About me: I have always liked to cook, particularly breads, fruits, vegetables, vegetarian, poultry and lamb dishes. After marriage we cooked together progressively more difficult dishes with him doing the meat, grilling and frying, and I did the "dough" and the same type of things I had before. After children we started cooking more simply. After discovering the cause of my frequent migraines was an evolving long list of chemicals and odd ingredients, I began getting back to cooking from basic ingredients, and found I could be well again. I also try to cooking from what I can get in season at the ever present fruit and vegetable stands.

Very few ingredients, the scallions, goat cheese and crispy bacon made a very delicious filling and it cooked very quickly. This would be a nice dish for company as you could stuff the chicken ahead and cook it rapidly as it finishes in the oven after sauteing. My family would love to have it again.

This chicken breast recipe with a sauce full of mushrooms is great for in the middle of the week. I used a package of sliced mushrooms which really reduced the work. Another ingredient you will need that you may not have on hand is shallots. By a lucky accident I had thawed one package of boneless thighs and one boneless breast meat. After my initial shock wore off, I cooked them both up and the light and dark chicken meat enthusiasts were both quite satisfied and have requested this again.
