ok...tonite had a craving for my pasta with fried jalapeno peppers with a chicken breast stuffed with ham...i know...sounds familiar...i just had it...i said craving...CRAVABLE my friends!!!...but tonite i left out the mozzarella cheese...and used smoked ham instead of honey ham...

ok...first up...quarter your jalapeno peppers...in your cast iron pan...a little vegetable oil...on medium low about 25 minutes...

strips of fiery love...

a little chicken with my ham!!...

a light dusting of flour...in your cast iron pan...with a little extra virgin olive oil...cook about 6 minutes a side...

time to eat...

 a little sprinkle of parmesan cheese...A LOT of butter...and enough pinot grigio!!...

the fried jalapenos had the perfect amount of heat...but mingling with the butter and cheese...that's where the craving begins...

THEN...you add in the ham stuffed chicken...your done!!...you have now hit CRAVABLE!!...look at the gorgeous sear on that chicken!!...used a little higher heat this time!...ok...now grandma annie and i always had honey ham with peppers...however...substituting the smoked ham for the honey ham?...excellent!!!...the smoke?...just another layer of deliciousness!!...i'm sure grandma annie would love it!...

like i said...a little chicken with my ham right?!...

a little bite of everything...
