Stuffed Chicken a la Roses By: Amanda G.

Recipe Story

I am a 26-year-old woman, diagnosed at 6 months old, living with CF now for my whole life. This recipe was created by my mom and she taught me at a very young age how to make it. When I first moved into my apartment in NYC, it was one of the first meals I cooked for myself. It was delicious and made me miss home a bit. It may have been a small thing, but being able to make this recipe for myself, that my mom once made for me, gave me the confidence to know that I can make it out on my own. The skin on the chicken, butter, olive oil and goat cheese are the extra calories that are needed for CF kids and adults!
