4 chicken breasts
7 oz green chiles
1/4 lb monterey jack cheese
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
1 tsp chili powder
1/2 tsp garlic salt
1/4 tsp ground cumin
1/4 tsp lemon pepper
1/2 cup grated bread crumbs
6 tbsp margarine
Directions
1. Cut chicken breasts in half; bone and remove skin. Place waxed
paper over each chicken breast and flatten to about 1/4 inch thick,
using a meat mallet. 2. Drain, rinse and remove seeds from the canned
chiles. Cut chiles and the jack cheese into 8 pieces. Put a piece of
chili and a slice of cheese on each chicken breast. Tuck in sides and
roll. 3. In a shallow bowl, combine Parmesan cheese, chili powder,
garlic salt, cumin, lemon-pepper seasoning, and the dry bread crumbs.
Blend well. In another shallow bowl place the melted margarine. 4.
Dip each rolled chicken breast carefully into the melted margarine
then into crumb-cheese mixture. Place, seam-side down, in a 9 x
13-inch baking pan; keep chicken breasts from touching. Drizzle with
remaining margarine. 5. Refrigerate, covered with foil, 30-45 minutes
(this is a very important step!). Bake, uncovered, in preheated
400-degree oven for 25 minutes.

The History of Recipes
Written recipes as an idea can be traced back into antiquity, at least as far back into history as the early Egyptians, and potentially, even further back. However, generally, these early cookbooks were just very basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for meal preparation.
Later on, in The time of the romans 25BC a man called Apicius compiled a collection of documents describing recipes prepared by the Romans. In his publication, he recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were split into hors d`oeuvre, main meal and dessert, a very modern way of dining. Additionally, he informs us how the ancient cooks made use of a wide range of aromatic flavors, including some familiar names for example bay, fennel and asafoetida. Later on, in the 15th century, the Crusaders brought back many foods, spices and herbs from middle-east cuisine, including spices like rosemary and coriander. These new foods and spices caused an eruption in recipe publications, most of which are now in academic collections. The TV revolution brought us TV cookery programs and the accompanying recipe books. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the invention of the internet, allowing us all to search through thousands of recipes just like those on sites such as the one you are reading now. |
