Answer 1

Try making coq au vin. It's a French dish that consists of chicken and red wine. I like it, but I also like a LOT of foods. idk if you guys are picky, but it's a well known dish. It's very tasty and I think it's romantic. Not to difficult either. Here's an easy recipe:

Garlic Stuffed Chicken. I made this for my boyfriend, and it sure was a winner!

• oil, for greasing pan

• 8 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves

• 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, cut into 1/2 inch slices

• 1 (8 ounce) package Cheddar cheese, cut into 1/2 inch slices

• 1 cup milk

• 1 1/2 cups Italian seasoned bread crumbs

• 1/2 cup grated Romano cheese

• 1 tablespoon minced garlic

• 3/4 cup butter, melted

• 2 tablespoons lemon juice

• 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt, or to taste

• 1/2 teaspoon paprika (optional)

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly coat a large, shallow baking dish with oil.

2. Butterfly each breast by slicing in half horizontally through the center, cutting almost but not completely through. Place one slice each of Cheddar and cream cheese in the center of each breast. Close again as if placing between the pages of a book. Set aside.

3. Pour milk into a shallow bowl. In a separate bowl, combine breadcrumbs and Romano cheese. Carefully dip each breast first in milk, then in breadcrumb mixture, patting lightly to firmly coat. Place b*****s side by side in a single layer in pre-oiled baking dish, tucking edges under to seal.

4. Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir in lemon juice and garlic, and drizzle evenly over chicken. Season b*****s with garlic salt and paprika, if using.

Bake in preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until no longer pink in center and juices run clear.

Or, Turkey Stuffed Portabella Mushrooms. If he's not into ground turkey, just use regular chopped meat.

2. 1 sweet onion, thinly sliced lengthwise

3. 2 teaspoons cider vinegar

4. 1/2 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary

5. 3/4 teaspoon ground sage

6. 1/2 teaspoon salt

7. 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper

8. 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg

9. 1 pound 93%-lean ground turkey

10. 4 medium-large portobello mushrooms, stems and gills removed

2. Cooking Directions

1. Position rack in the lowest position; preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

2. Place oil and onion in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally and reducing heat as necessary to prevent scorching, until softened and starting to turn golden, about 20 minutes. Stir in vinegar.

3. Meanwhile, combine rosemary, sage, salt, pepper and nutmeg in a small dish. Place turkey in a medium bowl and sprinkle the spice mixture over it. Gently knead to combine. Form into 4 equal balls. Rub mushrooms on both sides with Worcestershire. Place one turkey ball in each mushroom cap, patting down to fill the cap. Place on a baking sheet.

4. Bake the stuffed mushrooms on the bottom rack until the mushrooms begin to soften, about 20 minutes. Remove from the oven, spread the onion mixture over the filling and top with cheese. Continue baking until the cheese is melted and golden and the turkey is cooked through, about 10 minutes more.
