Spinach Stuffed Chicken Breasts

Chicken is a big part of my weekly meal plans. It's high in protein, low in fat and gives you lots of energy. Normally I'll grill chicken breast for dinner and then brush it with a Sweet-Spicy Chili BBQ sauces. Then serve it with rice and vegetables to balance the meal. It is quite tasty but I've been looking for new chicken dish for dinner that has more range in flavor.

Allrecipes.com seems to have a recipe or two I want to try. I did a search on light feta cheese, spinach and chicken. Spinach Stuffed Chicken Breasts comes up in the results and it looks tasty.

Here is the recipe for Spinach Stuffed Chicken Breasts:

INGREDIENTS

* 2 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
* 1/4 cup mayonnaise
* 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
* 1 clove garlic, chopped
* 1/2 (10 ounce) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained
* 2 slices bacon

DIRECTIONS

1. In a medium bowl, mix mayonnaise, spinach, feta cheese, and garlic until well blended. Set aside.

2. Carefully butterfly chicken breasts, making sure not to cut all the way through. Spoon spinach mixture into chicken breasts. Wrap each with a piece of bacon, and secure with a toothpick. Place in shallow baking dish. Cover.

3. Bake at 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) for 1 hour, or until chicken is no longer pink.


This will serve two people. Double the ingredients if you want to serve four.

This weekend I will attempt to make this dish. I'll be sure to share the outcome.
