The cranberry balsamic glaze in this roast chicken breast recipe is both sour and sweet, and it gives the chicken more depth and flavor. It's great for a fancy dinner or a holiday feast.

Ingredients: 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts. 1 cup cranberry sauce. 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar. 2 tablespoons honey. 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard. Salt and pepper to taste.

Instructions: Preheat the oven to 375F 190C. In a small saucepan, combine cranberry sauce, balsamic vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens slightly, about 5-7 minutes. Place chicken breasts in a baking dish and season with salt and pepper. Pour the cranberry balsamic glaze over the chicken breasts, coating them evenly. Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165F 74C, basting occasionally with the glaze. Once cooked, remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving. Serve the chicken breasts with any remaining glaze spooned over the top. Enjoy your delicious roast chicken with cranberry balsamic glaze!

These pinwheels are a delicious and fancy way to serve a special dinner. They are made with tender flank steak filled with savory spinach and gooey mozzarella cheese.

Ingredients: 2 beef flank steaks. Salt and pepper to taste. 1 cup chopped spinach. 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese. 2 tablespoons olive oil. 2 cloves garlic, minced. 1 teaspoon dried oregano. 1 teaspoon dried basil. 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes. Toothpicks.

Instructions: Preheat oven to 375F 190C. Using a meat mallet, pound the flank steaks until they are about 1/4 inch thick. Season both sides of the steaks with salt and pepper.

Starting from one end, tightly roll up each steak into a pinwheel shape. Secure the pinwheels with toothpicks to hold them together. Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.

This Spinach and Feta Stuffed Flank Steak is a fancy and tasty dish that would be great for a special dinner. A juicy flank steak is stuffed with a tasty mix of spinach and tangy feta cheese, making a tasty and filling main dish.

Ingredients: 1 flank steak about 1.5 pounds. 2 cups fresh spinach leaves. 1 cup crumbled feta cheese. 2 cloves garlic, minced. Salt and pepper to taste. 2 tablespoons olive oil.

Instructions: Turn on your oven and heat it up to 375F 190C. Place the flank steak on a cutting board so that it is flat. To make a pocket for stuffing, cut it across the middle but don't go all the way through. Put spinach, feta, minced garlic, salt, and pepper in a bowl and mix them together. Put the spinach and feta mix inside the flank steak's pocket. To keep the filling inside, tie the stuffed steak securely several times with kitchen twine. Put salt and pepper on the outside of the steak. A skillet that can go in the oven should have olive oil in it. For about three minutes on each side, sear the stuffed steak until it turns brown. Place the skillet in an oven that has already been heated and roast for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the meat reaches 130F 54C for medium-rare. Let the steak rest for 5 to 10 minutes after taking it out of the oven before cutting it. Cut the stuffed flank steak into big pieces and serve.

These tasty chicken-stuffed crepes are made with soft crepes that are filled with a creamy chicken mixture and then topped with a cheesy sauce. Great for a fancy dinner or brunch!

Ingredients: For the crepes:. 1 cup all-purpose flour. 1 1/2 cups milk. 2 large eggs. 2 tablespoons melted butter. 1/4 teaspoon salt. For the chicken filling:. 1 cup cooked chicken, shredded. 1/2 cup cream cheese. 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese. 1/4 cup chopped green onions. Salt and pepper to taste. For the sauce:. 1/4 cup butter. 1/4 cup all-purpose flour. 1 1/2 cups milk. 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese. 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese. Salt and pepper to taste. Chopped fresh parsley for garnish.

Instructions: Using a blender, mix the flour, milk, eggs, melted butter, and salt for the crepe. Mix until it's smooth. Put a nonstick skillet on medium heat and use butter or oil to lightly coat it. Add a little of the crepe batter to the pan and swirl it around to make it spread out evenly. Let it cook for one to two minutes, or until the edges begin to come off. It needs to be cooked on the other side for another minute or two. Do it again with the rest of the batter to make 810 crepes. Put away. Shred the chicken and mix it with cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, chopped green onions, salt, and pepper in a bowl until everything is well mixed. Put some of the chicken mixture on each crepe and then roll them up. Put them in a baking dish seam side down. In a saucepan over medium-low heat, melt the butter for the sauce. Add the flour and stir it in. Cook for one to two minutes, or until it turns golden brown. Slowly whisk in the milk. Cook, whisking all the time, for about 5 minutes, or until the sauce gets thicker. Put the pan back on the stove and add the Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper. Stir the mixture until the cheese melts and the sauce is smooth. Cover the crepes in the baking dish with the cheese sauce. Preheat the oven to 350F 175C. Bake the crepes for 20 to 25 minutes, or until they are warm all the way through and the sauce is bubbly and golden. Before serving, sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley. Have fun with your tasty chicken-filled crepes!
