it must be a special occasion!

it's not everyday you see me cooking, eating, posting about meat.
i rarely eat or cook with meat.
but there was this creeping feeling in my belly that i *needed* some chicken.

i really REALLY love pounding out chicken breasts and rolling them up with all sorts of delicious things. i've done ham & swiss, spinach & sun dried tomatoes, stuffing, the possibilities are endless! ...and that's what i love!
so, i pounded out a chicken breast and then it was time to empty the fridge. what do we have here? i thawed out some chopped spinach and mixed it with some goat cheese. i added diced roasted red peppers and chopped pickled garlic cloves. *drool* there was these amazing layers of flavors going on in the filling. tangy & creamy goat cheese with the sharp pickled garlic. i rolled my little chicken breast up with all that delicious filling. stuffed... if you will! i topped them with a unique spice blend i picked up, basiks key west spice blend. the spice blend is citrus-y and spicy, and all basik spice blends are sugar & preservative free! woot!
i stuck my decadent (*drool*) piece of chicken in the oven at 425* for about half an hour. the top of the chicken started to brown with the spices, it was heated through, and the middle was creamy and rich. de-lish!
i completed my dish with the maple roasted purple sweet potatoes, and kernels off the cob tossed with hot sauce.
holy crap, i'm hungry!

hit me up,
i'm now taking reservations for dinner.
