I have been having a lot of fun in the kitchen lately, and cannot wait to share some of my creations with the Steemit Community! I hope to eventually open a food blog which will show all of my food photography and recipes. I am very passionate about cooking and baking, and put a lot of time into each recipe and photo, so I hope you enjoy! I will be posting a lot of recipes using the hashtag #cookingchronicles . I would love for you all to share your recipes as well using the same #cookingchronicles hashtag.

Today's recipe is Prosciutto and White Cheddar Stuffed Chicken Breast over angel hair pasta.
I made this for dinner last night, and my family loved it! As you can see from the above photo of last night's dinner, the meal is as visually appealing as it is delicious! The best part is it isn't too difficult to make. This is a great meal to serve if guests are coming over for dinner. I guarantee they will be impressed!
