| “Every country possesses, it seems, the sort of cuisine it deserves, which is to say the sort of cuisine it is appreciative enough to want. I used to think that the notoriously bad cooking of the English was an example to the contrary, and that the English cook the way they do because, through sheer technical deficiency, they had not been able to master the art of cooking. I have discovered to my stupefaction that the English cook that way because that is the way they like it." | | ~ Waverly Root (1903-1982) |

Spinach-Stuffed Chicken Breasts Recipe
Recipe Ingredients:
3/4 cup frozen choppen spinach, thawed, drained
1/4 cup low-fat ricotta cheese - (2 oz)
1/2 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese, (2 oz)
2 tsp chopped fresh tarragon
= (or 1/4 tspn dried tarragon)
1/4 tsp salt
1/8 tsp freshly-ground black pepper
4 chicken breast halves - (1 3/4 lbs)
2 tsp olive oil
Recipe Instructions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Prepare a shallow baking pan with nonstick pan spray.
Combine the spinach, cheeses, and seasonings in a small bowl. Lift up the skin from each chicken breast half and stuff the spinach mixture between the skin and chicken meat. (Be careful no to tear the skin). Smooth the skin over the stuffing, tucking it underneath to form a neat package.
Brush the stuffed breasts with olive oil and place them bone-side down in a baking pan. Bake, uncovered, for 45 minutes, until the chicken is cooked and brown.
This recipe yields 4 servings. Serving size: 1/2 breast plus stuffing (with skin).
Exchanges Per Serving: 2 Vegetable, 4 Lean Meat.

Comments: An herbed spinach and cheese mixture is stuffed under the skin of plump chicken breasts, creating a dish that's perfect for a dinner party or a special romantic dinner. The skin is needed to encase the stuffing in the chicken breasts, but you may wish to remove it before eating to help reduce calories and fat grams.

| "When treasures are recipes they are less clearly, less distinctly remembered than when they are tangible objects. They evoke however quite as vivid a feeling-that is, to some of use who, considering cooking an art, feel that a way of cooking can produce something that approaches an aesthetic emotion. What more can one say? If one had the choice of again hearing Pachmann play the two Chopin sonatas or dining once more at the Cafe Anglais, which would one choose?" | | ~ Alice B. Toklas |
