Sports Cynts Show Recipe Ingredients for June 18, 2010

Get ready for a healthy show!  Join us Friday, June 18 at 12:30 p.m. ET on http://www.blogtalkradio.com/sportscynts! We’re going to get to the heart of what's going on in sports and prepare a heart healthy appetizer that was originally prepared on April 16. Why am I repeating a recipe you ask?  After going back to listen to the April 16th show, I realized that my phone was on mute until about the last few minutes of the show, so there was no audio.  We’ll talk about the NBA Finals (and congratulate the champion), NFL Football, College Football and of course, mention World Cup Soccer and golf briefly!  This week’s recipe is Pesto Chicken and Squash Bites.

If you would like to follow along with the recipe during the show, here are the ingredients you’ll need:

Pesto Chicken and Squash Bites

1 pound, skinless boneless chicken breast halves
2 small size zucchini halved lengthwise
2 small yellow summer squash halved lengthwise
¼ cup purchased basil pesto
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon pepper
Broiler Pan
Aluminum Foil or Broiler pan foil sheets
Toothpicks or short bamboo skewers

Sports Cynts Show for February 19, 2010

Today’s show was great! The main topic was Tiger Woods and his press conference. I don’t think Tiger owed anyone an apology except his family and maybe his sponsors. No matter what he said or how he was going to do the press conference, it was going to be analyzed, scrutinized, over analyzed and over scrutinized. My being a fan of his has nothing to do with his personal life, only what he does on the golf course.

I also gave my opinion on the Winter Olympic Games. Who came up with Curling and why is it a sport, not to mention an Olympic Sport? I don’t watch much of the Olympics, but I do keep up with the medal count. As of show time, the U.S. was ahead of all other nations in total number of medals (18) and in each medal!

Stars not participating in the NBA Slam Dunk Competition made it boring and the upcoming NFL Combine and Draft were other subjects of the show.

The appetizer for today was Chicken Pockets and today’s dessert was Apple Pockets. The recipes are below.

Chicken Pockets
4 servings

3 oz softened cream cheese
2 tablespoons milk
¼ teaspoon salt
Dash black pepper
2 cups cooked and diced chicken
2 tablespoons finely chopped green onions
1 8-ounce tube refrigerated crescent rolls
2 tablespoons melted butter
Mixing bowl
Parchment paper
Baking sheet

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Place a sheet of parchment paper on the baking sheet.

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese and milk. Stir in the salt, pepper and green onions. Add the chicken and mix thoroughly.

Unroll the crescent rolls and place them on the parchment-covered baking sheet, but don’t separate the dough into the crescent roll triangles. Press the dotted seams between each crescent roll until the line splitting the crescent rolls is not visible.

Place ¼ of the mix in the center of each rectangle and bring the corners up to the center. Press the seams to seal.

Brush the top of the pockets with the melted butter. Bake in the oven for 25 minutes until the pockets are brown.

Apple Pockets
16 servings

4 apples - peeled, cored and chopped
¼ cup brown sugar
¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon nutmeg
2 packages Pillsbury refrigerated rolled pie crust – 4 pie crusts
2 tablespoons melted butter (optional)
Cinnamon-sugar (optional)
Mixing bowl
Parchment paper
Baking Sheet

Preheat oven to 350 degrees and cover the baking sheet with parchment paper.

Place the apples in a large bowl and toss with the brown sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg.\

Unroll and divide each pie crust into quarters. Place an even amount of the apple mixture in each quarter. Fold the corners and sides up until completely sealed. Make a small slit in each pocket for a steam vent. (Optional – Brush the tops of the pockets with melted butter and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar).

Bake in the oven for 30 minutes until golden brown.

Please give me your feedback on the show and the recipes and join us next week for more sports and more food!

Thank you for your support!
