Elegant Cranberry-Gorgonzola Stuffed Chicken

Need I say more?:
(makes 6 servings)

6 boneless skinless chicken breasts
4 oz. crumbled Gorgonzola (or you can use goat cheese*)
1/2 cup dried cranberries
2/3 cup chopped walnuts
1/3 cup packed fresh parsley sprigs
2/3 cup Panko* bread crumbs
1/2 t. sea* salt
1/2 t. freshly ground pepper
2 eggs, lightly beaten with a fork*
1 T. Dijon mustard
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
Saran plastic wrap

Place chicken between two sheets of plastic wrap, and flatten to 1/4" thickness. In a small bowl, combine cheese and cranberries. Spoon 1/4 cup of cheese mixture down the center of each chicken breast. Roll up and secure with a toothpick. Place walnuts and parsley in a food processor, cover, and process til ground. Transfer to a shallow dish; stir in panko, S&P. In another shallow dish, combine eggs and mustard. Coat chicken with flour, dip in egg mixture, and coat with walnut mixture. Place seam side down on a greased 15"x10"x1" baking dish. Bake at 350 35-40 mins. I would serve roasted rosemary, Johnny's Garlic Spread, and EVOO new potatoes, and buttered petite green peas. Bon Appetit!!

This if from the Pacific NW section of the Seattle Times. It refers to war, but is also applicable to all of us:
"The dividing by a hungry soldier with a hungrier comrade the last morsel of meat or the remnant of a cracker, the binding up of each other's wounds, the lending of courage from one heart to another. These are what create the strongest bonds between human beings".

Have FUN today, I KNOW I will!!

Love,

MM
