This Would Get You Chopped!

I don't know if any of you have ever watched the show Chopped on the Food Network, but it has become one of those food shows that just happens to be on all the time at my house.  This dinner tasted pretty good, and would have been wonderful if I hadn't not been in the mood to cook it.  I took this chicken recipe from my friend Maggie's blog.  Basically you just butterfly chicken breasts, spread pesto inside, and top with tomatoes and shredded cheese.  I probably used more cheese that she did (I stuffed some inside the chicken too), but the flavor of the dish was great.  I served it with my fool proof rice and roasted broccoli.  Broccoli is one of the veggies that I would rather not eat but I figured that since I am a "grown up" now I should make myself eat it every once in a while.  Usually I drown it with cheese but I decided to try roasting it to see if the garlic, EVOO, and caramelized ends would make it taste good.  And I think it would have, like I said, if I had been in the mood to cook.  I'll let these pictures speak for themselves.  This is Rob's plate before and after.

In my rush to get everything made and being not in the mood, I burnt the broccoli.  Oops!  I didn't think it was too bad but as you can see Rob clearly showed what he though.  I will try roasting broccoli again and next time I will take my time and watch it.
