Roasted Pepper, Spinach, and Sharp Cheddar Stuffed Chicken Breast

Roasted Pepper, Spinach, and Sharp Cheddar Stuffed Chicken Breast

by Pam on June 17, 2013

I craving chicken for dinner and was inspired by a recipe I found on Skinnytaste.com[1] that looked great. I adapted the recipe to use what I had on hand. I found some roasted red bell pepper, fresh baby spinach, and sharp cheddar in the fridge. I grabbed some Italian panko from the refrigerator along with some olive oil and a lemon. The chicken was easy to make, smelled great while it baked, and was a big hit with all my husband and I and our kids thought it was tasty except for the roasted bell pepper.

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Coat a baking dish with cooking spray. (Side Note:  I used the convection bake setting on my oven but regular will work however you may need to broil the chicken for a few seconds at the end of baking to get a golden color on your breading – watch carefully).

Slice each chicken breast in half lengthwise. Place all four pieces of chicken on a cutting board then cover with wax paper. Pound the chicken with a meat mallet until 1/4 inch thick. Season the pieces of chicken with sea salt, freshly cracked pepper, and garlic powder, to taste. Place some shredded cheese down the center followed by roasted bell pepper, and two spinach leaves on each piece. Carefully roll each piece of chicken as tightly as possible and place seam side down.

Place the breadcrumbs on a plate. Combine the lemon juice, olive oil, sea salt, and freshly cracked pepper, to taste in a small bowl; mix until well combined.

Dip the chicken in the lemon oil mixture followed by the breadcrumbs to coat evenly then place in the baking dish seam side down. Coat each chicken roll with cooking spray.

Place into the oven and bake 25-30 minutes. Let the meat rest for a couple of minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy.

Stuffed Pepper Soup

Bell peppers, chopped tomatoes and lean ground beef are simmered in broth with onions and garlic, then topped with brown rice – everything you love about stuffed peppers, in a soup!

I love soup weather – and the convenience of a making a big pot of soup that can serve as several meals. I first posted this recipe back in 2011 and it’s been a huge hit with everyone, including both of my kids –  they just loved it! I decided to make a pot this weekend and gave this a photo makeover.

This is a hearty bowl of soup that will fill you up and warm you on a chillynight. I guess you can call this a lazy stuffed pepper because it tastes just like a stuffed pepper without all the extra work. Topped with brown rice it’s a satisfying meal. Heck, if you wanted you could even make this with ground turkey, and top it with shredded cheese. Have fun with this one!

Blackened Chicken Salad with Chipotle Ranch Dressing

Blackened Chicken Salad with Chipotle Ranch Dressing

by Pam on June 3, 2014

When we were in Bend, Oregon over Memorial Day weekend, I had a delicious salad at a local brewery that I couldn’t get out of my mind. I finally decided to re-create it at home. I grilled some blackened chicken breasts along with some corn on the cob in my grill pan and tossed it together with mixed greens, romaine lettuce, cheddar cheese, avocado, tomatoes, grilled corn, black beans, green onions, bell pepper, cilantro, crushed tortilla chips, and chipotle ranch dressing. The salad was hearty and so flavorful! We all gobbled it up, although my son opted for plain ranch because he doesn’t care for spicy food. The rest of us had it with the spicy ranch and loved it. My husband had the leftovers today and said it was really tasty. This salad will be on our dinner table again… very soon! [1]

Prepare the Chipotle Ranch Dressing[2] at least 30 minutes prior to serving the salad so flavors have time to mingle. Click link for the recipe.

Heat your grill pan over medium high heat then add the corn on the cob and cook  for about 12-14 minutes, making sure to turn to evenly cook all sides. Remove from the grill and let cool. Once cool, cut the kernels from the ears of corn with a knife; place into a large bowl.

Combine the paprika, salt, onion powder, garlic powder, black pepper, white pepper, thyme, oregano, celery salt, and cayenne together in a dish and mix well.

Sprinkle evenly over both sides of the chicken breasts. Heat a grill pan coated in cooking spray over medium heat. Add the chicken to the HOT grill pan and cook for 7-8 minutes then flip. Continue cooking for 5-6 minutes or until chicken is cooked through and juices run clear. Remove from the pan and let the meat sit for 5 minutes to rest before slicing and serving. Dice chicken into bite sized pieces.

Combine the mixed greens, romaine lettuce, cheddar cheese, avocado, tomatoes, grilled corn, black beans, green onions, bell pepper, cilantro, and crushed tortilla chips to a large bowl. Add the diced chicken and drizzle with chipotle ranch dressing, to taste. Toss to coat evenly and serve. Enjoy.
