1/3 cup Zia’s Sweet Italian Dressing

1/4 cup diced prosciutto ham

1/4 cup Italian seasoned bread crumbs

1/4 cup shredded provel cheese

3/4 cup Zia’s White Wine, Lemon, & Butter Sauce

Combine chicken and salad dressing in a resealable plastic bag and marinate for 1 ½ hours. Discard marinade. Prepare medium fire in grill. Thread chicken onto skewers and dust with bread crumbs. Grill over medium heat until juices run clear when pierced. Bring Zia’s White Wine, Lemon & Butter Sauce to a simmer over low heat. Add mushrooms and prosciutto. Cook until mushrooms are tender (about 5 minutes). Remove chicken from skewers to serving plate, top with provel cheese and cover with sauce. Garnish with additional provel cheese.

(Note: If not using a grill, preheat oven to 350 degrees. Do not use skewers, instead arrange breaded chicken in oven safe dish and bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until chicken is cooked through).

Eggs: More Than They’re Cracked Up to Be--That’s No Yolk!

Melinda Hemmelgarn, M.S., R.D.

Eggs are perennial harbingers of spring, associated with renewal and rebirth. From religious ceremony to children’s backyard hunts, eggs are key to seasonal tradition and celebration. More eggs are sold in the spring than at any other time of the year. The week after Easter is “National Egg Salad Week,” and May is “Egg Month,” so let’s dig in!

A Russian proverb says: “Love and eggs are best when they are fresh.” Thanks to Missouri egg producers, there are plenty of fresh eggs to love! With over 1.8 billion eggs produced annually, Missouri ranks 13th in national egg production.

Unfortunately, eggs have taken a beating in the media. Much maligned for their cholesterol content, we rarely hear about eggs’ unique health benefits. Yet the truth is, eggs are a near perfect food. Each is a nutritional powerhouse, providing an economical source of high-quality protein, plus an assortment of essential nutrients, including: vitamin A, riboflavin, folic acid, vitamin B12, vitamin D, calcium, iron and zinc.
