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

  1. Preheat oven to 450F degrees.
  2. Add olive oil to a medium hot pan.
  3. Add garlic and mix for 2 minutes.
  4. Add spinach and saute for 5 minutes. Set aside in a bowl.
  5. Slice the chicken breasts in half length wise to make two thin slices.
  6. Cover with a piece of plastic wrap and pound it down to make it even thinner.
  7. Mix the spinach and garlic, feta, cream cheese, and salt and pepper.
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
  10. Place in the oven for 20 minutes, turning them midway through. Enjoy!
