Jay and Ginger were here for dinner tonight. Overall a really yummy dinner. – The chicken breasts were good, but I wasn’t especially fond of a meat stuffing. I’d prefer just cheese and herbs or something like that. – This orzo was a big, big hit. I crisped some pancetta and fried some sage leaves while I was making it, then added those at the end. Good addition. – The apples were extremely easy to make. Ginger made the filling while I prepped the apples. They took about ten minutes to make. I used Mutsu apples, my favorite for baking.

Wine: Koves-Newlan 2000 Zinfandel (Napa Valley, California). Yummy but not memorable Zin. Larry and I won this in a contest (AmaZIN Race).
I agree, chicken should be left with cheese and herbs. I bought some fontina the other day specifically for this dish sans the prosciutto. Your risotto looks amazing:)
