Roasted Red Pepper and Mozza Stuffed Chicken Breast

After 14 days of "easing back to work"...I am home for a few short days before returning to the regular 12 hour days + over time.
During the first 9 days I was feeling more than great. Not noticing the pain much at all and very happy to be back to work. The last 5 days...not so much. Although I tried my best not to let the pain in my left wrist...hand...forearm...bother me, it did cause a few moments of tears and frustration. I do hope this ends soon.

My lovely picked me up early yesterday morning and drove into Sydney for breakfast at Smitty's! A great start to a Sunday morning. Later in the day we visited our local Foodland and got a few items for supper. Darryl had purchased some fresh mozzarella so we decided our meal that evening would be based on that ingredient! Excellent! I love cheese!

Darryl made a wonderful homemade marinara sauce out of sweet mini-tomatoes and sliced some mozza up in nice thick pieces. After breading them in some Italian seasoned bread crumbs and pan frying them in butter, we topped it off with the sauce and had a wonderful appetizer! Delish!

For the main course, I took some baby red and orange bell peppers and roasted them off. Sliced open some chicken breast, seasoned them with Oregano, Salt, Pepper, a few slices of Mozza and the freshly roasted peppers (peeled and seeded of course!) wrapped them in some bacon and baked them in the oven. I served them up with smashed red skinned potatoes with butter, fresh basil and minced garlic....sauted baby bella mushrooms and asparagus!  


There is really nothing better than being home!
