ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT FLATHEADBEACON.COM SIDE DISH FVCC Chef Howard Karp
Parmesan-Crusted Chicken with Asparagus
THIS MEAL WAS PREPARED BY students of The Culinary Institute of Montana at FVCC. This picture-perfect dish really turned out to be a crowd pleaser. I hope you’ll enjoy it!
TOMATO CONFIT
• 8 plum tomatoes, halved
• 4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced • 2 tbsp. fresh thyme
• Salt and granulated sugar
• Olive oil (for drizzling)
Preheat oven to 200 degrees. Brush sheet pan with oil. Sprinkle salt and sugar onto pan with half the sliced garlic and thyme. Lay tomato halves on pan. Sprinkle
with salt, sugar
and remaining
garlic and thyme.
Cook slowly
for two hours.
Remove from oven
and remove skin
(should come off
easily). Let it sit at
room temperature
for plating.
YUKON POTATO RISOTTO/ASPARAGUS
• 1 pound Yukon Potatoes, peeled • 2 cups heavy cream
• 2 tbsp. butter
• 1 onion, finely diced
• 1 pound fresh asparagus, cut to 1-inch sections
• Kosher salt and finely ground pepper
Using a chef’s knife, dice the potatoes into 1/8-inch pieces. Immerse diced potatoes in cream, and cover bowl with plastic wrap. Refrigerate at least 2 hours or overnight.
Melt butter in large sauce pan over medium heat. Add minced onion and cook until translucent, (around 4 minutes). Drain potatoes, saving the cream, and add potatoes to sauce pan. Stir into onions, then add cream. Bring to a boil, and simmer for 15 minutes. Season to taste.
Plunge asparagus into boiling salted water for 30 seconds. Add to finished potato risotto and stir gently to avoid breaking apart the asparagus.
PARMESAN-CRUSTED CHICKEN
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 4 large eggs
• 1/2 cup milk
• 3 cups fresh white bread crumbs • 3 cups Parmesan cheese
• 8 boneless skinless chicken breasts (6-8 oz. each)
• Salt and pepper to taste • 3 tbsp. ghee butter
Set up three shallow bowls for the breading procedure. Put flour in first bowl, beat together eggs and milk in second bowl, and mix bread crumbs and grated cheese
in third bowl. Season chicken
breasts with salt and pepper. Dredge into flour and pat off the excess flour. Dredge into egg wash, then into
bread crumb/parmesan mixture to coat the breast.
Heat sauté pan, and add butter. Sprinkle in a few crumbs to test temperature. When it starts to bubble, add four chicken breasts without overcrowding the pan. Cook one side for a few minutes until golden brown, then turn over and sauté for an additional few minutes (breasts will be under cooked). Continue with remaining chicken. Place breasts onto cookie sheet, and finish in oven at 325 degrees until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 160 degrees. Allow to rest five to six minutes before serving.
To plate: Place risotto on plate, top with chicken breast, and garnish with tomato confit. Serves eight.

Denton Moberly purchased a brand new Harley Davidson XL 1200 Nightster in 2008. Shortly af- ter his purchase he was deployed to Iraq. He was wounded there and upon his return home found he could not ride due to complications with his injuries. He and his wife Tony lived in Shelby MT while Denton worked for the Border Patrol. Since his return, Denton hoped that he would be able to rehabilitate his leg and ride his Harley once more in Montana. In 2014, as Denton and Tony were getting ready to move to Missouri, Denton came to the realization that his riding days were over. He decided he wanted to donate his motorcycle to Montana Wounded Warriors so that it could be raffled and the proceeds used to continue to bring
wounded veterans together for outdoor activities. His wife Tony wrote to us and said, “Thank you again for helping my husband help others and still feel “useful” at this difficult transition time.” Montana Wounded Warriors would like to express our appreciation, not only for Denton’s donation to the organization, but for his service to our country.
This 2008 Harley Davidson XL 1200 Nightster has only 240 miles on it and is in immaculate condition and books at $6500.00. Montana Wounded Warriors will be selling 100 tickets for $100.00 apiece. You can purchase raffle tickets at: Army Navy Kalispell or Valley Ford in Kalis- pell. LESS THEN 25 TICKETS LEFT!
