Instructions

Caprese Stuffed Chicken

  • Preheat oven to 350. Butterfly the chicken. (Cut a slit/pocket in the chicken, almost all the way through but not quite.) Set aside. Chop half the basil. Thinly slice the cheese; set 4 slices aside. Mix the chopped basil, the remaining cheese, and 1 Tbsp. olive oil in a bowl. Stuff the chicken with the basil/cheese/oil mix. Close the chicken, and secure with toothpicks. Place in a greased baking dish. Season with salt and pepper.
 Slice tomatoes, and place 2 slices on each chicken breast. Drizzle with remaining oil. 
 Bake at 350 for 30 minutes or until chicken is done. Top with reserved mozzarella, and broil 2 minutes. Stack the remaining basil leaves on top of each other. Roll into a tight log, then thinly slice the log into ribbons. Sprinkle the chicken with the basil ribbons. Drizzle with balsamic vinegar.

Spinach Salad

  • Distribute spinach into 4 bowls. Top with onions, cucumbers, and eggs. Drizzle with vinaigrette.

Red Wine Vinaigrette

  • Mix all ingredients in a blender or shaker cup. Blend or shake to combine.

Garlic Toast

  • Toast bread. When toast pops up, and while it’s still hot, butter it, then sprinkle with garlic powder.
