I started this blog so my daughters could find all of our family favourite recipes in one place. It has actually grown into more than just the family favourites but also other recipes we've tried out in our kitchen. I don't like to fill up the post with alot of chatter. Sometimes there's a little story to tell, but usually I like to get right to the point. So this is for them, but hope you find some recipes that you like as well. I'll be sharing a lot of recipes, and along the way you'll find some crafty things and maybe some helpful hints too! Welcome!

Pesto Stuffed Chicken Breast

A bit of a messy job, but well worth the effort.

 6 boneless chicken breasts
2 or 3 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup cooked rice
1/2 cup cooked broccoli, finely chopped
1 tsp pesto or salted herbs
1/4 cup ricotta
1/2 cup shredded old cheddar cheese
1 tsp smoky paprika
1 tsp lemon pepper
olive oil
wooden skewers

 Cut a pocket in each chicken breast, but don't cut right through, and set aside.
Mix the remaining ingredients together and divide into six.
Stuff each breast with filling.
Stand and press to flatten bottom.
Soak skewers in water for a few minutes, break off extra length that you won't need, then weave it through opened edge of pocket to keep together.
Brush all with olive oil then mix together 1 tsp smoky paprika with 1 tsp lemon pepper. Sprinkle over top
Place on parchment lined baking sheet and bake in a 350 F oven for 30-40 minutes.
