Shout out to the ACF (American Culinary Federation) Junior Team 2005 for inspiring this outrageously delicious Chicken Ballotine we prepare every Christmas. While it is a labor intensive process including scraping the meat off the chicken bones, pulsing with cream/herbs in a food processor, stuffing the chicken mousse in the chicken skin, wrapping in cheesecloth, simmering in chicken stock, searing/baking till crisp, it is SO WORTH the effort! Swipe thru the photos to view the process. 😊 Merry Christmas to each of you, and cheers to traditional and non-traditional adventures in your home! @stpaulmeatshop @thomasliquors @hopebutter #chickenballotine #acf #mn #uppermidwestfoodshow #artinstitutesinternationalminnesota #culinaryarts #pastrychef #culinaryclasses #cheflife (at Minneapolis, Minnesota) https://www.instagram.com/p/CJOj_RrlSGT/?igshid=gnh92xl91rc5
