Stuffed Chicken Breast
Last night I cooked up some chicken for the first time in a very long time. I’m not that big on chicken but after last night I might have to reconsider that statement!
Ever since “Food, Incorporated” I am very peculiar about eating organic meat. I was before even, but mostly because it tasted odd or bad even. Last night I had to swallow my pride and cook Tyson’s chicken breasts; 1. which in the past has tasted bad to me 2. Tyson’s is portrayed to be one of the worst food companies out there by the film. But we just got out of a recession (yes, I am making an excuse!)
Back to cooking.
Here’s what I used:
- 3 chicken breasts
- 1 lemon
- sage
- rosemary
Start off with cutting off any white parts of the meat and then cut a slit on the side of the breast. Kind of like cutting a ciabatta. Start stuffing the breasts with the sage leaves, try to lay them flat in the cavity and then put slices of lemon on top of the sage. Close the breast up as well as you can and squeeze the rest of the lemon over the meat. Sprinkle rosemary until pretty much covered each breast and then put in oven at 350F for about 45 minutes. It can be tricky turning the chicken when it’s stuffed like this but it shouldn’t be any problem unless you’re like me and accidentally cut straight through the chicken breast and end up with a two pieced breast. Oops!
