As is, WAY TOO SWEET! I hate being the one who says nay when there are obviously many who disagree with me, but rhubarb desserts should have a little "tart" to them, don't you think? There was far too much sugar. I think it would have been bearable had I left the insane amount of sugar topping off. I don't know...I will not be making this one again. The search continues.
The best we've ever had ANYWHERE! Some tips: I hate pounding chicken breasts, so I filet them instead by firmly holding the breast flat on the counter with the palm of my hand then sliding my very sharp knife through horizontally to get 2 equally thin "filets" that wrap and roll perfectly. Also, I cut my swiss cheese right off the block into a little rectangle, fold thinly sliced deli ham around it, then wrap the chicken breast around the nice tidy package of ham and cheese. It works like a charm. I think the spiral created by layering slices is prettier, but for my family, I go for ease of preparation! I like to roll and dip in flour earlier in the day, so the coating has time to "set" before frying in butter. It's delightful. SO good.
5 for flavor...4 for final product. As is typical for me, I couldn't get the bread out of the pan. LINE with PARCHMENT in the future!! (And there will be a future.) I subbed melted butter and coconut oil for the vegetable oil and used vinegar instead of the lemon juice as it was what I had on hand. Other than that I followed directions and the taste and texture were fabulous. It also took about an hour for the loaves to be done. Next time I might try making into muffins instead -- shorter cooking time, and I don't have to worry about sticking. Liners. :)
I used honey to replace the brown sugar, fresh minced ginger and garlic, and grapeseed oil to replace the unhealthy vegetable oil. I brought the marinade to a simmer then cooled it overnight in the fridge before marinating the chops. I let them sit all day, then grilled them over relatively high heat. These got a bit blackened on the grill due to the sugar content of the marinade, but I thought they were otherwise wonderful, flavorful and juicy. I will just have to watch them more carefully to prevent the deep charring of the grill marks. Served along a simple ginger/garlic saute of sugar snap peas and bias cut carrots with shallots. Will make again.
I changed this just slightly, doubling the onion and garlic powders, adding 1/4 tsp. marjoram, and only using (less than) 1/8 tsp. of cayenne pepper. It was just spicy enough. My husband, who is always the skeptic, enjoyed it very much. Thanks for a great recipe!! :)
