Need to plan a date or just want something new and fun to do? You can have an early dinner with the recipe below- Just bake it and work it off on the dance floor!

Join in on the salsa dancing fun at La Rumba on Thursday or Saturday nights where they start off with a Salsa dance workshop followed by a Salsa night with a band. It all starts at 8 pm on both nights. Each night you will be taught by dance instructors who will go through the traditional salsa steps as well as challenge you. There is a $10 cost to attend but that includes your admission to the club, so you are free to dance the night away if you so choose. So go on, dance, swing your hips and move your feet to the beat of the music. Dale!

Rico Pico De Gallo Stuffed Chicken

This recipe I just made up on a whim all with things I already had at home. It turned out pretty good so I thought I would share!

Ingredients:
Toothpicks
4 chicken breasts
2 cups of Sabra Pico De Gallo salsa
3/4 cup of Gorgonzola crumbled cheese
3/4 cup of blue cheese
2 tablespoons of dried chives

lemon pepper seasoning

olive oil to drizzle

What to do:
Preheat oven to 350
Take your chicken breast (thawed) and butterfly them so the chicken breasts are easily stuffed. I also suggest that you pound them down a bit thinner.
In a baking dish place your chicken and drizzle with olive oil and season generously with lemon pepper seasoning.

In a small bowl mix in your salsa blue cheese and Gorgonzola and your chives as well as a little more lemon pepper seasoning all together. This is the mixture that will all be stuffed inside. I left a little extra to put on top after it baked.

Once it is all mixed together, you can begin to stuff each chicken. Once each chicken is stuffed secure the openings with a few tooth picks.

Now it is time to bake! Bake for 30-40 minutes I like to put aluminum foil over the chicken so they stay really juicy, this may change your baking time, so just keep an eye on them. I would recommend checking after about 25 minutes if you decide to keep them covered.

I served the chicken with pasta on the side just tossed in some garlic seasoning and olive oil- you could also do a steamed veggie or black beans!

I hope you enjoy!
Salud!
