all on my own

In January one of the first meals I made all on my own was an awesome spinach and cheese stuffed chicken. This week I was thinking of making it again but I was already out and couldn't completely remember what ingredients it needed, but I thought it was ricotta and cottage cheese, well I was wrong. So needless to say I got home and had the wrong ingredients but still wanted something stuffed chicken.

So for the very first time, I made dinner without a recipe. It was a scary experience to say the least. I still had the recipe up for reference, but since the ingredients I had were so different, I had no idea how much to use. 

I started by slicing up the spinach smaller since I remembered that last time the pieces were too big, I also included mushrooms because they sounded delicious. I put those on the pan so start cooking and got to pounding out the chicken

Once that was done I put a couple tablespoons of ricotta cheese and cottage cheese in a medium bowl. I added the cooked spinach and mushrooms in and started stirring. I glanced at the recipe from last time and saw that it called for fresh garlic so I added some garlic powder and prayed that it would taste good. Then the fun began!

I took the chicken and added a large spoonful of the mixture in the middle and started the "rolling" process, which I pretty much failed at. You would think a girl from Texas who has mastered the fajita roll could handle the chicken roll, still not quite there!

Once that was all done I dipped the chicken rolls into an egg and water mixture and bread crumbs!

Around this time mister got home and looked at me like I was crazy because there was not enough counter space so my laptop was on the floor right outside the kitchen

After 35 minutes at 375 the chicken rolls were perfect!! Served up with some steamed veggies and it was a perfect Monday night meal!
