Veggie Stuffed Chicken #Recipe @PegCochran


This recipe is really simple and actually isn't a recipe in that virtually none of it is hard and fast!  If you don't like something--leave it out.  If you'd prefer something else--put it in!  For example, I had a green pepper languishing in the fridge but you might prefer to use a red or yellow pepper.  Or no pepper at all! The quantities aren't exactly precise either--I was cooking for two and you may be cooking for ten!

Ingredients:
Chicken breasts -- quantity is up to you
olive oil
1 tomato
1/2 zucchini
1/2 green pepper
1 small red onion
Italian seasoning
shredded mozzarella

Chicken breasts are so LARGE these days that I took one whole breast and cut it into two pieces, which was more than enough for me and my husband.  You may want more or less per person.  Make approximately four or five cuts across the chicken breast being careful not to cut all the way through.



Cut the zucchini in half length-wise then slice into thin "half moons."  Slice tomato and then cut slices in half.  Cut the green pepper into strips.  Slice the onion and then cut the slices in half.



Drizzle olive oil over the chicken breasts and in between the slits.  Sprinkle with Italian seasoning if desired and salt and pepper to taste.  Stuff each slit with the veggies--as many as you want or can fit in each slit.




Sprinkle with shredded mozzarella cheese.  Bake at 400 degrees for 30 minutes or until chicken is done.

A Park Avenue princess discovers the dark side of 1930s New York when a debutante ball turns deadly in this gripping historical mystery for readers of Victoria Thompson, Anne Perry, and Rhys Bowen.

Manhattan, 1938. Tired of being trapped in the gilded cage of her family’s expectations, Elizabeth Adams has done what no self-respecting socialite would think to do: She’s gotten herself a job. Although Elizabeth’s dream is to one day see her photographs on the front page of the Daily Trumpet, for now she’s working her way up as the newsroom’s gal Friday.

But fetching coffee isn’t exactly her idea of fun, so when veteran reporter Ralph Kaminsky needs a photographer to fill in for a last-minute assignment, Elizabeth jumps at the chance. At the Waldorf Hotel, Elizabeth is tasked with tracking down the season’s “It girl,” Gloria DeWitt, who will be making her society debut. Working her own connections to New York’s upper crust, Elizabeth manages to land an exclusive interview with Gloria.

Then Gloria’s stepmother is shot dead in a Waldorf bathroom, placing Elizabeth at the scene of a headline-worthy scandal: “Murder of a Society Dame.” Now Elizabeth will have to get the scoop on the killer before her good name gets dragged through the gossip columns—or worse. . . .
