One of many pleasures / tortures of working within the meals trade is consistently being surrounded by meals. Whether or not on social media, analysis, creating and testing recipes, jobs for shoppers, for my month-to-month characteristic in Tremendous Meals Concepts journal, and even once I’m with family and friends, I dwell and breath (and eat) meals for many of my waking hours.

The truth is, I see a lot meals that it takes one thing critically good to seize my consideration. And when this Solar Dried Tomato, Spinach and Cheese Stuffed Chicken from Yammie’s Noshery got here throughout my radar, I jumped on it right away.

It was simply meant to be. I had every little thing to make it, and I made it that very night time. Nicely, a variation of it. As a result of – you already know. That’s simply what I do. I hardly ever stick with the script. 😉

That is a type of secret weapon recipes that tastes so ridiculously good and but you barely want a recipe for it. The truth is, these images are all you want:

The great thing about this baked stuffed chicken breast recipe is that it’s a base which you can adapt to your individual style utilizing no matter elements you’ve gotten. Assuming that you’ve chicken breast. And cheese. As a result of….effectively, you already know. The tip outcome simply wouldn’t be the identical should you didn’t have each of these……

So I’ve added a bunch of ideas within the recipe notes. Basil, ricotta, feta, different pickled / marinated greens, frozen spinach, olives, to call just a few.

I like making this with solar dried tomato as a result of for a comparatively unattractive trying shrivelled up vegetable, it packs lots of flavour punch which is true up my alley. So I at all times have a jar lurking in my fridge. Only a little bit of solar dried tomato could make something a lot extra fascinating. Suppose – omelettes/frittas, pastas, salads.

The one factor I did otherwise from the unique recipe was swapping out the bottled Italian dressing for a easy do-it-yourself Italian dressing that’s thicker than what I take advantage of for salads. It’s extra like a skinny paste. By making it thicker than ordinary salad dressings, the flavour sticks to the chicken breast higher which eliminates the necessity for marinating time.

Pace and no advance preparation is what this recipe is all about!

I’m fairly specific about how I prepare dinner with chicken breast. It’s so lean, I discover it both needs to be marinated, or pounded skinny so it cooks shortly and stays good and juicy. I truthfully haven’t any reminiscence of my mom cooking with chicken breast once I was rising up. Asian meals is all about “darkish meat” which is fattier and has extra flavour – thigh fillets, wings, drumsticks. (No ft and different questionable elements for me!)

Nevertheless, this technique of cooking chicken breast works rather well to maintain it fantastically juicy. It cooks sooner than an entire chicken breast though it’s stuffed as a result of the stuffing will not be as dense as chicken flesh.

And because it roasts, the juices from the solar dried tomato and cheese bastes the chicken which is already slathered within the Italian dressing, so whenever you take it out of the oven, you can see loads of sauce within the skillet to pour over the chicken whenever you serve it.

I do know I’m speaking this up as a quick midweek meal, however I swear, I might fortunately serve this up for firm too. It’s a type of crowd pleaser meals, don’t you suppose?? – Johnsat x
