RANCH POTATOES
 
5 potatoes- clean and cubed
1/2 cube butter
Minced garlic
1/2 Hidden Valley Ranch packet
 
Clean and cube potatoes.  Boil until done, but not soft (approx. 10 minutes).  Drain.  In to empty pot melt butter.  Add garlic and cook.  Stir in sour cream and Ranch packet.  Warm until melted and combined.  Add the potatoes and mix well.


CHICKEN KIEV
 
2 large chicken breasts, cut in half long wise and then pounded thin (can buy breasts that have already been pounded thin)
1 cube butter, softened
2 lemons
2 tsp. finely minced garlic
2  tsp. fresh dill, chopped fine
2/3 cup flour
2 Tbl. lemon pepper
Season salt to taste
2 eggs, beaten with 1/4 cup milk
2 cups lemon pepper flavored Panko bread crumbs
 
Cut chicken in half-length wise.  Pound with mallet until thin.  Set aside.  
Place softened butter into a bowl.  Mix with the zest of one lemon, the juice from one lemon, plus the garlic and dill.  With a small scoop, make mounds of butter on parchment paper.  Freeze until well frozen, approx. one hour.
Into one shallow bowl or pie tin place flour, lemon pepper and season salt.  Into another shallow bowl put egg and milk mixture.  Into a third shallow bowl place bread crumbs.
To assemble the chicken place frozen butter into center of chicken breast.  Roll chicken around butter and secure with a tooth pick.  Continue with all the breasts.  Take one chicken bundle and completely coat in flour mixture, the coat in egg mixture and finally coat with bread crumbs.  Continue with all the breasts.  
You may cook in either two ways:  
1st:  Place on a rack on top of a cookie sheet.  Bake in a 375 degree oven until chicken is done and coating is crispy...  Approx. 30 minutes.
2nd:  Place into a 375 degree deep fryer.  Fry until golden brown- approx. 3-5 minutes.  Place on a rack on top of a cookie sheet.  Bake at 350 for approximately 10 minutes or until chicken is done inside.  
Remove from oven.  Immediately top breasts with the juice of second lemon.
