One woman's blatherings about this and that, with an occasional recipe or *gasp* a poem or two. This blog hopes to, "Either move or be moved."
And, so, let's move on...
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!!!!
