asparagus is stuffed inside the
chicken, the ends of the asparagus would be overcooked before
the chicken was done through.

I disagree about the cheddar and asparagus fail. It is actually a pretty
good combination that I have been enjoying all my life. On the rare
occasions when we have left over asparagus I like to lightly toast some
bread, lay sliced cheddar and a few stalks of asparagus on top and stick
it under the broiler. When I was a kid my mother used to do them rolled
up. She used some white bread, sliced cheese and asparagus, fold the
bread over and stick with a tooth pick and then do them under the
broiler but with the rack in the middle of the oven so that the bread
didn't burn before the cheese melted.

I imagine that the picture exaggerates to emphasize the asparagus. It is
more like chopped and inside the breast, not sticking out. We had a
similar sort of dish at our neighbours that I deconstructed and tried at
home. They had served us chicken breasts stuffed with kale and cream
cheese with a bit of garlic. She said she didn't know how we felt about
goat cheese so she used the cream cheese instead. I made it at home a
few times using chevre or feta, but I used spinach instead of kale.

Good idea, I think I'll do that myself.
I do onion/tomato/cheese on toast often, so another variant is always
welcome.

My reading stuttered at the word cheddar. It doesn't even look good
in the photo. There are better choices for cheese.

I'm wondering how to cook the thing properly without burning all that
asparagus hanging out (especially the tips). And why is it a 'cutlet'
anyway? Otherwise it seems okay to me, for what it is. I have no
problem with cheddar and asparagus/chicken.

I'd eat that but I am pretty damn hungry. I wanted to eat ahi poke and eggs for breakfast but had some cornflakes instead. I'd eat one of those in a heartbeat. Your problem is you ain't hungry.

That's actually funny looking. And now I realize that I didn't buy
asparagus. Husband was asking for it. Would be funny to see his face when
presented with a plate of that!

I decided to make cup tamales instead of the pupusas. Will do some with
ground beef and some with black beans.

The main problem is the asparagus flavor would be totally lost. It's
just too strong of a cheese for that vegetable.

I wouldn't have thought cheddar would be too strong?
Gruyère or something like Colby would be better though.

Might be a taste preference but cheddar would so mask the asparagus,
that it might as well not be there.

Snicker, maybe but that's not why I eat asparagus!

Hmm. I wonder if our cheddar is like your cheddar? Ours is fairly
mild, by my standards at least.

It depends a lot on the Cheddar. While it may be an orange or a very
light, the taste varies a lot from one producer to another. Cheap
Cheddar can be pretty bland, but there are a lot of cheese makers who
make much tastier Cheddar, and there are different aging times. I am
not much of a fan of Cheddar but keep some cheap old cheddar for grilled
cheese sandwiches. My wife buys a much higher quality Cheddar, either 3
or 5 years old, and it has a much more potent flavour.

We get it in three types, mild, medium and old. Apart from that one
can buy specialty cheddars that can be ultra strong.

Also too strong for the nice mild flavor of chicken breast.

To my taste the best cheese for chicken breast is mozz... a chick parm
onna crusty bra is the best.

I can think of several that would be better than mozzarella. It has a
good melting quality but not great flavour. I have stuffed chicken
breasts with goat cheese and with cream cheese, both in conjunction with
garlic, herbs and spinach and they were great. Then there is Chicken
Cordon Bleu, with Swiss cheese and ham. Great stuff.

All the mozzarella I see is low fat which I hate.

Way to go, Julie! You beat her down into speechlessness.

I didn't think Julie was even capable of using the phone.

You seem to have a problem remembering things. Maybe you should have
written down the once you realized you liked it.

Wow. She catches on quick when her mind isn't clouded by irrational
spite.

Congratulations! Your post has been approved by Julie.

Yeah, I see tuna and cheddar on pizza every time I visit Planet Bove.

You can't rent this stuff at Red Box.

You tell him Julie!

That wasn't your original argument. Your argument was that you
couldn't remember where you got them. Then when somebody tells you
how to solve that problem, you come up with a different argument to
explain why the proposed solution won't work.

Same 'ol song and dance.

So WTF are you basing your unfounded theories on? Angela was about 3
years old and you had left grade school decades earlier. What would
have been your direct experience with the New York public school
system in the early 2000's?

-sw

What I'm trying to say is that Julie is full of shit again. It's
amazing how much time Julie spends describing her miserable fantasy
world.

Again, only in YOUR house.
