SPINACH STUFFED CHICKEN

SPINACH STUFFED CHICKEN







Spinach Stuffed Chicken Breasts

Ingredients:

4 chicken breasts

1 tablespoon olive oil or avocado oil

1 tesapoon paprika

1 teaspoon salt, divided

1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

1/4 teaspoon onion powder

4 ounces cream cheese, softened

1/4 cup grated Parmesan

2 tablespoons mayonnaise

1 1/2 cups chopped fresh spinach

1 teaspoon garlic, minced

1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes


Directions:

Preheat oven to 375°F.

Place the chicken breasts on a cutting board and drizzle with oil.

Add the paprika, 1/2 teaspoon salt, garlic powder, and onion powder to a small bowl and stir to combine. Sprinkle evenly over both sides of the chicken.

Use a sharp knife to cut a pocket into the side of each chicken breast. Set chicken aside.

Add cream cheese, Parmesan, mayonnaise, spinach, garlic, red pepper and remaining ½ teaspoon of salt to a small mixing bowl and stir well to combine.

Spoon the spinach mixture into each chicken breast evenly.

Place the chicken breasts in a 9x13 baking dish. Bake, uncovered, for 25-30 minutes or until chicken is cooked through.


Notes:

This is NOT a low-calorie entree. With all that cheese, each delicious, mouth-watering serving is guaranteed to take years off your life. The really crappy years at the end where you have to eat nothing but strained gruel though, so live happy.
