From Diabetic Gourmet.com I love swiss cheese and spinach. It sounds like a good combination. Haven't tried yet.

Time 40m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 pinch salt
1 pinch pepper
4 ounces spinach (fresh or frozen)
4 slices swiss cheese
6 cups water

Steps:

  • Using a mallet or meat tenderizer, pound the chicken breasts until the meat is flat and even.
  • Season the chicken with salt and pepper.
  • Add a layer of spinach and a slice of Swiss cheese. Roll each breast tightly to ensure that the filling can not escape.
  • Wrap each breast tightly in aluminum foil.
  • In a deep pan, bring the water to a boil.
  • Place the foil-wrapped breasts into the water. Use a heat-proof plate to weigh the chicken breasts down and keep them completely submerged in the water.
  • Allow them to simmer in the water for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is completely done.
