Dixie Chicken

Main Dish

Ingredients

6 5-6 ounce chicken breasts, boneless, skinless

1/2 cup No-Stick Grilling Marinade for Poultry

2 tsp poultry seasoning

6 canned pineapple rings

3/4 lb honey cured ham, shaved thin

6 1-ounce slices Swiss cheese

Instructions

Using a pastry brush, coat the chicken breast with the no-stick marinade. Refrigerate 30 minutes. Sprinkle breast with the poultry seasoning.

Prepare the grill. Cook the chicken over direct high heat for 10-12 minutes, turning once.

During the last few minutes of cooking, place the pineapple rings on the grill and cook two minutes, turning once.

Once cooked, but while the chicken is still on the grill, top each piece with approximately two ounces of shaved ham and one slice of swiss cheese. Place the cover back on the grill and cook until the cheese is melted and the ham is hot. Top each breast with a ring of grill pineapple and serve.

Orange and Bourbon Glazed Duck for Drew

My brother Drew and I were always wound up on Christmas Eve. He was four years older, but you’d never know it by how excited we both were. He’d be bouncing off the walls, too keyed up to sleep, while I’d follow his lead like I always did. When we finally did drift off, it wouldn’t be long before he’d shake me awake before dawn, eyes shining like he hadn’t slept a wink. Those early mornings felt like magic. Now, Christmas means he’s usually out duck hunting in the Delta, his favorite place on earth. He loves the hunt and the calm that comes with being out in the field before the sun rises. I thought of him when I put together this recipe. It’s a little bit of Drew—those wild December mornings in the Delta and the quiet way he’s always looked out for me.

Honey Bundt Cake

This bundt cake brings back memories of family gatherings on Bellewood Drive where sweets were as much a part of the celebration as the presents under the tree. The warm notes of cinnamon and honey make it a natural fit for holiday mornings or as the perfect finish to a Christmas feast. The pomegranate glaze adds a bright, tart finish that keeps things interesting. Make sure to grease every nook and cranny of your bundt pan thoroughly. Use butter and dust with flour for a clean release. Also, letting the cake cool for a solid twenty minutes before flipping is key to avoiding a sticky mess.
