INSTRUCTIONS
Make puff pastry bowls according to directions below. Bake puff pastry bowls at 400° for 10 to 12 minutes. Cool 10 minutes on a wire rack with custard cup in pastry. Remove custard cup, and cool pastry on wire rack. Combine bell pepper and next 6 ingredients; set aside. Combine salt, pepper, and paprika in a large bowl; add chicken pieces, tossing to coat evenly. Spread in a lightly greased 15- x 10-inch jellyroll pan. Sprinkle with 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil, stirring to coat. Bake at 450° for 7 to 10 minutes, stirring once. Stir in vegetable mixture; bake 25 more minutes or until browned, stirring twice. Spoon into pastry bowls; garnish, if desired. Serve immediately. Makes 4 servings. Rules for Roasting Roasting chicken at a high temperature (450°) for a short time, then lowering the temperature for the remaining cooking time seals in the juices and keeps the chicken moist and tender. While you can also roast a broiler-fryer with good results, chickens specifically for roasting are labeled "roasting broilers." These birds generally weigh more and are meatier and more succulent. If you are roasting a broiler-fryer (which normally weighs approximately 3 pounds), decrease baking time by about 45 minutes. Let roasted chicken stand for 10 minutes after removing it from the oven. This standing time "sets" the juices and makes for a more flavorful bird. Roast chicken on a rack in a broiler pan so fat can drip off and away from the bird. Rival restaurant-style presentation with the convenience of puff pastry sheets. 1) Invert 4 (6-ounce) custard cups on a lightly greased baking sheet. Lightly grease outsides of cups. 2) Roll each pastry sheet into an 11-inch square. Cut in half diagonally. 3) Mold each portion of pastry around outsides of cups; allow edges to extend from bowls onto baking sheet. Trim edges of dough to form equal triangles, using the shortest point as a guide. Recipe by: Southern Living Posted to MC-Recipe Digest V1 #1035 by Suzy Wert <SuzyWert@aol.com> on Jan 23, 1998
A Message from our Provider:
“If thankfulness does not move us to serve God, then we do not truly understand who our God is and what He has done in our behalf. Without gratitude for Christ’s sacrificial love, our duty will become nothing more than drudgery and our God nothing more than a dissatisfied boss. #Bryan Chapell”
