When I saw this recipe on Pinterest for Spinach Stuffed Chicken, I thought it look delicious, but wanted to make a few changes. I didn't need to reinvent the wheel, but added some variations to spice it up! This is a simple healthful recipe that the whole family will love.
It turned out absolutely delicious! I ate it for dinner that night and for lunch the next two days. I swear everyday that I heated it up, it got a little better.
This is the original recipe from allrecipes.com
Ingredients:
2. Steam the frozen spinach
3. Pound the chicken breasts flat (I couldn't find my meat tenderizer, so mine were still pretty thick)
4. Season the chicken with pepper and creole seasoning
5. Mix together the cooked spinach, cheese, Greek yogurt, cayenne pepper, red pepper flakes.
6. Spoon spinach mixture on top of chicken breasts and fold over (or roll up if the chicken is thin enough) Use toothpicks to secure, if necessary
7. Bake for 35 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink in the center.
We topped it with Sriracha and served it with tabbouleh salad for a delicious, healthful, flavorful meal.

This looks so delicious! I am not a bad cook, I just hate cooking in general. So does my husband, so we typically are awful at meal planning. This looks great, though! I will have to try it!
ReplyDeleteOur arrangement is usually that he cooks and I clean. I hate cleaning too! LOL
