Italian Herb and Parmesan Stuffed Chicken (Dot's Recipe)
"My mom has made these quasi-chicken-roll-ups since I was young. The sauce produced in the pan from the juices is delectable. These have a little kick to them. To reduce the kick, omit the red pepper flakes. Another idea I have had was to add a bit of ricotta cheese, but I have not tried that yet."

I am 26 and I teach high school Spanish. I've always liked tinkering around with recipes to make something new and trying new foods. As a result, I am quite chubby. In any event, in my free time I like to read, cook, spend time with family and friends and travel.
