The Voice Kitchen: where recipes & voice talent blend!

Welcome to The Voice Kitchen podcast: where recipes and voice talent blend! I’m your host, Cheryl Holling

From savory soups to sweet desserts, this podcast has something for everyone. So whether you're a seasoned chef or just starting out in the kitchen, ‘The Voice Kitchen’ is a place for voice actors and foodies to gather ‘round a virtual table and share their most special recipes! You don’t have to be a VO to tune in to The Voice Kitchen so grab a mug of your favorite beverage and a seat at The Voice Kitchen!

I hope you enjoyed making the Saag Paneer shared in our last episode by the multi-talented Nadia Marshall.

Today’s VO Chef, Richard Durrington, originally hails from southern Idaho where at the age of 6, he learned to drive a tractor on his grandparents farm while helping to stack hay for the dairy cows. During his youth he continued to work on the farm where he cultivated a love and respect for the land and an understanding of where our food is sourced from; something most city kids don’t get to experience.

While a sophomore in High School, Richard took a Speech class and realized that he liked it, and in his Junior year signed up for the debate team, but quickly learned that he rather despised it! That fact wasn’t lost on the debate teacher who took him by the hand, led him to the Drama class and informed him that she'd be transferring him. This small town boy must have done well as he earned a college scholarship and performed in 40+ productions, with leads in such roles as Don Pedro in Much Ado about Nothing, Scrooge in A Christmas Carol and Oz in the Wizard of Oz to name a few.

After a 30 year detour, as an industrial laundry route salesman, Richard found his true calling in voiceover.

For the past 10 years, he’s been busy voicing in numerous genres while, to paraphrase his tagline, “Amplifying the Sound and Elevating Brands” such as The Red Cross, Cintas, Sykes Inc, Papa Inc, and countless small businesses, as this big-hearted guy has a soft spot for the little guy. Let’s get things cookin’ by welcoming Richard Durrington to The Voice Kitchen.

Tequila Lime Grilled Chicken Fajitas

INGREDIENTS

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 each sliced in strips, Red, Green and Yellow Bell Peppers

1 sliced in strips Onion

1 Bunch of Cilantro Chopped (optional)

½ cup of Tequila

1 Fresh squeezed Lime

¼ cup Chipotle Salsa

1 tsp Montreal Chicken seasoning

1 Fajitas seasoning pouch

1 container of Mrs. Dash Fiesta Lime seasoning

1/8 cup of Oil (I like Avocado)

Add on items: Cheese, Salsa, Sour cream, guacamole, tomato slices, etc.

DIRECTIONS

• Prepare the Grill: Preheat your Grill to Med High, Around 10 min ahead of doing any grilling. Place a smoker box on the grill that has a single layer of Wood Pellets in it to get it smoking well before veggies or chicken are added to the grill.

• Prepare the chicken: Flatten the chicken breasts to about 1/2 inch thickness using a meat mallet

• Put the Marinade Mix in a One Gallon Ziplock bag: Mix in the Tequila, Lime, Chipotle, Montreal Chicken, Fajita seasoning and Oil. Then add the chicken, leaving it flat in the fridge for at least 20-30 min.

• Oil the Vegetables lightly: Place them on the grill in the pan that has loads of holes in it, on one side of the grill, turn frequently. You want to start the vegetables 5-7 min before the chicken. Just before they are nearly done shake on a decent amount of the Mrs. Dash Fiesta Lime and add the optional chopped Cilantro just before taking them up. The veggies should have some slight char on them and still be crunchy.

• Grilling the Marinated Chicken: Grill until you have decent grill marks and the chicken is no less than 158 degrees but no more than 165.

• Serve: Let the chicken rest for 5-10 min lightly covered in foil, then do thin slices on the biased for all to make their own additions ie. Cheese, Salsa, Sour cream, guacamole, tomato slices, etc
