The easiest way to switch up a chicken meal is to add stuffing.  It brings a whole new dimension to the meal.  New flavors, tastes and textures how can you go wrong?


For the Chicken

Ingredients for Chichen and Stuffing Ingredients for Chichen and stuffing


1/3 cup light garlic and herb cream cheese


1/4 cup slivered almonds, toasted, coarsely chopped and divided


3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, divided


4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts, washed and dried


1/2 teaspoon salt


1/4 teaspoon pepper


1 1/2 tablespoon butter


In a small bowl, combine the spreadable cream cheese, 3 tablespoons of toasted almonds, and 2 tablespoons of parsley and set aside.


Cut a horizontal slit through the thickest portion of the breast to form a pocket.  Stuff 1 1/2 tablespoons of the cheese mixture into each pocket; secure each pocket with a wooden tooth pick.  Sprinkle the chicken breast with salt and pepper.

This was an amazingly simple meal with an abundance of taste and texture.  I really love the crunch of nuts in the stuffing it really is something different and it is so tasty!    The whole meal takes only 30-40 minutes to prepare depending on your oven and cook time.  I assure you there will be no disappointment here!

Chicken skewers with kaffir lime leaves


Source:http://rhubarbwhine.wordpress.com/2010/12/17/chicken-skewers-with-kaffir-lime-leaves/

1 Put 12 bamboo skewers in a shallow dish, cover with cold water and leave to soak for at least 20 minutes or until needed. Put spring onions, lemongrass, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, oil, fish sauce, turmeric, salt and pepper in a bowl. Add chicken and stir until well combined. Cover and put in the fridge to marinate for 1 hour.

2 Finely chop 1 lime leaf and put in a small heavy-based pan with water, extra fish sauce, sugar, chilli and remaining lemon juice. Stir over a medium heat until sugar is dissolved and mixture comes to the boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook for 3 minutes or until slightly thickened. Transfer to a bowl and leave to cool.

3 Remove skewers from water. Thread chicken and remaining lime leaves alternately onto skewers. Heat a large chargrill pan or large heavy-based pan over a medium heat. Cook skewers, in batches, for 3-4 minutes on each side or until cooked through. Serve with steamed rice, cooled sauce and lemon wedges, if desired.
