Tonight I made my first "real" meal. I found a recipe in the October issue of Everyday Rachael Ray for Double Stuffed Chicken Breast. I always feel like I can't cook and then came to realize...I've never tried. I have made family recipes, made things up....I can also make a mean box of Kraft Macarroni & Cheese, but tonight it's safe to say that I can cook!! This was a terribly messy to make recipe, and I loved every second of it! Stuffing the cheese/noodle mixture under the chicken skin was so much fun! (Be gentle and after stuffing fold skin over and wrap tight)
Things that I changed were that instead of using breasts I used thighs...but only because we got 12 chicken thighs for $5.00 on sale tonight. Instead of baking for 50 minutes, I did for 60 minutes...(I'm a spaz about eating undercooked food...sick!) We used organic cheeses and marinara sauce from Trader Joes. I also didn't put parsley on top at the end, I felt there was enough inside.
Feeling very proud right now!
Tune in next week to see what's cookin' in Chelsea's kitchen!
PS. Matt LOVED it and has enough for 2 days leftover lunches : )
