Baked Chicken with Provolone and Ziti

Ingredients:

2 Boneless chicken breasts
1/2 teaspoon Basil
1/2 teaspoon Dill
1/2 teaspoon Garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon Parsley
3 cups Prego sauce or your own
2 large Slices provolone cheese
Ziti, make the amount you think you will eat!


Directions:
Put the chicken breasts in a baking pan, sprayed with a non-stick spray. Sprinkle herbs on top of chicken breasts. Bake uncovered at 350F for 1 hour.

Meanwhile, heat the sauce and cook the ziti separately (cook ziti according to directions on the box). Once the ziti is cooked and drained, return to the saucepan and put a pat of margarine or butter in it. Mix well, and pour into another 1 1/2 qt sprayed baking dish. When the chicken is finished baking, put it on top of the ziti, and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Pour the sauce on top of all and place the cheese on top of the chicken. Put under the broiler until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Spinach And Ricotta-Stuffed Chicken Breasts With Lemony White Wine Sauce

Ingredients:
***Stuffing***
1 cup cooked, chopped, and drained fresh spinach
1/2 cup ricotta
1/2 cup Gorgonzola
4 slices cooked bacon, crumbled
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 large egg
***Sauce***
1/2 cup dry white wine
1/2 cup homemade chicken stock
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 lemon, juiced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Chopped parsley leaves, for garnish
***Chicken***
2 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves (8-ounce size)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons vegetable oil


Directions:
Make the Stuffing: In a bowl, combine the spinach, ricotta, Gorgonzola, and bacon and mix well. Season with salt and pepper. Add the egg, mix well, and set aside.

Make the Sauce: Combine the wine and stock in a non-reactive saucepan. Bring to a boil and reduce to a sauce-like consistency. Whisk in the mustard, lemon juice, and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Set aside.

Make the Chicken: Place each chicken breast between 2 doubled-up sheets of plastic wrap, and pound to an even 1/4-inch thickness with a meat-pounder or rolling pin. Divide the stuffing between the breasts, mounding it along the center of each. Fold the bottom edge of each breast over the stuffing, fold in the sides, and roll forward until completely wrapped, to form a tight rolled package. Secure each flap with a toothpick. Season the chicken all over with salt and pepper, to taste.

Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook, turning occasionally, until browned, about 2 minutes per side. Cover the skillet, turn the heat down to low, and cook until just cooked through, about 5 minutes more.

Transfer the chicken to a cutting board and let rest for 5 minutes.

Meanwhile, pour the sauce into the skillet over high heat and cook, stirring and scraping the bottom with a wooden spoon.

Slice the chicken into medallions, divide among plates, and spoon some of the sauce over each. Garnish with parsley and serve immediately.
