Prosciutto & Spinach Stuffed Chicken

Clearly I am on a pursuit to post all the different things you can do with chicken! Come to think of it, that's not a very bad idea... I got this recipe from Cook This NOT That. I made these for my parental units tonight. They said it was even better than the stuffed chicken they order at local Italian restaurants. Hehehehe... Although, I wish I could take credit for designing this deliciousness. If you're eyeballing my salad and pasta back there I will include those in the recipe. Click "read more" for the full thang.

Citrus and Strawberry Salad With Nutty Wild Rice and Grilled Chicken

Let's talk for a moment about salads... I am a very big fan of salads; I have one every single day. Sometimes when I make them I add everything but the kitchen sink. They turn out pretty damn good if I do say so myself. One thing I'd like to add is that the "right" salad does not need heavy salad dressing, croutons, or tons of cheese. Many people think, "Hey I'm eating a salad... That's healthy right?" Wrong. One can easily ruin, not only the caloric content of a salad by saturating it with ranch or Caesar dressing and piling on croutons but also, the flavor altogether. This recipe is important to me because it's light and summery, while still full of texture and flavor. If you wanna go all out, you can make the citrus salad dressing too (and I'll throw in some info on how to make your own dressings at home). Click "read more" for the full recipe.
