If you're looking for a cozy, comforting dish that's packed with flavor and veggies, this Sausage Broccoli Cauliflower Gratin is just the ticket! With a creamy sauce and cheesy goodness, it’s perfect for weeknight dinners or a hearty side dish. Ingredients: - 1 pound Italian sausage, casings removed - 2 cups broccoli florets - 2 cups cauliflower florets - 1 cup heavy cream - 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese - 1 teaspoon garlic powder - 1 teaspoon onion powder - Salt and pepper to taste - 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese - 2 tablespoons olive oil - 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional) Directions: 1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). 2. In a large skillet over medium heat, heat the olive oil and add the Italian sausage. Cook until it's browned and fully cooked through, breaking it apart with a spatula—this should take about 5-7 minutes. 3. Next, toss in the broccoli and cauliflower florets and sauté everything together for another 5 minutes until the veggies are just starting to soften. 4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes if you’re in the mood for a little heat. 5. Pour this creamy mixture over the sausage and veggies in the skillet, stirring well to combine. 6. Transfer everything into a greased 9x13-inch baking dish, ensuring it’s spread out evenly. 7. Now’s the fun part! Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese generously over the top, followed by the grated Parmesan cheese. 8. Pop it into the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and beautifully golden brown. 9. Once it’s out of the oven, let it cool for a few minutes before serving.

Chef John's Chicken Kiev Golden Garlic Herb Butter Chicken Kiev Ingredients: 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened 2 cloves garlic, minced 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped 1 teaspoon lemon juice Salt and black pepper, to taste 1/2 cup all-purpose flour 2 large eggs, beaten 1 cup breadcrumbs 1/2 teaspoon paprika 1/4 cup vegetable oil (for frying) Fresh lemon wedges, for garnish Directions: In a small bowl, mix softened butter, garlic, parsley, dill, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Shape into a log using plastic wrap and freeze until firm, about 30 minutes. Pound each chicken breast between two sheets of plastic wrap to about 1/4-inch thickness. Slice frozen herb butter into four portions. Place one portion in the center of each chicken breast. Fold in the sides and roll tightly, securing with toothpicks. Place rolled chicken in the fridge for 30 minutes to set. Prepare three shallow bowls: flour in one, beaten eggs in another, and breadcrumbs mixed with paprika in the third. Dredge each chilled chicken roll in flour, then egg, then breadcrumb mixture. Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Fry each chicken roll for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden. Transfer to a baking sheet and bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 20–25 minutes, or until internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Remove toothpicks, rest for 5 minutes, and serve with lemon wedges.
