Sundried Tomato, Spinach, and Cheese Stuffed Chicken

The other day I suddenly got into the mood to post something for you guys. I had no idea what it would be until I opened the fridge I spotted a jar of sun dried tomatoes. Then I knew.

Less than an hour later, we were feasting upon this glorious stuffed chicken.

When my brother got home from school later that day, I was sitting in the living room editing these photos when suddenly I heard from the kitchen...

"Who did this?!"

A pause.

"Who has done this wonderful thing?!"

Another pause. Then, mouth full, "Who made this chicken?!?!?!"

I smiled to myself knowing that I had struck success.

This chicken was seriously easy to make. It only needs a few ingredients, the star of which is the sundried tomatoes. Usually I'm too cheap to buy sundried tomatoes, but the other day at the grocery store I saw this big pack of "freeze-dried sundried tomatoes". They were just vacuum packed without any oil or anything which didn't look too awesome, but they were only about $2 so I decided to get them anyway.

As I had anticipated, they weren't really so good right out of the package, but I chopped them up, put in the in a jar with herbs, olive oil, and garlic, and let them soak for a while. After that they were awesome, so I went back to the grocery store and got about five more packs and jarred them up.

Long story short, brace yourselves for a ridiculous amount of sundried tomato recipes. I can't be stopped.

I just don't want to waste my time there being jet lagged, so I've been slowly inducing jet lag over the last couple of days. Nobody seems to believe me that I can do it, but, well... I can. Doubters, prepare to be amazed when I land in Berlin bright eyed and bushy tailed and ready to rumble.

Sundried Tomato, Spinach, and Cheese Stuffed Chicken
Two large chicken breasts
3/4 cup Kraft Sun Dried Tomato Vinaigrette Dressing & Marinade (salt and pepper and olive oil would also work fine)
1/2 cup sundried tomatoes
1/2 cup roughly chopped spinach
1/2 cup feta cheese
1/2 cup mozzarella cheese
Marinade the chicken breasts in the dressing for a few hours (I actually skipped this step. I just dumped some on right before I cooked them because I was doing it last minute).
With a large sharp knife, carefully cut the chicken breasts like hot dog buns. Don't cut all the way through.
Open the chicken breasts up where you cut them and layer on the remaining ingredients. It's okay if you can't fit all of it in, you can just leave some out. Just squish in as much as you can. Stick a couple of toothpicks in near the opening to keep it all together.
Heat up a pan (I used a cast iron skillet) and sear the meat on both sides. You can lower the heat and continue cooking the meat on the stove until it's done or, if you're using a cast iron skillet, you can put the pan in the oven at about 375ºF. You could also just completely cook it in the oven on a baking sheet if you don't feel like searing it. Just make sure you cook it until the center reaches 165ºF on a thermometer (I have one like this)

Watch as Patrick Stewart Recites a Poem with a Yorkshire Dialect

In a scene from TOWN with Nicholas Crane, Patrick Stewart, of Star Trek and X-men fame, gets nostalgic over his childhood and recites a poem in his native Yorkshire dialect. His mother and aunt would recite the poem around Christmas time every year which is probably why he still remembers it many years later. Stewart was born in Mirfield - a small town in West Yorkshire England.

Wildlife conservation on ice: frozen zoos to save animals

On the edge: Disease and habitat loss is decimating wild amphibian populations globally, with more than 200 species needing urgent intervention through captive breeding, says Dr. Simon Clulow. In a south-eastern suburb in Melbourne, there’s a zoo. It has no visitors, and there are no animals anywhere inside it. Rather, the Australian Frozen Zoo houses living cells and genetic material from Australian native and rare and exotic species. This place, and others like it, could be a big part of the future of conservation. Department of Biological Sciences’ Simon Clulow and his colleagues make the case for ‘biobanking’ in a recent piece in Conservation Letters. Clulow is keen to stress that this doesn’t mean getting rid of conventional zoos or captive breeding programs. “Captive breeding has had some wonderful successes, and there will always be a huge place for it,” he says. PhD student and lead author Lachlan Howell agrees. “It was captive breeding that brought the giant panda back f...

Liu Xue: Sculpture

Chinese artist Liu Xue has created some fabulous anthropomorphic sculpture which are sure to tweak your “Eweeee, gross!” button, in a great way. The unusual hybrids are from his series - ‘We are the World’ and they aren’t far from it. Obese fat Buddha men sit on their frog legs or flippers while emaciated men and women balance on chicken legs or dog bodies. The different anatomies merge seamlessly into a viable being. They are distorted and somewhat monstrous – yet at the same time so realistic, one might believe they actually do exist. Liu lives in Beijing, Chaoyang, China and that’s about all we could find out about him. We would love to know a little about his process – any Chinese folks out there that could throw a little research our way? LINK: To Liu’s Website/Blog
