last night I got to try something new! butterflying chicken breasts. and I totally did it wrong, I found out later thanks to google. but whatever, it worked.
this recipe smelled wonderful and tasted even better. make sure you make the sauce, because it really brings it home. also, a tip? I cut each slice of cheese into four pieces and rolled the ham around them to make a tube...helped hold the cheese IN the chicken a tad. enjoy!
Pee. Ess. the broccoli? fresh from my friends' garden and FABULOUS.
