Dinner for Beginners!

We're making Florentine Prosciutto Wrapped Chicken!
Requirements:
3-6 handfulls of cut spinach
a healthy appetite
3 tablespoons-ish of pine nuts, sunflower seeds, or pumpkin seeds
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup ricotta cheese
a few cloves of garlic, grated or finely chopped
some nutmeg
chicken breasts - about 1 per person
slices of prosciutto - about 2 per chicken breast
and of course, olive oil, salt, and black pepper.

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
2. Toast nuts/seeds and then combine with spinach, cheeses, garlic, salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Taste the stuffing to make sure it's seasoned the way you want it to be. Add accordingly.
3. Cut into the chicken breasts the long way, making a groove to place the stuffing in. Place the stuffing in! Fold the chicken breasts over the stuffing and wrap each breast with the prosciutto to seal the stuffing in. Cover the whole chicken if possible. If not, no worries! Brush extra-virgin olive oil over the entire chickens and roast in the oven for almost 20 minutes. Maybe 18 and they'll be done!
4. Enjoy, and let me know what you think of it! We also made a pasta and pasta sauce to complement this dish. Goes well with rich, oaky Pinot Noirs with hints of cherries?!

More adventures soon, some inkitchen, some outdoors!
