Baked Roma Chicken

On September 1st we had the honor of meeting Jennifer Normant who was a Season 9 Hell's Kitchen finalist. Jennifer is a chef at the Hawthorne Hotel in Salem, MA and tried our Basil Vinaigrette. She thought our dressing was "de-lish!!!" and rose to the challenge of creating a recipe using Ellie's Basil Vinaigrette.

Please try this recipe created by Jennifer, which she refers to as "very simple....very tasty!!"

Baked Roma Chicken

4 Chicken Breast, skinned
1/4 cup Ellie's Going Green Basil Vinaigrette
2 Roma tomatoes, sliced
1/4 cup Seasoned bread crumbs
1/8 cup Romano cheese
2 tsps butter (optional)
Salt and Pepper to Taste

Marinate the chicken in Ellie's Basil Vinaigrette for a minimum of 1 hour.
Combine bread crumbs, romano cheese and salt and pepper, set aside
Put marinated chicken in an oven safe baking dish. Top chicken with 3/4 of the crumbs over all the chicken breast.
Top each breast with tomato slices shingled, the rest of bread crumbs and butter.
Cook at 350 degree, pre-heated oven for 20 minutes or until chicken is cooked through.

Ellie's Roasted Beet Salad

It's quick and simple and a tasty side for any main dish. Just follow the simple steps below.

Combine -
Roasted beets*, cubed
1/4 cup Ellie's Going Green Basil Vinaigrette

How Cute Is This?

Kids from the Glover School here in Marblehead helped celebrate Veterans Day at the town's Senior Center. What a wonderful way to thank our surviving Veterans for their service.
