GSG Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 My friend and I are planning on making dinner on NYE for our lady friends. Just wondering if you have any ideas. The only restrictions would be no mushrooms and nothing super spicy. Also, I don't think his skills are as advanced as mine, so nothing super difficult. Thanks in advance! Quote Link to comment

Nothing better than a rare steak, baked potato, salad. Something chocolate for dessert would be great! Good luck guys! That is so thoughtful! Quote Link to comment
GSG Posted January 7, 2009 Author Share Posted January 7, 2009 Ok, here's what we made: Stuffed Chicken Valentino 4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese 1 (6 ounce) jar roasted red bell peppers, drained 1/4 cup chopped fresh chives 4 tablespoons shredded mozzarella cheese salt and pepper to taste 2 tablespoons olive oil DIRECTIONS Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Slice a chicken breast in half lengthwise, leaving the halves attached on one side: opened and laid flat, the chicken breast should resemble a butterfly. Place between two sheets of plastic wrap, and pound flat. Repeat with remaining chicken breasts. Combine Parmesan cheese with Italian seasoning and chives, and sprinkle over chicken breasts. At one end of each breast, place 3 strips of roasted pepper. Top with 1 tablespoon shredded cheese. Roll each breast up, starting on the side with the peppers and cheese. Insert a toothpick in each roll to prevent unrolling. Place in prepared baking dish. Season rolls with salt and pepper to taste, and drizzle with olive oil. Bake in preheated oven for 15 minutes. Set oven to broil, and continue cooking for 5 to 10 minutes. Remove from oven, slice to display the colorful filling, and serve. We just served it with linguine and a sun-dried tomato alfredo sauce. I suggest adding in some additional seasonings/veggies. We wanted to do some fresh spinach, but the ladies were having none of that. Also, it took ours way longer than 15 mins to cook before the juices ran clear. It turned out to be a big hit. Link with picture Quote Link to comment
