Pleasant Pheasant
"I made this one up, and my husband says, "You need to put this one in your online recipe stuff". Well, that's a very nice compliment from him, so here it goes! It can be modified with your favorite marinade, to create a different favor to compliment any meal. We serve this over white rice. Time listed does not include marinating time."

- Ready In:
- 40mins
- Ingredients:
- 10
- Serves:
-
4
ingredients
- 4 boneless skinless pheasant breasts
-
Marinade (substitute your favorite if preferred)
- 1⁄4 cup soy sauce
- 2 garlic cloves, sliced
- 1⁄4 cup onion, diced
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1⁄4 cup rice vinegar
-
Remaining Ingredients
- 1⁄2 cup flour
- 2 -4 tablespoons butter
- 1⁄2 - 1 cup chicken broth
- 1⁄4 cup cilantro
directions
- Marinate the pheasant breasts over night (or for as long as possible) in your favorite marinade, or mix together the soy sauce, garlic, onion, honey and vinegar for a yummy asian-inspired marinade.
- Remove pheasants from marinade, and coat in flour. We do not rinse off marinade, or allow to drip off, so that the flour makes a nice coating on the pheasant.
- Heat a frying pan with butter, and place coated pheasant in pan.
- Allow to brown on each side, then add 1/4 cup of chicken broth, or enough to create some liquid on the bottom. Add cilantro.
- Cover and allow pheasant to cook for 4-6 minutes per side, until cooked through. Don't let all the chicken broth cook off, or it could burn. Add more if necessary.
- Once done, take pheasant out of pan, and add chicken broth, a little at a time, scraping the bottom of the pan to create a gravy.
- Serve with rice, or noodles.
-
Variations:
- instead of chicken broth, use chicken noodle soup and some water! Or,
- use your favorite marinate. Or,
- after browning, and adding liquid (or soup with some water), put it in a 350 degree oven for 20-30 minutes - then proceed as directed.

Delicious, yummy, Finger licking good. Taste is perfect. My husband and I love it so much. Added the marinade, chicken powder seasoning and water simmer it in a low heat. served with yellow rice pilaf and steamed broccoli. Thank you so much to my brother in law for giving us some pheasants. This is a keeper. Nothing I can ask for. Thank you for sharing. -

Tried this recipe tonight and it was delicious. My husband and son both raved about it as well. Excellent flavor! I give it 5 stars!

This is excellent! I made it with (dare I say) road kill pheasant - saw it hit by a car, turned around and picked it up and did it up in this recipe using just the breasts. My husband raved about it! I had no cilantro, so added some grated ginger and served it over rice. We licked the platter clean! Quite simple, yet beautiful in presentation and with a complexity of flavor that belies the simple preparation! My compliments to you, Haversac! -
The flavors and technique are perfect for pheasant. Can't wait to give this one a shot. We just made a sauce for pasta out of wild pheasant meat and it was pretty darned good. http://yourfoodchoices.wordpress.com

I love the upper midwest, where my husband and I have made our home. We raise our two beautiful children in a small town west of the Twin Cities.
I am an engineer who has progressed to Stay At Home Mom and now just recently, Homeschooler. Never in a million years would I have expected THIS! Now, my focus has progressed from career-driven to family-driven.
I love to cook, and I use my engineering degree in my cooking. I love to learn how to do things, and why things work. Some of the things I've learned is: How to make yogurt, cheese, soap, and many other things that my friends taunt me about. I don't mind. I would go nuts otherwise.
My husband only gets paid once a month. So, I have become a meal planner & Once A Month Cooking lover. I shop on the first of the month, and only buy needed dairy and fresh ingredients through the rest of the month. So, I look for meals that work with our plans.
And, one last note: I do have a small job to get me out of the house. I am a dance instructor, and LOVE to dance (which is where my silly photo came from). So, if you were to peek in my windows (which I don't recommend by the way - he he he) you'd see me cooking and dancing. They seem to go together SO WELL!!
