Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 tablespoon oil
1 ½ cups white mushroom
salt, to taste
black pepper, to taste
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaf
4 cups baby spinach
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
½ teaspoon paprika
3 tablespoons shredded cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • Heat the oil over medium heat in a large, nonstick skillet.
  • Toss in the mushrooms and season with salt, pepper, and thyme. Sauté until the mushrooms have started to darken in color.
  • Place the spinach on top of the mushrooms and toss until the greens have wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Set the spinach mixture aside.
  • Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt and pepper.
  • Using a sharp knife, make vertical cuts, about half an inch apart, making sure not to cut all the way through the chicken.
  • Transfer the chicken to a greased roasting pan.
  • Stuff the spinach mixture into the cuts of the chicken breasts. Season with paprika and top with a sprinkle of grated cheddar cheese.
  • Bake for 20-25 minutes at 400°F (200°C), until the cheese has melted and the chicken has reached an internal temperature of 165°F (72°C).
  • Let the meat rest for 5 minutes before serving.
  • Enjoy!
