Fast, Easy and Delicious

as you can tell I love to bake everything. I try not to fry if I can avoid it. this recipe is one that my mother has made for years! several years ago my mother worked cooking one day a week for the Noel Senior Citizens. she would make them a meal that they would talk about for the rest of the week. she always made a salad, a main dish a bread and then desert. My mother’s family gave me my love for cooking and for food! I have my mother who puts so much love into ever dish she makes and then her brother my uncle Artie who is a great teacher. I will always remember the first dish he taught me to make…I will post that later. he is the singing chef and the reason my nephew wants to be a singing chef when he grows up. Food is our life and one reason why I do what I do with my Blog. I hope you enjoy my recipes as much as I do!

this was a popular item, they would request she make this for them at least once a month.

what you will need…

Deep dish baking sheet

2lbs boneless skinless chicken breast

1 box stuffing mix

Parmesan cheese

Italian Bread crumbs

olive oil mayo ( my mother would just use mayo)

non stick cooking spray or parchment paper

line pan with parchment paper…preheat oven to 425 degrees.

with a meat tenderizer pound chicken until it is thin enough that you can place a spoon of the bread crumbs inside. roll up the chicken then  brush with the mayo. combine bread crumbs and Parmesan cheese enough that would cover all of the chicken. once combined roll chicken in the mixture and place a tooth pick (soak in water until time to use) insert tooth pick in chicken to keep it closed place on baking sheet. repeat process until all chicken is on the pan. place in the oven and bake until chicken is done. the bread crumbs will turn a pretty golden brown and the mayo will keep the chicken from drying out.

this is great served with any side dish. we always have it with a great salad and a small baked potato or mashed potato. and do not forget the gravy!

Hunts makes a great jar gravy that is great to use if you just want to be finished with dinner. if you feel like making your own gravy you can use 1 to 2 cups of chicken broth. depending on how much gravy you would like to have. in a sauce pan combine 2 pats of butter and flour. stir until combined this will be very thick. then slowly whisk in the chicken broth. whisk until it starts to thicken and all the lumps are gone. when gravy coats the whisk and does not run off then it is ready to turn off. it will thicken a little more as it cools.

Please let me know if you are looking for a recipe or something to make. I am sure we have it on hand!

again, enjoy your dinner and look for my next recipe soon.
