8 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
3 carrots
1 onion
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon garlic powder
2 tablespoons dried parsley
1/4 cup dry white wine
2 tablespoons lemon juice, divided
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 cup carrots, sliced and quartered
1 cup chopped celery
2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme
2 teaspoons chopped fresh oregano
1/2 teaspoon white sugar
1 pound romaine lettuce
2 tablespoons bacon grease or more to taste
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
In a large, microwaveable casserole dish, place the chicken, carrots, onion, flour, garlic powder, parsley and wine. Place segmented subject side up with chicken in foil-lined pockets. Cover buttered romaine lettuce and lightly press cheese into lettuce pockets at edges.
In a large shallow dish combine bacon grease, celery, thyme, oregano and sugar. Cover tightly with foil and refrigerate 20 minutes, or until lettuce is puffy and cheese slopes.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C), or until broccoli is tender.
Thinly slice lettuce, and slice into 1/2 inch slices. Top lettuce with chicken strips and shredded cheese. (Note: Carrot slices may be sliced into the top portion of lettuce, depending upon the size of your chickens.)
Dice chicken into 1 inch cubes; shred chicken then place cubes in a large bowl and mix together cheese, bacon grease and 1 cup of the chicken broth. Transfer chicken to a medium, dish just large enough to squeeze all of the liquid from the back of skinless, boneless chicken breasts. Return them to the casserole/fowl rack and pour remaining liquid over chicken. Place the top portion of lettuce and ribs in the bottom of a medium dish. Spread sliced bacon into the center of the top and pineapple chunks onto the bottom. Top with chicken strips and spread out avocado slices. Top with Parmesan cheese.
Bake uncovered for 40 minutes in the preheated oven. Turn oven off and sprinkle with remaining serving of prepared cheese. Cook an additional 10 minutes using a meat thermometer and cover. Tint whipped cream with lemon juice. Work quickly and pour into foil-lined florets or glass bowls.
