My inspiration here was to create an alternative to Chicken Cordon Bleu – one that fit a dairy and gluten free diet.  Likewise, I’ve been missing stuffed porkchops\/chicken breasts, and thought that this might also fill that void.  Simply put, replace the unhealthy carb\/fat loaded stuffings and replace it with a fresh vegetable medley and you’re all set.  And I must say that this tastes much better than what I was craving…  :)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I do want to comment quickly on the cranberries.  Up until a few months back, cranberries was something that I kind of tried to avoid.  The seem bitter, tart, and well… strange.  It’s that red stuff that you’d only have on Thanksgiving, right?  I decided to try them again – not on Thanksgiving – from a recipe I found a while back. And I have to say, I’ve been missing out!  While they are a bit bitter and tart if eaten raw and uncooked, they are amazing and bursting of flavor if cooked down a bit with some maple syrup.  As a sauce they are incredible and my wife and I get disappointed when the sauce runs out…  So I encourage you to give it a try – don’t be scared away from this recipe based on pre-conceived notions.  Your taste buds will thank you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Try this dish with your family and let me know what you think!  I’d love to hear your feedback.<\/p>\n\n\n
