This is a healthy yet delicious meal that all of our family loves! Even my husband loves this dish and he hates vegetables! Makes great left overs too :) Ingredients:
4 chicken breasts |
3 tablespoons minced garlic |
1/4 large sweet onion, chopped |
4 cups fresh spinach |
1/2 cup feta, crumbled (or amount desired) |
4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil |
Directions:
1. Slice chicken breasts on the side, lengthwise creating a pocket to stuff the spinach mixture inside. Set aside.
2. Pour 2 TBS olive oil in large saute pan, turn heat on medium. Saute onions and 2 TBS garlic in pan until onions are clear, then add spinach. Leave spinach on top of onions and garlic, cover with lid and let cook until spinach is steamed and well cooked. Then mix spinach in with onion and garlic mixture, saute for another minute. Turn off burner. Fold feta cheese into spinach mixture.
3. Stuff the spinach, garlic, onion, feta mixture into each chicken breast until full. Close the side of chicken breast with 1 or 2 toothpicks making sure that none of the stuffing will come out. Next add 2 TBS olive oil to large saute pan and 1 TBS minced garlic on high heat. Saute chicken breasts in saute pan for about 3 minutes each side until they start to turn brown. Then put all the chicken breasts in a glass baking dish and bake at 350 degrees for about 20 minutes.
4. Makes 4 servings.
