If you're on Facebook, you probably have seen those yummy food videos by Tasty floating around. I've tried a couple of their recipes so far and they have been faaaantastic, so when I saw one for hasselback chicken I had to try it. Mainly because 1. it looked super easy and 2. I had no idea what a hasselback chicken was so if course I had to make it.
Apparently it's a spin off from hasselback potatoes, which are Sweden's version of baked potatoes. They were popularized as the namesake dish of the restaurant at the Hasselbacken Hotel in Stockholm, Sweden- thank you Wiki! I've actually had these lovelies before but I never knew they had a name. A glorified baked potato sliced up to look all fancy and sh*t?!! YASSSSSS!!!!!
Anyways, back to the hasselback chicken. Tasty's recipe calls for ricotta cheese and spinach stuffed into the chicken. Easy peasy but I didn't have any ricotta cheese. I mean who keeps that in their fridge all the time? I guess if you make lasagna a lot? So I decided to stuff it with ingredients I did have and if I don't say so myself, it still turned out deeeeelish :) Enjoy!
