Planning to make Gorgonzola stuffed chicken thighs. There in the meat case at the little local market, the biggest chicken thighs I've ever seen and 99¢ a pound - sold! Skinned and boned, decided to pound them to flatten a bit. Filling 1/2 cup Gorgonzola, heaping tablespoon of breadcrumbs and plenty of fresh ground black pepper. I needed to add a little olive oil to get to a usable consistency. Apply filling, roll, and secure with toothpicks. Roll in olive oil, then breadcrumbs and put on parchment paper seam side down. The recipe called for 30 minutes at 400°, these were so large that it took 50 to reach 165°. Served with penne in an Alfredo sauce with fresh garlic and mushrooms. Brussels sprouts the veg. Good and tender. Next time, I'll use Panko for the coating, and prosciutto under the filling.

Thanks! You like things hot, if you have spicy panko for the coating it would be a home run!

it looks delicious except for the brussel sprouts, and the shots are nice.
i've never tasted a brussel sprout i liked. broccoli is ok though.

Thank you! I like broccoli, but get tired of it. If the sprouts are fresh, they're pretty good. They can be bitter if they get old. These were a nice change.

Everything comes together nicely. The pictures of the process and the end result look fantastic! I always use Panko too! One of these day you are going to have to make enough to share.

Thank you! Making just enough for 2 without waste is the challenge. Back when we were living in another place and entertaining, I made a lot, feeding 8 or 10 for family. Twice a year I made a 37# Lasagna and some other dishes of similar scale for big parties. Haven't used my big Paella pan since we moved. More is easy for me!
The finished product looks really good!
Great set very nice meal I may try it tonight
Thanks Joe

I will have to try that, it looks so good. Too late in the day to defrost chicken breasts so we can't have it today :( but maybe tomorrow.
