I hope this works out okay. My hubby hates chicken breast, so I sliced his crosswise, stuffed in some swiss cheese and spinach and wrapped the breast with two slices of bacon. Mine - just garlic and pat of butter. In the oven they go!
I'm serving a tomato and cucumber salad with a parmesan dressing, tumeric Jasmati rice and some croissants. I sure hope he likes it!!
Gem, it sounds delicious and the cheese and spinach and bacon...should keep it nice and moist! Sounds delicious.
He wet tuna fishing this weekend to no avail BUT brought home to us 4 lobsters from his traps. So good but now I feel sick.....too much butter. He even cooked them for us.
I am roasting a nice little 5 lb organic chicken....with celery, ginger root and onion in the cavity for flavor and oil and ginger powder and celery salt and pepper rubbed into the skin....of course we will have rice....and I think some yellow squash.
We had roasted chicken too - though it was really way too hot for it - with gravy, rice pilaf w/ almonds and diced veggies, and spinach.
Tomorrow is leftover chicken and rice in some form, with broccoli on the side.
I've been craving cooler, lighter fare, and stumbled upon a recipe on the back of the Progresso Italian bread crumbs box that I want to try. Seems you melt a little butter and roll thin chicken strips (about 1" width) in the bread crumbs, and bake them until tender and done, and use them on a salad. Nice switch from just grilled chicken strips.
RDS, I do my chicken boneless breasts or strips in a similar way, except I use low-fat mayonnaise mixed with a little mustard (any kind).
I rub each chicken piece with a tsp. or so of the mayo/mustard blend, then roll them in bread crumbs, corn meal, crushed chips or crackers, or crushed stuffing mix - whatever I have on hand at the time. Cheerios? No!
Put them on a cookie sheet, no additional butter or pan greasing required and bake for just about 18 mins. for breast halves, 14 mins. or little less for the strips at 375°. Delicious.
Serve with some barbeque sauce, blue cheese or ranch dressing and eat up! Probably only saves about 15 calories, but the flavor is wonderful.
Sooooo.....my grown daughter finds a baby Mockingbird last night and of course has to rescue it! She has my genes obviously! Guess now I must care for it until it can fly as she is flying back to CA tomorrow--oh joy! I have done this before, years ago, and it is a full time job. I sure hope the little guy learns to fly soon. Trouble is, with all my cats he has to be able to fly for sure before I can turn him loose. Plus we have a big day today visiting with my hubbies son out of town---guess the Mockingbird will just have to go with us as he has to eat about every 2 hours. Today should prove to be interesting. Tonight we are going out to dinner for our family get-together!

Careful, if you haven't already found out the hard way, the bird is probably full of mites that will get into your house.
Tonight it's steaks on the grill and two new recipes from Paula Deen's magazine; Spinach with mushrooms, and Lemon pineapple salad.
