Stuffed chicken roll


An elegant chicken breast stuffed with Provolone cheese and pecans:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

For 4 servings:

          • Buy 2 halves boneless, skinless chicken. (I bought fresh chicken breast from Hy-Vee grocery store which had been pre-seasoned with tomato, basil and garlic.)
  • Slice each chicken breast half horizontally into thinner halves. I ended up with 4 thin halves of chicken breast.
  • Flatten each thin piece further by placing it loosely inside a piece of Cling Wrap and rolling with a rolling pin.
  • Take each flattened piece of chicken breast out of the Cling Wrap and place on plate.
  • Put 1 piece of Provolone cheese on the chicken breast.
  • Sprinkle a few pecans on top pf the cheese.
  • Roll up the chicken breast with filling.
  • Secure with a toothpick.
  • Place the rolled chicken breasts in a shallow baking dish.
  • Add about 1 cup water and 2 cups fresh celery.
  • Cover with foil and cook in preheated 350 degree Fahrenheit oven 45 minutes or until done.

Review:

4 forks for unusual and enjoyable to make
3 forks for flavor (my diners aren't into unusual-looking cooking. They tended to not eat the filling because they didn't know what it was.)
4 forks for presentation
