Johnny Carino's Chicken Scallopini
Lemon butter:
1/2 pound butter
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 tablespoons white wine
1/2 teaspoon garlic , minced
chicken
4 tablespoons butter , melted
2 chicken breasts
1/2 cup roma tomatoes
1/2 cup sliced mushrooms
1/2 cup cooked bacon , chopped
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon garlic salt
10 ounces spaghetti
8 ounces heavy whipping cream
Combine Lemon Butter ingredients in a mixing bowl and beat at a medium speed until a smooth consistency in the batter is formed. Once combined, keep refrigerated until needed. Put Spaghetti on to boil & prepare as you usually would.
While it is cooking halve each chicken breast (you will have 4 pieces).
In a warm saute pan, combine melted butter & chicken breast pieces. Saute until chicken is browned & just about done. Add tomatoes, mushrooms, bacon, and spice mixture. Simmer until tomatoes begin to dissolve & chicken is done.
Add heavy cream and allow to boil to the middle of pan. Remove from heat,
add one cup lemon butter, and fold together to make sauce.
Serve over spaghetti.
option 2:
For the lemon butter I only used 1/2 of it. Next time I will use 1/4 pound butter, 1 1/2 tsp lemon juice, 1 tbsp white wine and still use 1/2 tsp garlic. I used boneless skinless chicken thighs pounded to even thickness. Also I replace the garlic salt with garlic powder

Smoothered Pork Roast
Smoothered Pork Roast
Combine the onions, garlic, thyme, and rosemary in a medium mixing bowl and toss to combine. Heat the vegetable oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. When the oil is very hot, sear the meat on all sides until deeply browned and crusty, 10 to 12 minutes total.
Transfer the meat to a plate, reduce the heat to medium, and then stir in the butter. When the butter has melted, stir in the flour to make a roux and continue to cook, stirring, until the roux turns a dark peanut butter color, about 10 minutes.
Add the onion mixture and cook, stirring, until all the ingredients are well coated and the mixture is thick. Whisk in the chicken broth and bring to a simmer, stirring constantly. Return the pork to the Dutch oven, spoon some of the onion mixture over the meat, cover, and roast for about 3 hours, turning and basting the pork every 30 minutes or so, until the meat will break apart when pressed gently with a fork.
At this point, you can serve the roast right out of the pan, or transfer it to a plate, then simmer the pan drippings, skimming off excess fat, until reduced by about one-third, or until it coats the back of a spoon. Add the lemon juice and taste for seasonings.
Before serving, sprinkle the roast with some additional salt, to taste. Serve the roast smothered with a generous amount of sauce over hot steamed rice.

Ingredients:
- 1 (6- to 7-pound) boneless pork roast (shoulder or butt)

- 1 tablespoon dried rosemary, crumbled
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- 4 cups chicken broth
- Juice of ½ lemon (optional)
- Perfect Steamed Rice (recipe follows)
Instructions:

Set the roast aside for at least 30 minutes or up to 1 hour to bring to room temperature.Combine the onions, garlic, thyme, and rosemary in a medium mixing bowl and toss to combine. Heat the vegetable oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. When the oil is very hot, sear the meat on all sides until deeply browned and crusty, 10 to 12 minutes total.
Transfer the meat to a plate, reduce the heat to medium, and then stir in the butter. When the butter has melted, stir in the flour to make a roux and continue to cook, stirring, until the roux turns a dark peanut butter color, about 10 minutes.

Pot Roasted Chicken with Bacon and Potatoes
Recipe: Pot Roasted Chicken with Bacon and Potatoes
©From the Kitchen of Deep South Dish| Prep time: 30 min |Cook time: 1 hour 40 min | | Yield: About 4 to 6 servings |
Ingredients
Brine:
- 6 cups of water
- 1/2 cup of packed brown sugar
- 1/4 cup of kosher salt
- Springs of fresh thyme, optional
- 1/2 teaspoon of whole peppercorns, optional
Casserole:
- 1 (4-5 pound) whole chicken
- Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
- 3 cloves of garlic, smashed & peel removed
- 5 slices of bacon
- 1 cup of sliced onion
- 1 tablespoon of canola or vegetable oil
- 3 tablespoons of butter, softened at room temperature, divided
- 2 pounds of potatoes, sliced 1/4-inch thick
- 1/4 cup of water
- 2 sprigs of fresh parsley
- 2 sprigs of fresh thyme
- 2 small bay leaves
- 1 loaf of French bread
Prepare the brine and add the chicken at least 3 hours before cooking. Before cooking, rinse well and pat dry with paper towels. Season the chicken cavity generously with salt and pepper and stuff the smashed garlic into the cavity; truss the chicken and set aside.
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Slice bacon into the bottom of a large skillet and lightly brown. Add onion and cook until slightly softened. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the bacon and onion to a Dutch oven. Add the oil and 1 tablespoon of the butter to the pan drippings in the skillet and add the chicken, browning on all sides, about 15 minutes total; remove and transfer to the Dutch oven. To the pan drippings in the skillet add the potatoes, sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper and toss to coat. Add water and bring to a boil. Cover the skillet and boil the potatoes for about 3 to 4 minutes to steam them. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter to the potatoes; toss to coat completely. Transfer the potatoes to the Dutch oven, placing them around the chicken.
Sprinkle chicken with salt, add the parsley, thyme, and bay leaves; cover and place into the oven. Cook at 325 degrees F, covered, basting a couple of times with the pan juices, for about 1-1/4 to 1 hour 40 minutes, depending on the size chicken, or until chicken is cooked through. Carefully remove the chicken to a carving board, tent with aluminum foil and let rest for 5-10 minutes; cut into serving pieces.
If serving with French bread, while the chicken rests, turn the oven up to 400 degrees F, wrap French bread in aluminum foil and place in oven until warmed through. Transfer the chicken pieces to a platter, and using a slotted spoon, remove the potatoes and onion, placing those on the side of the chicken or in a separate serving dish. Pour the pan juices all over the top of the chicken, saving some to spoon over the individual servings, if desired. Remove and slice the hot French bread and use it to sop up the juices. Serve with a side salad or green vegetable.

6 pork chops, 1/2 inch thick
1 packet dry Ranch Dressing Seasoning
10 oz can Cream of Chicken Soup
4 lbs peeled, cubed potatoes
5 Tablespoons real butter
1 cup fresh grated Parmesan cheese
6 cloves roasted garlic (directions are below)

Place pork chops, Ranch seasoning and soup into a medium sized crock pot over high heat for 4 hours or low heat for 6 hours.

Scoop mashed potatoes onto serving plates and top with pork chops and soup gravy from crock pot. I put a little parsley on top to serve.

Chicken and Spinach Alfredo
Ingredients
- 1 (8 ounce) package lasagna noodles
- 3 cups heavy cream
- 2 (10.75 ounce) cans condensed cream of mushroom soup
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Garlic Powder
- 1 roasted chicken, shredded
- salt and ground black pepper to taste
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- 1 bunch fresh spinach, rinsed
- 3 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook lasagna noodles for 8 to 10 minutes, or until al dente. Drain, and rinse with cold water.
- In a saucepan over low heat, mix together heavy cream, cream of mushroom soup, Parmesan cheese, and butter. Simmer, stirring frequently, until well blended.
- Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Mix in the chicken with Garlic Powder, and cook until heated through. Season with salt and pepper.
- Lightly coat the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish with enough of the cream sauce mixture to coat. Layer with 1/3 of the lasagna noodles, 1/2 cup ricotta, 1/2 of the spinach, 1/2 the chicken mixture, and 1 cup mozzarella. Top with 1/2 the cream sauce mixture, and repeat the layers(reserving a cup of sauce). Place the remaining noodles on top, and spread with remaining sauce.
- Bake 1 hour in the preheated oven, or until brown and bubbly. Top with the remaining mozzarella, and continue baking until cheese is melted and lightly browned.
