Alrighty, it's actually really simple. But there's no real measurements. . . But it's easy enough to just do on your own.
Package of 8-10 Boneless Chicken Breasts, (I got a package of 8, at walmart it costed $10.10)
1lb-2lbs of shredded Colby& Monteray Jack Cheese mix, (Got 2lbs, but didn't not use even half of it. Costed about 7 bucks)
Package of Saltine Crackers (was $1.19 at walmart)
A giant sprinkle/cover of:
Salt
Pepper
Basil
And then on the kitchenware side, you'll need a
glass 9 by 13 inch dish. (I could only fit 6 in this pan though, and then had to get another glass dish out that was jsut a random one in the pantry and I have no clue to what size it is, you'll just have to find something, but try to make it glass.(
And then a Meat Tenderizer, or something to beat the breasts with.
First, put the package of saltine crackers in a big ziplock bag or something, crush em. . Till most of it is pretty fine with some small sized chunks. Now I didn't put the salt, pepper, or basil into the mixture of the saltines. .
But from my experience, I should have. I was washing my hands every second just ot put on the other seasonings. So simply put pretty even medium amounts of the three into the crushed crackers. (This will be totally based on your judgement, of how much spice you like more or less.)
Now, around the end I did throw a couple more spices. . I'm very big on smelling what I have (Was kinda hard to smell raw chicken, but in this case you think of how chicken taste like. Your nose has taste buds in it, and therfore you nose and tounge really do share alot of common ground on food. So if it smells right together, it will 95% taste like it smells. There are exeptions but that's my personal basic rule.)
I threw some kind of chicken seasoning in there along with, I think some season all just to be weird. Idt it really even came up in taste because of how little I put, but it's a good time for you to experiment on a few of the singluar breasts if you like. Now put the cracker mixture onto a plate or pan as you will be puting this on the raw chicken later.
The cheese: put a really good amount of cheese on a seperate plate. As you'll be handling raw chicken (Can we say, Salmonella?) and you DO NOT want to be putting you hand back in to the bag and sticking that cheese back in teh fridge when your done. and you'll be grabbing some cheese, sticking right amount on chicken and then go on to the next kinda deal. If you don't put enough on the plate to begin with, just remember to wash your hands before you even touch teh bag. It's good to be safe than sorry.
Now the chicken: take a plate and put a breast on it, it'd be good if you put seranwrap on top of the chicken.
Take your meat tenderizer and start beating the thing.
Your trying to make it flatter, and wide enough to put some shredded cheese in the middle and kinda roll it up. Not to mention, it helps make it easier to chew and gives it a melt in your mouth feel.
Once the breast is ready to your expectations, take teh cheese, put it in the middle, enough but not to much and then sorta of roll/close the chicken around the cheese.
When it's somewhat secure at least, hold the chicken and kinda roll it in the crackers and use your hand to put some of it on the missed spots. You want to at least cover it.
and then stick it in the pan and repeat the process. They should be at least 3 quarters of an inch away from each other. But it's not really a big deal. No, theres nothing you need to spray on the pan or anything.
When your close to the last ones, you want to preheat your oven to 375 degrees.
Before you put em in, you can choose to add anything to it. I could tell that some raw broccoli cooked with it would've prolly been a home run, but that's all up to you. You can add any more spices to top on em, or perhaps some leaf spices of some sort. Whatever smells good and it you wanna try to make it pretty or not. I did sprinkle more cheese on top of em all at this time.
Put foil over the pan and chicken, use a toothpick and puncture some holes on top, however many you wnat but at least 6.
Stick in the oven, put timer on 40 mins, check it. Mine ended up being 45 mins.
the only way to check it if it's truly done(To me at least, as I'ma stickler for extremely done meats. I'll burn it before anything), is to take it out and cut one in the middle. If the meat doesn't look raw and is a nice meaty look, and white it should be done. If your not sure, perhaps google can help or someone in your house can tell. The top picture shows an idea. But it will not "brown" as much as one might think.
When you store them, make sure you do not keep em in teh same pan with the inch of goo and juice. That's never a good thing. You're gonna have to figure that out.I happened to have another pan lol
But there you go! A simple chicken breast recipe. Prep time took about 30 mins for me. And the cooking 45.
Cost: around 25 bucks. Feeds anywhere from 5-9.

So What's Happening??
Well, I didn't get as much done the other day as I would like, but enough .
I am at the moment washing clothes, and cleaning my room. And that's all I really plan to do today as far as work goes. Oh! And put up some camouflage burlap in daddy's shop.
And for fun today, prolly gonna go to the drive in and see the Green Lantern, after it on the same screen X-men: First Class. I've seen the xmen already, and really enjoyed it. But it did have a few parts that I wasn't too keen on. But if you've watched the other xmens, it's no worse than them. And if you were perhaps disappointed in the last one, this one will refresh you immensely.
I've been excited for the green lantern. . The comics I read were always pretty good, so I hope the movie meets my expectations.
I have been working ALOT lately. Infact, I'm getting that work related stressed feeling again creeping up on me. I must control this, as if it does take effect I will be out for count lol So, I pray the Lord gives me strenght on this.
Tricky Riddle moment!!
A bus driver was heading down a street in Colorado. He went right past a stop sign without stopping, he turned left where there was a "no left turn" sign and he went the wrong way on a one-way street. Then he went on the left side of the road past a cop car. Still - he didn't break any traffic laws.
Why not?
He was walking. (Highlight for Answer)
Well!! I will ttyl Golden Doves!
Swyl!
