Backing up....This was from the day after the salmon

I forgot to put in a recipe that worked out pretty well and was really simple.  It is one that I got from Pinterest and we enjoyed it, though the kids thought it wasn't their absolute favorite.  I liked it because it was so easy!




This is a really simple recipe and of course I didn't follow it exactly.

1 package of stuffing
1 cup of water
Mix and moisten.

Take 4 pieces of tin foil and lay them out on the counter.  Spray with Pam.  Divide the moistened stuffing between them and kind of squish it down.  Then place a chicken breast over top of each blob of stuffing. 

Here is where the broccoli stems that I didn't use the other night in the roasted broccoli come in.  You cut off the outside tough part and then dice the stems, along with one head to get 4 cups of broccoli.  Divide the 4 cups between the 4 packets.

Cook 4 pieces of bacon till crispy and break one on top of each packet.

Top with 1/4 cup shredded cheese and a drizzle of ranch dressing.  Draw up the sides of the tin foil and tent it leaving just a bit of space for air to circulate before folding the sides in tightly.

Bake at 350 for 45 minutes or until the interior temperature of the chicken is at least 165.

Unwrap - be careful that the steam doesn't burn you - and slide onto a plate to serve. 

These can be made at breakfast time and stuck in the fridge until dinner but be sure your chicken is defrosted before assembling or you will have a soggy mess.

Here is the link for the real recipe from Pinterest.
