My First Foray into Stuffing and Wrapping
I got ambitious today and made the menu plan through next Thursday. Among my picks this week was a recipe I found on Kayotic Kitchen via Taste Spotting, “Fancy Schmancy Chicken.” Mine didn’t end up looking half as nice, but it sure was tasty! B even gave it his seal of approval, saying, “As a general rule, I don’t enjoy things wrapped in bacon,” yes, I knew this — but I do enjoy bacon-wrapped things occasionally, “but this is really good.”
So there you have it, a self-proclaimed bacon-hater liked this recipe.
Recipe after the jump
“Fancy Schmancy Chicken” (adapted from Kayotic Kitchen)
Ingredients:
· 3 chicken breasts
· 3 tbsp honey
· 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
· 3 tbsp ricotta
· lemon juice
· lemon zest
· 9 to 12 bacon slices
· flat-leaf parsley
· pepper & salt
Directions:
- 1. Grab 3 slightly heaping tbsp ricotta, roughly 1 tbsp per chicken breast
- 2. Grate a pinch of lemon zest into the ricotta.
- 3. Add a generous amount of freshly cracked black pepper and salt.
- 4. Finely mince a small handful of parsley and mix.
- 5. Combine the honey, & Dijon mustard and squeeze in some fresh lemon juice, about a tbsp or so.
- 6. Use a very sharp knife and cut a slit into the thick edge of each breast to form a pocket.
- 7. Spoon a tbsp of the ricotta mix in there, close it up and season the breasts with a little salt and pepper.
- 8. Depending on how thick your bacon slices are, wrap strips around each chicken breast making sure to fully cover the ricotta so it won’t drip out, the bacon will form a protective shield. (I ended up using a whole package on 3 breasts.)
- 9. Brush the chicken on both sides with the honey-mustard marinade.
- 10. Slap them on the grill for 10 minutes on each side.
Welcome!
