Ingredients
1 stick butter, chilled
6 boneless chicken breast halves
1 salt and pepper to taste
1 green onion, minced fine
1 cup flour for dredging
1 salt and pepper to taste
2 eggs, beaten
1 cup breadcrumbs for dredging
Directions
Cut butter into 6 portions. Beat chicken pieces between wax paper
until they are thin cutlets. Do not make any holes.
Put one portion of butter in the middle of each cutlet. Sprinkle each
with green onion and salt and pepper. Roll each chicken piece into an
envelope shape, tucking in the sides.
Put a bunch of flour in a bowl; add salt and pepper to taste. Beat
two eggs in another bowl. Put about a cup of soft white breadcrumbs
(stale bread will also do) in a third bowl.
Take each chicken roll and dredge it in flour. Then dip it into the
egg and then roll it in breadcrumbs. You may repeat the egg-crumb
breading once if you like a thick crust. Put the finished rolls in
the fridge for at least an hour to firm up the breading.
Deep fry at 360 until brown on all sides. Serve with rice.
Servings: 6 servings

The History of Recipes
Transcribed cooking instructions as an idea can be traced back into the distant past, in fact as far back into recorded history as the Egyptians, and possibly even further. In practice though, mostly, these early records were just very basic hieroglyphic recipes for preparing food.
In an interesting twist, the most ancient recipe in existence, according to historians are a few tablets in Sumerian which describe the baking of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as having made those who drank it feel blissful. During the time of the Romans a man called Apicius assembled some documents showing how to cook the recipes enjoyed by wealthy Romans. In his scrolls, Apicius tells us how the meals of wealthy Romans were split into hors d`oeuvres, main course and dessert, a style of dining still practiced today. This early Roman chef recounts how the ancient cooks used many herbs and spices, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks such as basil, mint and parsley. Over the next few hundred years, the powerful families of Europe strove to serve the best banquets, and as a consequence, cooks and their recipe collections were greatly in demand. Notwithstanding that, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that haute cuisine and recipe collections became really popular. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, spent years to collating, verifying, and publishing popular recipes of the day. By the advent of the twentieth century, cookery publications are increasing in popularity due to more people being able to read, increased leisure time and having more money. The introduction of the TV brings us celebrity chefs and the spin-off recipe books. Which brings us neatly up to date and the internet revolution, permitting everybody to access thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on our site. |
