Feta and Craisin Stuffed Chicken (with Rice and Green Beans)
Adapted from a recipe in "Organic Cooking" by Jesse Ziff Cool
4 ounces feta cheese
1/4 cup craisins (dried cranberries)
2 tablespoons crushed Corn Flakes
1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon mixture of oregano, basil, and parsley
6 chicken breasts
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Farenheit.
In a small bowl, combine the cheese, craisins, Corn Flakes, chives, and oregano. This is the stuffing.
In another small bowl, combine the oil and mixture of oregano, basil, and parsley.
Slice the chicken breasts along the side so there is an opening into which you can add the stuffing. Place the chicken in an oven-proof glass dish.
Evenly spoon the stuffing mixture into each piece of chicken.
Brush the outside skin of the chicken with the oil and spices mixture.
Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until chicken is fully cooked.
My Daddy's Rice (No Rice Cooker Needed!)
Bring to boil 4 cups of water in a medium-saucepan.
Add 2 cups of rice.
Cover with a lid and reduce heat to the lowest setting. Cook for 10 minutes.
Turn the heat off (but leave the lid on). Let the pan sit for 10 minutes.
Open the lid and fluff the rice. It will be perfect!
Green Beans with Slivered Almonds
Snap 4-5 cups green beans, and put them in a small bowl.
Add a couple tablespoons of water, and microwave the beans for 1-2 minutes.
Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a pan on the stove. Add the green beans and toss with 1/2 cup slivered almonds. Saute for a couple minutes.
This entire recipe comfortably serves 5 people.
