Segment 5 (Cheryl's Recipe Corner)

• Easy Napoleons

• Description
  • While I am a cake decorator by day, Russ and I aren't huge fans (anymore, anyway) of cake - but give us a yummy Napoleon and we're all over it. This recipe calls for the use of Vanilla pudding, but you can use ANY pudding that you desire (Lemon, Lime and Strawberry flavors are excellent). This would be perfect for a special occasion (especially something like Mother's Day, which is coming up in a few days - or Easter). The chocolate glaze is optional.

• Ingredients
  • 1 (17.3-ounce) package puff pastry (2 sheets)
  • 2 (4-serving size) packages instant vanilla pudding and pie filling
  • 1 3/4 cups milk, divided
  • 1 (8-ounce) container frozen whipped topping, thawed
  • 2 cups confectioners' sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon unsweetened cocoa

• Directions
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Bake the puff pastry sheets according to the package directions; remove from the oven and allow to cool. In a medium bowl, combine the pudding mix and 1-1/2 cups milk. Whisk until thickened, then fold in the whipped topping. Spread the mixture over 1 layer of puff pastry. Place the other puff pastry flat side up over the pudding. Using a cookie sheet, press down lightly to evenly distribute the pudding and flatten the pastry just until the filling begins to ooze out the sides. Combine the confectioners' sugar and the remaining 1/4 cup milk; mix well. Reserve 2 tablespoons of the glaze in a small bowl; spread the remaining glaze over the top of the napoleon. Stir the cocoa into the reserved glaze; mix well. Drizzle over the glazed napoleon and chill for at least 3 hours before serving. Carefully cut into serving-sized pieces with a serrated knife.

• American Airlines UFO Report Caught on Ham Radio
  A ham radio user caught what appears to be a UFO report near Nephi, Utah while monitoring airline communications between commercial airliners and the control tower. The conversation was not recorded. However, UFO researchers were able to get a copy of the transmission from the Federal Aviation Administration in response to a Freedom of Information Act request.

Segment 5 (Cheryl's Recipe Corner)

• Pepperoni-Stuffed Chicken Breasts

• Description
  • Russ LOVES pepperoni, and anything Italian, and I LOVE stuffed chicken breasts. There are so many things you can do with them, you never really run out of options. This recipe is another one that has been a while since I've prepared, but Russ loved it. It's great served with a side of pasta with some tomato sauce on it, a salad and some piping hot garlic bread! And this is a easy dish to prepare! Double thumbs-up!

• Ingredients
  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 12 slices pepperoni
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • Cooking spray (like Pam)
  • 1/4 cup Italian style panko crispy bread crumbs

• Directions
  • Heat oven to 375°F. Line cookie sheet with foil. Place chicken breasts flat on cutting surface. With knife parallel to cutting surface, cut lengthwise slit in each chicken breast, forming a pocket, keeping other 3 sides intact. Stuff each chicken breast with pepperoni and mozzarella cheese, pressing edges of each chicken breast to seal. Place chicken breasts on cookie sheet. Spray tops of chicken with cooking spray. Sprinkle bread crumbs evenly over chicken breasts. Spray with cooking spray. Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until juice of chicken is clear when center of thickest part is cut (at least 165°F).
