Last night I enjoyed cooking dinner for myself. I made Chicken stuffed with spinach and mozzarella cheese. It's delicious, fast, and easy.


Recipe
Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breast
Salt
Pepper
Italian Seasoning (I like Mrs. Dash Italian Blend)
Crushed Red Pepper
Garlic (minced)
Spinach
Mozzarella Cheese

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Use olive oil or cooking spray to lightly oil a 8x8 baking dish. Butterfly the chicken breasts by cutting in half horizontally through the thickest part of the breast. Cut into 2 pieces. (If the tender is attached, remove and form 6 bundles instead of 4). Place one piece of chicken on a large piece of plastic wrap, fold over the chicken and pound to 1/4-1/2" thickness. Season with salt and pepper and Italian seasoning on both sides.

On each chicken breast, lay several spinach leaves, a pinch of minced garlic, a sprinkle of mozzarella cheese and crushed red pepper flakes. Roll each piece up and use a toothpick to hold the bundle together if necessary.



Cook for about 20 minutes and then switch the oven to broil, grate Parmesan cheese over the chicken and continue cooking until the cheese is melted and the chicken is lightly browned and cooked through.

I think it would be delicious to add mushrooms or red peppers sometime!

Happy cooking.
