Directions

Chili

1. Heat a frying pan and a tablespoon of oil. Add ground beef and cook thoroughly. Once cooked, remove from pan, place into sieve, and drain off any excess oil. In a pan fry onions, peppers, and garlic, once cooked add the ground beef back in. Add chili powder, cayenne, paprika, tomatoes, and tomato sauce. Simmer and stir for 30 minutes. Add water and beans and season to taste.

Stuffed Chicken

1. Lay out your butterflied chicken breasts. Layer ham and cheese on the inside. Take some chili and spread it over the top of the ham and cheese. Take the widest edge of the breast and roll it away from yourself. Place them in the fridge.

2. Take three separate bowls. In one, put in the panko breadcrumbs. In the next, add the black pepper, salt, and flour. In the last, whisk the egg.

3. Take one chicken breast and cover in flour, tapping off any excess. Then submerge into the egg, and then finally cover with panko breadcrumbs. Do this to the other chicken breast.

4. You can either bake or fry the chicken. To bake; place in oven at 350F for 30 minutes.

5. To fry; place three cups of oil in a frying pan and heat to 350F. Place chicken in hot oil and cook for 5 minutes and then flip. When the chicken is a light golden brown bake for 20 minutes in oven. Serve warm.
