Stuffed Italian Chicken

[rishamoon]

Ok, I experimented last night, and it turned out rather good. I took boneless/skinless chicken breasts and pounded them out flat (I put mine in a zip lock one at a time and beat them severely.... good thing the chicken can't call CODA. This is a great frustration reliever too... LOL) Then I laid them out one at a time and sprinkled some garlic and italian seasonings on them, then some tomato sauce (lowest carb count I could find) and some mozerella cheese. Then I put about 5 or 6 pieces of pepperoni down and some mushroom slices (I suppose you could varry this to whatever you like) and starting at one end roll them tightly sort of pushing the stuffing items inside. I laid them in a glass baking dish (seam down) and sprinkled some more seasoning on them and drizzled a little olive oil across them, baked them at 375 for maybe 25 minutes then added some grated parmesean and some more tomato sauce and put them back in for about another 10-15 minutes (sorry I rarely cook by time, LOL). They were really good, the only thing I would do different is to use a little more cheese, maybe put some mozerella on top and let it melt some...

My daughter calls it "Pizza Chicken", quite the little 3 year old she is...

I'm having the left over one for lunch right now and thinking I should make some more in a big batch and freeze them, would be an excellent quick lunch to have on hand.

Wow these sound really really good!!! Thanks! :)

[rishamoon]

I see all the peekers, did I get any takers? LOL...

I'm gonna make some more next week and experiment with them some more... thinking maybe some riccotta cheese (god help me, I've never tried cooking with that... LOL) inside???

Ahhhh... I'm going to plan a menu for the week and go shopping tomorrow. I want to be extra good cause I am going to have to do some cheating while I am out of town... LOL

[MaryToU]

It sound very interesting, think I will try it with the riccotta cheese inside. :wave:

[nicksmom]

Does the ricotta cheese melt down? I hate the clumpy texture of ricotta . Sad, I know! LOL

[rishamoon]

I don't know... I haven't experiemented with it yet... LOL... I just know it is used in lasagna, and I was thinking italian... LOL... anyone else???

I made this for my husband and I, it was so great, I have told my friends. Thanks Lacey O

[chadpenn]

What else could you put in it? I mean, I think pepperoni is high in carbs is it not? I love mushrooms... Could you use bell peppers you think? Suggestions appreciated... I am going to try this one!!!! Thanks for telling us about it! :hyper:

[Lacey O]

Pepperoni is not really high in carbs as long as you don't over doit just like with the tomato sauce. It is so good. My husband even loves it. I can not tell you how much we loved it, we used bell peppers in it also. So, try what u want .

[chadpenn]

so you used cheese, chicken, tomato sauce, pepperoni, bell peppers and .... anything else?

[Lacey O]

Hey did u get the receipe, just print it out. No, thats all we used. I only had about 3 tbsp of tomato sauce on mine cause of the carbs in it. Did you list me as a referal. ??? I printed out a lot of receipes the other night, Robby is even eating some of them with me. LaceyO

[chadpenn]

where can i get the recipe ... and how can i go back and list you as a referral....?

[relliott1]

I buy Hormel pepperoni at Costco, and according to the package 1 serving is 14 pieces and contains 0 carbs. I count it as 1 carb, since I am sure there is some carb content in it.

The recipe sounds great, will give it a shot :)

where can i get the recipe for this?

[Lacey O]

The receipe section on the main page,under main dishes. i tried the mock danish this morning.

[chadpenn]

I will do that now!

[chadpenn]

All I can say is YYYYUUUUUUUMMMMMMMM!! Whoever came up with this is a genius. My taste buds went wild! I was so very very pleased! Thank you Thank you for recommending it !!!!!!!! :yay:

[rishamoon]

I'm glad you liked it! I'm planning on having it again tomorrow night and my taste buds are excited. LOL. I'd have it tonight if I had thawed the chicken out.

I'd love to hear what other things people have tried with this. Did anyone try the ricotta cheese yet? I'm thinking I may do that tomorrow.

I think a nice Spinach, cucumber and red pepper salad with some olive oil and red wine vinegar dressing will go really well with this.

[chadpenn]

Believe it or not, I am having this again for supper tonight! My husband even enjoyed it and he isn't l/c ing. I don't think that I can get tired of this!

[tink79]

Wow!! This sounds so yummy!! I'm going to have to try it!

[chadpenn]

Today is grocery store day and my house was pretty limited as far as food went! Last night I didn't have anything but some chicken tenders... no full breasts. So, I laid out all of the tenders in the bottom of a glass dish... I had some of the lowest carb pizza sauce that i could find and used this instead of the tomato sauce. Everything else I just piled on top... pepperoni, bell peppers, mushrooms, moz. cheese, garlic powder, parm. cheese,.... It was just like a chicken pizza. I only ate one of the tenders...with one helping of the topping, though. I wasn't very hungry. It was SO good. My family went nuts.
