Delicious stuffed chicken breasts. Reposed from this site.

Ingredients

• 3 chicken breasts
• 8 oz chopped frozen spinach, cooked according to package directions and squeezed dry.
• 3 oz feta, crumbled ( about ½ cup )
• 4 oz cream cheese
• 1 clove garlic, diced
• ¼ teaspoon salt, divided
• ⅛ teaspoon pepper
• 1 tablespoon olive oil

Directions

Preheat oven to 450ºF.

Mix the chopped frozen spinach, feta, cream cheese, garlic and 1/8 tsp salt in a medium sized bowl.

Cut a pocket along the side of each chicken breast: Insert knife 2/3 into the chicken at the thickest part, then cut along to the thin part, stopping before you cut all the way through.

Separate the spinach and cheese mixture into three parts. Roll and stuff into the pocket of each chicken breast. Season with remaining salt and pepper.

Heat the olive oil in an ovenproof pan set over medium high heat, then add the stuffed chicken, pocket side down. Cook for 5 minutes, then flip the chicken over.

Place the pan into the oven, and bake for 10 minutes or until chicken is cooked through.
