So dinner tonight was an adventure. I made Stuffed chicken breasts with a parmesan pasta. Here is what you do:
1) Well I decided the best way to make sure I survived creating this new recipe was to start with a Vodka Tonic. Now that that is taken care of I can get started.
2) Now we work on the filling so gather your ingredients: 4 cups of spinach, ricotta cheese, parmesan, garlic powder, pepper, salt, basil and oregano. Chop the spinach into small pieces and grate the parmesan (super easy with the right Kitchenaid attachment). Mix half the ricotta and most of the spinach (reserve some for the pasta). Mix with your choice of seasoning quantites. It should look like this:
3) Now you pound your chicken out to your choice of thickness (thinner is better). Once that is done you put a small amount in the middle and roll the chicken around it. Then you dip the chicken in egg and panko and saute the chicken in basil oil (mine was a christmas gift made by a friend):
Once you have sauteed around Put the chicken on a broiler pan and cook at 350 degrees for 20 minutes.
4) While that is cooking make your pasta. I used linguini but you can use whatever you want. Once is it cooked to your liking drizzle with more of your basil oil and then add parmesan and the rest of the chopped spinach and mix it up:
5) Once your chicken is cooked serve it on a bed of the pasta:
The Verdict:
Alex liked everything, but I wasn't a fan of the chicken. It should have been pounded thinner. The pasta was AMAZING. I would make it again, will probably make the pasta for lunch tomorrow.
I can't add any pictures for some reason so no cute animal with this post.
