Poster's Notes:
I found great KLP sherry at the Butcherie.
I usually do not use tooth picks but put 12 pieces close to each other in a lasagna (foil) pan. Maybe I have been making this too long.
All may be made in advance. The filling is easiest to make in the processor. (Mine is done and ready for Saturday night.)
Broccoli may be substituted but is not as good.
I usually triple this and hope that no one goes into the third pan so I can take this out for a Shabbat and have my dinner cooked.
Passover- As I have noted matzo meal is substituted and the seasonings are adjusted to taste. Chometz seasoned salt has a red coloring which gives the baked chicken a good color. My Passover seasoned salt has no color so I sprinkle a little paprika on the chicken breasts along with the seasoned salt and the regular salt. I use potato starch as the thickener for Passover. (Be careful as I usually get major lumps and have to do it a few times before I can make it smooth).
I am sure that everyone is crazy kashering everything. I just wanted to post this recipe that I have been making for about 45 years. I make it for holidays, dinner parties and reconstruct it for Pesach.
