Servings: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 2 4-ounce pheasant breasts, boneless and skinless
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 8 ounces cream cheese
- ¼ cup sour cream
- ¼ cup Hellman's mayonnaise
- ¼ cup Frank's RedHot Sauce
- 1 tablespoon Hidden Valley Ranch Seasoning
- ¼ teaspoon cumin
- ¼ teaspoon smoked paprika
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ cup Blue cheese crumbles
- ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 green onion, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Tenderize each pheasant breast on a cutting board with a Jaccard meat tenderizer.
- Using a cast iron skillet, get olive oil and butter hot over medium high heat, and sauté pheasant breasts for 3 minutes on one side and about 2 minutes on the other. Try not to overcook them! Use a meat thermometer to try and get them at a perfect 150 degrees F. Move to a plate, tent with aluminum foil, and let rest for 10 minutes.
- Use a sharp knife to chop the cooked pheasant into bite-size pieces. Or using your fingers or two forks, shred the pheasant meat and set aside.
- In a medium mixing bowl, blend the cream cheese, mayonnaise, sour cream, hot sauce, ranch seasoning, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and Blue cheese.
- Add mozzarella cheese and shredded pheasant and stir until well combined.
- Transfer to a small casserole dish and bake at 375 degrees F for 20 minutes. Garnish with chopped green onion and serve warm with crackers, chips, or veggies.
