Italian Spinach and Cheese Chicken

2010-05-27T09:54:00.000-07:00

3 cups fresh spinach, thinly sliced
1 1/2 Tb. garlic, chopped (I like to double it)
3 oz. sun-dried tomatoes, drained and chopped
1 c. Italian cheese blend
Salt and pepper, to taste
4 -6 boneless chicken breasts

Combine spinach, garlic, tomatoes, cheese, and salt and pepper in a large bowl and mix well. Butterfly open each chicken breast and stuff with 1 to 2 Tb. mixture. Close the breasts and secure with toothpicks. Arrange chicken breasts in a greased pan and top with remaining spinach mixture. Bake at 425 degrees for 25 - 35 minutes.

(I like to marinate the chicken in Italian Dressing beforehand - it gives it more flavor. I also add extra cheese on top during the last five minutes of baking. Delicious served with pasta!)

1 egg, beaten
1 carton (12 ounces) frozen whipped topping, thawed
2 medium red apples, diced
2 medium green apples, diced
4 cups miniature marshmallows
1 cup honey-roasted peanuts

Drain pineapple, reserving juice; set pineapple aside. In a saucepan, combine the sugar, flour, vinegar and reserved juice until smooth. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Remove from the heat. Stir a small amount of hot mixture into egg; return all to the pan, stirring constantly. Bring to a gentle boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes. Remove from the heat; cool.

Fold in whipped topping. Fold in the apples, marshmallows, and reserved pineapple. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour. Just before serving, fold in the peanuts.

Yield: 16-20 servings

Fried Green Tomatoes

2008-10-11T19:45:00.000-07:00

I've heard of fried green tomatoes before, and I've even heard of people who like them, but it always just seemed wrong to me. Eating green tomatoes??? However, in order to save the tomatoes from freezing in my mom's garden I rescued them and decided to fry up those not-yet-ripe fruit! I found this really easy recipe and tried it out. I liked them! I might even have them again someday! I tried them with and without marinara sauce--they're definitely better with. They're really easy. A little time-consuming, but if you've never tried them, you should. Bon appetit!

Ingredients

3 medium, firm green tomatoes
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup milk
2 beaten eggs
2/3 cup fine dry bread crumbs or cornmeal
1/4 cup olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper

Method

1 Cut unpeeled tomatoes into 1/2 inch slices. Sprinkle slices with salt and pepper. Let tomato slices stand for 15 minutes. Meanwhile, place flour, milk, eggs, and bread crumbs in separate shallow dishes.

2 Heat 2 Tbsp of olive oil in a skillet on medium heat. Dip tomato slices in milk, then flour, then eggs, then bread crumbs. In the skillet, fry half of the coated tomato slices at a time, for 4-6 minutes on each side or until brown. As you cook the rest of the tomatoes, add olive oil as needed. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

This recipe is for the mountain of zucchini my family has grown in their garden! We need to put it in people's unlocked cars at church, doorbell ditch it on unsuspecting neighbors, or we could just try to keep using it! This recipe was shared today on KSL's Studio 5 and it's basically pizza made with a zucchini crust. Other than this recipe, the recipe posted below it, and zucchini bread, I'm out of recipes. If any of you have any other zucchini ideas, please share!!

3 cups shredded zucchini
1 clove garlic, minced
3 large eggs
1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
1 1/2 cups reduced fat biscuit mix
1 can (15 oz) pizza sauce*

Any toppings you would like (sausage, pepperoni, olives, peppers, mushrooms . . . )
1 cup Italian Blend shredded cheese

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9x13 pan with non-stick spray. Mix together shredded zucchini, garlic, eggs, parmesan cheese and biscuit mix. Spread in bottom of prepared 9x13 pan. Drizzle with pizza sauce; gently spread over zucchini base. Top with pizza toppings of choice; top with 1/2 the Italian Blend cheese. Bake 45 minutes to 1 hour or until base is cooked through. Sprinkle with remaining cheese and return to oven until cheese is melted. Allow to set 5-10 minutes before cutting. Serves 8.
