Goat Cheese Stuffed Chicken and a Zoom Dinner

May 21, 2021

Not to dwell on the realities of 2020, but we had to get creative about seeing friends, if only virtually. For an international Zoom dinner, one of the guests made a wish for chicken breasts stuffed with herbed goat cheese and vegetable Napoleons on the side. That was a wish I could control. And I …
