Gloom and solemnity are entirely out of place in even the most rigorous study of an art originally intended to make glad the heart of man. --- Ezra Pound

Super easy stuffed chicken (rolls?)



Super Easy Stuffed Chicken (Rolls)

Take a boneless chicken breast and place it between wax paper (or even a plastic Walmart-type bag will work). Now, get something heavy like what I use: a cast iron skillet and pound the heck out of the chicken breast until it's more or less flat. This is when you can let out some aggression: I pictured both my ex AND my supervisor while pounding that breast, "Take that, sucker!" 

Then place whatever seasonings and fillings you want. Last week I used Brie & prosciutto, but last night I used provolone and olives. Tonight it will be Feta and olives! Put a little dab of butter then roll it up. Secure with toothpicks, string, or skewers. Avoid colored toothpicks or colored string because the color will rub off on chicken. I know from experience! It was blue toothpicks :( that made my chicken look a little otherworldly...

Then place the rolled up, stuffed breast in a glass or ceramic dish and bake for about 30 minutes til done. I use an oven setting anywhere from 375 - 400. And, I also like to place a few pieces of onion in the dish surrounding the chicken breast. Splash a little olive oil on the chicken breast, add a few additional seasonings (if wanted) and bake 'til done. It's delicious and easy! When it's done, take it out and let it sit for just a couple of minutes before taking out/off whatever is holding it (string/toothpicks, etc) and slice with sharp knife. ENJOY!!!!
