I’ve always found cooking to be extremely therapeutic. Maybe it’s because it forces me to focus on something other than the day to day worries in life, maybe it’s the aromas, or the excitement of trying something new. Regardless of the reason, I’ve always felt like cooking is an amazing way to relieve stress and relax with my family. My girls love to cook with dad, but they are still young so I’m always thrilled when I can put something together that is easy for them to help out with. In this recipe they had a blast flattening out the chicken, adding the ingredients inside and rolling them up. In hindsight, I would have taken another pass at flattening the chicken since I think they were still a little thicker than I would have liked, which means less room for the stuff inside.  However, it still turned out to be a great dish.
