I was so excited when I saw this recipe! It looked so pretty yet so easy! It definitely was those two things, but it just didnt taste as fabulous as it looked. Dont get be wrong it was still good, but I guess presentation isnt everything.

Cheesy Hasselback Chicken (www.wearychef.com)

Ingredients

• 4 thick boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 4-6 oz. deli-sliced ham, cut into strips about 1" by 2"
• 4 slices cheese, cut into strips about 1" by 2" (colby jack, pepper jack, cheddar, provolone, etc.)
• seasoned salt
• freshly ground black pepper

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Slice slits about 1" apart in chicken breasts almost all the way through, leaving the bottom surface connected. Slide strips of ham and cheese into each slit.

Sprinkle chicken liberally with seasoned salt and pepper to taste. Place on a baking sheet lined with a silicone mat or aluminum foil sprayed with cooking spray.

Bake in preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through. Serve and enjoy!

Dan and I thought this meal looked pretty fancy, but sadly the chicken turned out kind of dry. Dan rated this a 3 stars out of 5.

Seriously... just over a month old and he learns to do this? Roarke you are growing up too fast already!

Dan and I are loving watching Roarke learn new things and explore the world around him. We are doing our best to present items to him that will help him develop along the way. I was reading that from birth to 3 years old a childs brain is 3 times more active than a normal adults as it soaks up tons of new information about the world around them. Dan and I have been giving Roarke music to listen to, reading books to him, giving him new items to look at and explore, and we talk to him a lot. Hopefully doing some of these things will help him in his future.

Im not gonna lie though, I was a little surprised when he rolled over this week! The doctor said he could learn to do this at any time, but I wasnt expecting it quite yet. Its so fun to watch him grow.
