931.0. "Chicken with Spinach, Ricotta, & Sausage" by BUSY::BSANSEVERO () Mon Jan 18 1988 08:16

            
    
    This weekend, I finally got around to preparing a recipe that
    has been stuck in my wallet for about six months.  It was originally
    created by a hospital administrator who secretly dreams of becoming
    a famous chef.  If this is a sample of his work, he should stop
    dreaming and I will be his first customer.  Ingredients as follows:
    
               <Chicken Stuffed with Spinach,Racotta and Sausage>
    
    Depending upon number to serve, use about 4 - 6 large, thin
    chicken breast fillets, pounded as thin as possible.
    
    Spread with a layer of racotta cheese mixed with romano.  I
    used the deli style.  
    
    Cover cheese with a layer of cooked spinach - blanched or lightly
    fried in oil.
    
    Top spinach with cooked, drained sausage.
    
    Roll chicken breasts up like a jelly roll and place in a greased
    pan.  Bake covered at 350 for about 30 minutes.  For the final 10
    minutes or so of baking, top with a sauce of your choice.  I used
    an Alfredo sauce and it was super.
    
    Serve with pasta of your choice and wait for the compliments to
    roll in.

	RE: "What type of sausage did you use?" I used sweet Italian sausage, however, if you are afraid of dominating the dish, the orginally recipe was a bit bland, my husband and I added the romano cheese to give the stuffing more life. Racotta and spinach alone are not all that favorful. So it can use the extra flavor.
931.4	DELICIOUS!	GENRAL::KILGORE	A + Thinking Area	`Tue Feb 16 1988 23:12`	10
	I made the Chicken dish tonight and it came out delicious! I used turkey sausage and added some parsley to low-fat ricotta cheese. I modified the recipe slightly so it would fit into the Weight Watchers program easier. Please tell the hospital administrator he has a fan in Colorado. Hope he will share more recipes soon and .0 will pass them on. Thanks for the great recipe! Judy
931.5	Another outrageous chicken dish!	USCTR1::JTRAVERS		`Wed Dec 05 1990 14:30`	23
	Here's another outrageous Chicken/Spinach combination - very easy! Grease a 9x13 pan (Pam) Layer in order: Crushed Ritz crackers One pkg raw spinach, washed and torn 1 pkg fresh mushrooms, sliced 1 pkg swiss cheese, sliced or shredded 1 pkg cheddar cheese, sliced or shredded 1 pkg boneless chicken breasts, pounded and cut into smaller pieces (This piles pretty high in the casserole dish, but once the spinach begins to cook it collapses). Pour over the top: 1/4 c melted butter 1/4 c white wine Sprinkle with additional layer crushed crackers Bake 350, about 1 hour uncovered.
931.6	.5 was great!	AKOCOA::SCHOFIELD		`Tue Dec 18 1990 16:37`	9
	I tried .5 Sunday and it was GREAT! I used 2 pkgs of frozen (thawed) chopped spinach and this nifty new cheese I found (Land o' Lakes) combo of cheddar/Mozz. My husband (who dislikes any healthy green veg and mushrooms) actually Loved it! Thanks for posting it! beth
