The following recipe is inspired by our lunch in Café Longet and now I have had plenty of time to test and refine this VERY EASY RECIPE INSPIRED by our day trip to Venice.

Lorraine’s Inspired Chicken

4 Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts

Kosher Salt and Freshly Ground Black Pepper

1 Package 4 Oz. Boursin Cheese or Herbed Goat Cheese

½ Cup Shredded Mozzarella

4 Slices Prosciutto

Preheat the Oven to 400 degrees.

Use a meat tenderizer and pound the breasts until they are about ¼” thick. Pat dry and season with Salt and Pepper. Please a spoonful or two of Boursin on one end of each chicken breast, top with a sprinkle of mozzarella cheese and roll the chicken up starting at the cheese filled end. Wrap a slice of prosciutto around each piece of chicken and place in a baking dish with the seam side down. Repeat. This recipe serves four. Bake for 30 – 35 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink and juices run clear when pierced with a fork.

I have been serving this delicious chicken with sautéed green beans, topped with roasted slivers of almonds or with sautéed spinach with garlic. This is easy and delicious, perfect for a weeknight meal or a tasty meal for company, when we are again entertaining in our homes.

Looking back at life in Central Florida before the Pandemic and all the fun we miss. We can assure you that fun times are returning as we are starting to see small groups of folks enjoying time together while maintaining a safe distance. Our friends and neighbors are being creative and hosting small gatherings in their driveways, on their lawns, or while parked in their golf carts. Our pools have reopened, our golf courses are green, and balls are again flying, and our walking trails are a great way to stay in shape. In Solivita, we have no excuse to not get out and enjoy a bit of Florida sunshine.

The good news is that our air is less polluted around the world, our roads are safer due to less traffic, gas prices are down and the pollution that flows daily from our factories into our rivers, streams and oceans has been reduced. Every coin does have two sides, and sadly the shutdown left a tremendous number of our fellow citizens unemployed and struggling. Solivita is a great community of folks and I am happy to report that together our neighborhoods have pitched in and helped to raise food and awareness for our local food pantries. We surely have a lot of caring folks in this community, thank you Solivita for making us proud to live, work and help lots of new folks find their perfect home in the Solivita sunshine.
