The one where I make stuffed chicken...

Another recipe! This time, stuffed chicken. No picture of the recipe for this one, it was pretty simple in the book: Slice a chicken breast lengthwise, stuff with mozzarella cheese, top with spaghetti sauce, bake for an hour.



I had some leftover onion and pepper from the meatloaf, and since I love pepper and onion, I thought I'd added it to the mix. The garlic fries are from Trader Joe's, and they're in the picture because I used the garlic sauce packet on the chicken.



I sliced the cheese into long pieces, as well as the pepper and onion into a coarse chop. I lightly salted the inside of the chicken after cutting, and dropped in a little pepper and onion before topping with the cheese.

The chicken was stubborn and didn't want to hold all of the stuffing after folding the top half back over, but a little more slicing fixed that.


The liquid on top is a little bit of the garlic sauce packet from the garlic fries. I put the rest of the pepper and onion on top.


Followed by some tomato basil spaghetti sauce.

The recipe said to bake it for an hour, but that was also for four to six piece, and this chicken was a bit small. I set the timer for 35 minutes, with the option of always leaving it in. I hate dry chicken, so I usually cook it until it's just done.


Looks awesome, let's dig in!

The recipe also called for a bed of spaghetti for the chicken to sit on, so I used some capellini (big fan of thin spaghetti). Here's the final product:


Looks awesome, let's dig in!

Conclusion:
Difficulty: 2 out of 5 (Slicing the chicken is tricky, but the rest is simple)
Taste: 4 out of 5 (That damn garlic packet was REALLY strong, and i only used a teaspoon.)

I just went out and bought more chicken to do it again. It's SO good, i'm totally making it again.
