Recipe: Bruschetta Chicken Packets

We're not big chicken eaters in this house. It's something my husband inherited from his father, and it's something I've gotten used to. I also hate handling chicken. Oh, and when it sits too long in the fridge and goes bad ... that smell! Yuck.

Umm, we do like Tyson chicken (see: frozen, breaded) in all forms :)

Anyways, I am trying to incorporate more real chicken into our dinners.

I prepared Foil-Pack Bruschetta Chicken Bake the other night. I liked it - I like things in packet-form. The chicken was moist. The stuffing was delicious (prepared with canned tomatoes - no butter!). My youngest son also gobbled it up (but he also eats peas by the handful). My oldest son did not (be he doesn't like much beyond peanut butter and jelly). My husband ate it, but he didn't take seconds (and that means he didn't like it).

So, it's a great recipe for chicken eaters ... but not so great that it'll convert the non-chicken eaters.

One of the things I love about our friendship is that you never made me feel insane for my utter hatred of handling raw chicken! Okay, it's a small thing, but it's a thing! Everyone else tells me I'm insane, but I'll literally put it in the freezer right after getting it home from the store, and I'll cook it after it's thawed. I can handle touching it now, but frozen is much preferred! Yes, I'm a dork.

You certainly don't need to explain your hatred of raw chicken. Raw chicken, worms, fish with scales ... all three things I'd rather not touch. Ever.
