2869.0. "potatoes, carrots and onion medley" by ASABET::C_AQUILIA () Thu Jan 24 1991 10:04

my SO made dinner last night. reheated chicken breasted stuffed with brazil
nut stuffing in the skin and made a fresh vegie dish to go with it.  it was
absolutely wonderful.  i just had to post it.  he did not give me specifics
but i'm sure you can figure this out.

potatoes and carrot melody:
--------------------------


a couple of potatoes thinly sliced
a couple of carrots thinly sliced
some onion thinly sliced
1/4 cup butter or margerine
2 cloves garlic minced
grated parm/romano cheese

in greased casserole pan place the sliced potatoes with an onion slice
in between upright.  place the sliced carrots on the top and fill in
any spots that the potato and onions missed.  pour some grated cheese 
over this.  melt the butter with the garlic and pour this over the 
vegies.  this will make the grated cheese fall in between the vegies.
put alittle more grated cheese on top and cover.  microwave for 5 minutes
on high.  turn dish and shake a bit.  microwave for another 5 minutes
on high.  let sit for a minute or so before opening the top.  be care-
ful.  there will be alot of steam under the cover.

i can only imagine what this dish will taste like after the flavors 
blend together for a day.  i can't wait to try it again!

enjoy!

2869.2whole chicken breasts w/brazil nut stuffingASABET::C_AQUILIAThu Jan 24 1991 12:1141
    the chicken breast is very easy.  i used a basic stuffing recipe
    consisting of:
    
    2 celery stalkes, finely chopped
    1 medium onion, finely chopped
    5 slices of day old bread processed into fine crumbs w/o crusts
    2 tablespoons of butter
    1/3 cup chicken broth
    1/3 cup chopped brazil nuts
    poultry seasoning to taste
    sage to taste
    
    sautee the celery and onion in butter till semi-soft.  add seasonings
    to this mixture and mix well.  add bread crumbs, and nuts to mixture and 
    toss to coat.  add enough broth so your stuffing is sticking together.  
    don't use too much or it will be like mush.  
    
    take whole chicken breasts that have been washed well and patted dry
    and open up the skin by the top of the breast just a bit.  spoon by the
    tablespoon the stuffing mixture inside the skin.  flatten GENTLY.   do
    one tablespoon at a time for each side of the breast so the stuffing
    remains equal on both sides.  i find that you have two to three
    tablespoons of stuffing in each side.  do not over stuff or it will
    come out during cooking.  place on greased roasting rack and sprinkle
    bottom of breast with onion powder and white pepper.  put in oven
    preheated at 425 for 20 minutes.  turn the heat to 350 and continue
    cooking for 25 more minutes.  you might want to baste with a tiny bit
    of butter the last 15 minutes of cooking but be careful as the skin is
    delicate and the stuffing is underneath.
    
    when done take chicken breasts off of rack.   deglaze the pan that has
    dripping with some chicken broth and flour to make a gravy.  (the onion
    powder and white pepper give it a great taste!) cut the breasts in half
    for two servings.  served with green beans and salad the first night.
    leftovers the next night with the previous recipe.  
    
    enjoy!
