Here’s an Easy Recipe for Hasselback Chicken

We’ve told you about hasselback potatoes. We’ve shared the fun of hasselbackapples. Now, we want to round out the meal with the main event entrée: hasselback chicken! Here’s how to make this tasty take on stuffed chicken.

Prep Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 30 minutes

INGREDIENTS
– 1 teaspoon olive oil
– 1­½ cups fresh baby spinach
– ¼ cup ricotta cheese
– 2 – 1-pound chicken breasts
– ⅛ cup white cheddar cheese, grated
– Paprika
– Salt
– Pepper

DIRECTIONS
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius or Gas Mark 6).
In a sauté pan over medium heat, add the oil and cook the spinach in it for 3 to 5 minutes, until it is slightly wilted.
Stir in the ricotta and cook for a further 30 to 60 seconds. Allow to cool.
Cut slits into the chicken breasts, about 1 centimeter (0.39 inches) apart and 75% of the way through the chicken. You don’t have to be too stressed about the depth of the cuts, so long as you don’t cut all the way through it!
Stuff all of the spinach and ricotta mixture into the cuts.
Season the chicken with salt and pepper, to taste. Sprinkle the white cheddar cheese generously on top. Generously sprinkle the paprika, adding color and flavour.
Bake in the center of the oven for 20 to 25 minutes, until the cheese has melted and the juices are clear.

What a delicious way to enjoy stuffed chicken! Do you think you’ll give it a try?

Omelete na caneca no microondas

Western Omelet in a Mug

Just because weekday mornings are rushed doesn't mean you don't have time for an omelet for breakfast. It's the kind of meal that shouldn't be reserved for weekends only. This version of a western omelet is served in a mug and cooks up in less than two minutes.

Just as you'd expect if it were cooked on the stovetop, this omelet boasts light and fluffy eggs studded with diced onion, bell peppers, pieces of ham, and a sprinkling of shredded cheese on top.

The key to a successful mug omelet is the size of the mug and how full it is before cooking. Opt for a mug (or even a paper cup for a serious on-the-go breakfast) that's 12 to 16 ounces large; this is just the right size for a two-egg omelet with fillings. Also be sure the mug is no more than two-thirds of the way full. The eggs will rise as they cook, and no one wants a microwave mess on their hands first thing in the morning.

Western Omelet in a Mug
Serves 1

2 large eggs
1 tablespoon milk
1 tablespoon chopped onion
2 tablespoons chopped bell pepper
2 slices deli ham, chopped
1 tablespoon shredded cheddar cheese
Salt and pepper

Coat the inside of a 12- to 16-ounce microwave-safe mug with cooking spray. Crack the eggs into the mug and use a fork or small whisk to beat until completely combined. Whisk in the milk, onion, pepper, ham, and season with salt and pepper.

Microwave, uncovered, on high for 1 minute. Stir the eggs, top with cheese, if using, and cook for another 30 to 60 seconds on high, until the eggs are completely set. Remove the mug from the microwave and serve immediately.
Recipe Notes
The cook time may also vary slightly from microwave to microwave

Bolo de laranja com coco

Bolo de laranja com coco

Ingredientes
para o bolo

200 g de farinha
200 g de açúcar
100 g de manteiga
50 g de coco ralado
4 Ovos
1 dl de sumo de laranja sem gás de compra
1 colher (chá) de fermento
Margarina para untar
Farinha para polvilhar
Papel vegetal

para a cobertura

150 g de açúcar
100 g de coco ralado
3 dl de sumo de laranja sem gás de compra

Modo de Preparação

Unte uma forma com margarina, forre com papel vegetal, unte novamente com margarina e polvilhe com farinha.

Numa tigela, bata bem a manteiga com o açúcar até ficar um creme fofo e esbranquiçado. Junte depois as gemas, uma a uma e batendo sempre muito bem. Adicione de seguida o sumo de laranja, o coco ralado, o fermento e a farinha, aos poucos e batendo sempre muito bem. À parte, bata as claras em castelo e envolva-as no preparado.

Verta a mistura anterior para a forma e leve ao forno durante cerca de 50 minutos ou até que fique bem cozido, cobrindo com uma folha de papel vegetal se o bolo começar a ficar muito escuro. Espete um palito para verificar, retire do forno, desenforme e deixe arrefecer.

Entretanto, faça a cobertura: deite o açúcar num tacho, junte o sumo de laranja e o coco ralado, leve ao lume e deixe ferver até engrossar. Retire do lume, deixe arrefecer, espalhe por cima do bolo e sirva decorado a gosto.
