Smooth Chicken Scholl

Here is a creamy, dreamy skillet chicken that is an easy one pan dinner. It is named in honor of a true LGBT hero from World War Two Germany that you might never have heard of. Learn about this courageous young man and the power of words right after the recipe.

Pan fried chicken thighs in a creamy cheese sauce with grapes. By using a low fat cheese and relying on the blend of flavors we can feel good about this comfort meal. 

 

Ingredients

• 4 boneless skinless chicken thighs (about 1 1/4 pounds)
• ¼ cup flour
• ¼ teaspoon salt + ¼ tsp pepper
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
• ½ cup chopped onions
• 1 cup fresh sliced mushrooms
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 1 cup seedless red grapes
• ½ pkg cream cheese softened.

Directions

Do your cutting: chop the onion and garlic, rinse the mushroom and let dry. 

 

Mix four, salt and pepper. Coat chicken with mixture; shake off excess and reserve 2 Tbs.

Heat oil in large skillet over medium-high heat.

Sauteed the chicken. Cook 5 to 7 minutes, turning chicken once, until chicken is no longer pink in center, and remove it to a plate.

Saute the mushrooms and onion about 5 minutes. When the mushrooms were almost done, add the garlic. Cooked with the garlic for 30 seconds.

Mix 2 Tbs of remaining flour mix into the cup of chicken broth. Pour into skillet.

Cut up the cream cheese into 1 inch cubes and stir into mixture. Continue to cook, stirring until mixture melts and thickens.

Return chicken to skillet. Cover and let simmer to blend flavors.

When ready to serve, spoon in the grapes and place on platter.

This goes nicely with a simple side of green beans.

Hans Scholl

LGBT's have been with us since before the reach of history. Yet for a thousand years they have been erased from collective conscience. Even when their contributions had to be acknowledged, these were bleached of any mention of homosexuality.

To present them again and bring to light their work is a labor I undertake nearly every day. No one expects you to know each and every one, nor remember each and every thing they did. However we MUST know that they existed and that there were great achievements!

Perhaps after all these millennia kids will be able to know there are others. No young person should ever again feel like they are the only one who is “this way”. You are not alone. You have a place. You have a heritage!

Even within today's scientific community of historians there is the same prejudice and hatred that wishes to eliminate all things they don't understand. Thankfully phrases like “the unspeakable acts of the Greeks” and “the love that dares not speak its name” have faded. New ones have taken their place “to protect religious freedom”.

Words do have power but they are not to be feared. They are to be understood. They are to be used. Ideas must be discussed if we are to be able to live and learn.

White Rose

Hitler's Germany was swallowing up Europe in the early summer of 1942. A young medical student named Hans Scholl, his sister Sophie, Alexander Schmorell and three other students, co-authored six anti-Nazi political resistance leaflets. Calling themselves the White Rose, they instructed Germans to practice nonviolent resistance against the Nazis.

The leaflets were distributed around the Universities of Munich and Hamburg. They also mailed the leaflets to doctors, scholars, and pub owners throughout Germany.

On 18 February 1943, Hans and Sophie were spotted by a custodian while throwing leaflets from the atrium at Ludwig Maximilians University. They were arrested by the Gestapo and quickly tried for treason. The show trial found both guilty and condemned to death.

Hans and Sophie Scholl were beheaded in Munich's Stadelheim Prison, only a few hours later. Scholl's last words were "Es lebe die Freiheit!" ("Long live freedom!").

Shortly thereafter, most of the other students involved were arrested and executed as well.

The effect of Scholl's actions and resistance is hard to imagine.

Following the deaths, a copy of a White Rode leaflet was smuggled out of Germany. It was used by the Allied Forces.

In mid-1943, they dropped over Germany millions of copies of the tract, now re-titled The Manifesto of the Students of Munich.

The White Rose's legacy has major significance, both as a demonstration of courage, and as a well-documented case of social dissent. It has been called the most spectacular moment of resistance in the twentieth century.

Holocaust historian Jud Newborn noted that you cannot measure the effect of this kind of resistance... The White Rose really has a more symbolic value, but that's a very important value.

Yet what do we know of the man named Hans Scholl?

He was the son of Robert and Magdalena Scholl, born in 1918.

Against His father's wishes, he and his sister joined the Hitler Youth.

Elisabeth Scholl said: "We just dismissed it: he's too old for this stuff, he doesn't understand. My father had a pacifist conviction and he championed that. But we were all excited in the Hitler youth, sometimes even with the Nazi leadership." Their allegiance quickly changed. "First, we saw that one could no longer read what one wanted to, or sing certain songs. Then came the racial legislation”.

Hans had set his heart on studying medicine at university. To attend university under Hitler’s regime, you had to spend time in the military or in the RAD (National Labor Service). Hans worked on the autobahns. As a member of RAD, he could no longer be a member of the Hitler Youth movement.

Hans Scholl has been named one of the most influential young men of Germany. As stories of his resistance have been studied and praised, the mention of his being gay has been hidden. As is so often the case of LGBT contributions, the hero's sexuality was white washed to conform.

We only learn of it from an incident that occurred while he served in the Hitler Youth. The Criminal Code of Germany covered homosexual crimes: included an addendum that was known as Paragraph 176. This made it a criminal offense for any senior officer in the Hitler Youth to use their position to gain sexual favors from those under their command. In 1937 Hans was accused of such an offense and was arrested by the Gestapo.

Hans had admitted his guilt to the charge but the age of “X”, (the other youth in the case), proved to be crucial – “X” was nearly as old as Hans and he admitted in court that he had been a willing participant.

The court believed that Paragraph 176 was not relevant as both of the youths involved were nearly of the same age. Hans was found not guilty – despite the fact that he had admitted the charge. This strange outcome is puzzling to many historians. Hans WAS the physical example of the Aryan stereotype the Nazis glorified.

By the same token, After he met fellow medical student, Alexander Schmorell, the two became inseparable “best friends”. Any mention of their relationship has been thoroughly swept under the rug. The Orthodox Church has even canonized Schmorell. So don't expect much to ever be forthcoming about him.
