Chicken Kiev has a perfect coating on the outside and lots of fresh seasoning hidden on the inside!
You know you are getting old when you start to notice the price of gas. Actually, it’s not just that you notice them, but that you proceed to talk about it to whomever will listen. “$1.88 for gas? Well I haven’t seen those prices in years”. Then you go on and on about how you remember when gas was $4 and how that expensive gas had a ripple effect upon everything else you bought. You had to hoard gallons of milk in your freezer whenever they went on sale just in case the price of gas sky-rocketed again. Just for the record, I never actually froze gallons of milk but I thought it fit in nicely with my story.
I did recently catch myself getting a little too excited over cheap gas. Good thing I caught it early so I could put a halt to the premature aging process. For a split second I debated about whether I should go and do something reckless, young and carefree. Nothing sounded good so instead I just made dinner.
I made somewhat of an old fashioned recipe today. Chicken Kiev is a throwback meal (just like cheap gas). Traditionally, chicken Kiev is comprised of chicken breasts that have been pounded until very thin and then breaded. The chicken is rolled around cold, seasoned butter and baked, or sometimes fried.
This retro meal of chicken Kiev and all that talk of cheap gas just might inspire me to puff up my bangs with hair spray and make a mixed cassette tape.
Watch out kids, the 80’s are coming back!
