Spinach and cheese stuffed chicken
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 10 oz chopped frozen spinach, thawed and squeezed dry.
- 3 chicken breasts
- 4 oz feta, crumbled
- 4 oz reduced fat cream cheese
- 2 clove garlic, diced
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ⅛ teaspoon pepper
- 6 toothpicks
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450F degrees.
- Add olive oil to a medium hot pan.
- Add garlic and mix for 2 minutes.
- Add spinach and saute for 5 minutes. Set aside in a bowl.
- Slice the chicken breasts in half length wise to make two thin slices.
- Cover with a piece of plastic wrap and pound it down to make it even thinner.
- Mix the spinach and garlic, feta, cream cheese, and salt and pepper.
- Scoop 1/6 of the spinach mix and place on the chicken breast and roll the chicken. Close it with a toothpick. Repeat 5 more times.
- Place on an oven pan with the seam down.I use silpat in my pans so I don't need to add fat to cook. If you don't have one you can use vegetable oil spray on the pan before placing the chicken on it.
- Place in the oven for 20 minutes, turning them midway through. Enjoy!
