I cook with my senses. This talent was passed down from my unmistakably Italian grandmother. Not every recipe is Italian in origin, but every drop of that spirit and love for cooking is. Best of all there are no fancy techniques, and everything is either already in your kitchen or a quick add to your grocery list. Canned soups, veggies, sauces and dressings CAN make a meal easy and delicious. Mangia Tutto! (Eat Up!)

Split Chicken Stuffed with Parmesan Rice
What you need:
5 Split Chicken Breast on the bone (with Skin)
1 2/3 cups white rice (uncooked)
1 can (15 oz) Chicken Broth
3 TBSP Parmesan Cheese
2 TBSP Butter
1/2 tsp Parsley
1/4 tsp Garlic Powder
1/4 tsp Salt
1/8 tsp Black Pepper
1 can (10 oz) Cream of Mushroom Soup
1 tsp Dried Rosemary leaves
How you do it:
Preheat oven to 380*
In a bowl rinse Rice leave rice wet then add
Melted butter, Parmesan, Garlic powder, Pepper, Salt
Parsley and 2/3 cup of Chicken broth
Create pockets under the skin of the chicken breast
Fill pockets with rice mixture and place chicken in a baking pan
With a sharp knife make a small split in the top of the rice pocket
In a bowl mix Cream of Mushroom, Rosemary and the remaining chicken broth
Pour mushroom mix over the chicken.
Cover with tin foil
Bake for 1 1/2 hours, then remove foil and bake another 1/2 hour to brown skin.
Use pan drippings to make gravy
Why it's so good:
The chicken is tender and juicy, the gravy is smooth and velvety. The rice is steamed inside the chicken infusing it with flavor. Serve hot with gravy on a bed of corn. I made this dinner to feed five spending only about $15 dollars at the store buying 3 cans of corn, a can of cream of mushroom, a can of chicken broth, chicken and rice. Cheap, easy, impressive and delicious. Perfect fare for a dinner party.
Enjoy and Mangia Tutto!
