Chicken in a Blanket

Tweet

  I am sure you will all agree it's a good idea to save for a rainy day.  Now, today's recipe is one like that.  I bungled up big time.  I am way off with photographing and even though I made some nice sauteed broccoli I  never got around to taking a picture.  However, these old pictures I had with me will save my day.  Its chicken marinated in garlic powder, salt, paparika and oregano wrapped in cooked cabbage leaf.  The name for the dish is probably a misnomer.  I got the idea of doing this dish after I read about pig in the blanket.  One of the reasons for keeping this recipe away for so long was in the hope that I will make pig in the blanket first and then as a variation talk about this one.  Well, some of our bad time management skills catches up with us and good intentions have to be sacrificed.

Ingredients:
Chicken Breast - 2
Garlic powder - 1/2 tspn (you could sprinkle some if you do not care for too much of a garlicky taste)
Oregano - 1/2 tspn (again it's optional add as much or little.)
Olive oil - 2 tspn
Salt - to taste
Cabbage leaves 6

Method:
1. Boil water with salt in a fairly large pan to immerse cabbage leaf without breaking it.
2. Cook for just a few minutes until you feel they are pliable and you can work with them to wrap meat in
3. Marinate chicken for an hour
4. Heat olive oil in a pan and cook chicken till done
5. Cut the chicken into small pieces and add jalepeno, pickled or fresh shallots finely chopped
6. Place the meat on one edge and carefully wrap it
7. It's ok if it breaks you can add a piece of chicken on top of your wrap and tightly secure it with a tooth pick

Enjoy as a snack
