SPINACH AND MOZZARELLA STUFFED CHICKEN BREASTS RECIPE - (4/5)



Spinach and Mozzarella Stuffed Chicken Breasts Recipe - (4/5) image

Provided by NailCandy

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
4 ounces mozzarella cheese, shredded
1 cup frozen spinach, thawed and drained
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning
1 tablespoon Italian flavored breadcrumbs
sea salt, to taste
freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Flatten the chicken to 1/4-inch thickness. In a medium bowl, combine the mozzarella, spinach, salt, and pepper. Combine the Cajun seasoning and breadcrumbs together in a small bowl. Spoon about 1/4 cup of the spinach mixture onto each chicken breast. Roll each chicken breast tightly and fasten the seams with several toothpicks. This part requires a tiny bit of skill and I typically use about 8 toothpicks in each roll to ensure none of the fillings seep out. Be sure to count how many total toothpicks were used! Brush each chicken breast with the olive oil. Sprinkle the seasoned breadcrumb mixture evenly over all. Sprinkle any remaining spinach and cheese on top of chicken (optional). Place the chicken seam side up onto a tinfoil-lined baking sheet (for easy cleanup). Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through. Remove the toothpicks before serving. Count to make sure you have removed every last toothpick. Serve whole or slice into medallions. Enjoy!

Time 1h

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 (10 ounce) package fresh spinach leaves
½ cup sour cream
½ cup shredded pepperjack cheese
4 cloves garlic, minced
4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - pounded to 1/2 inch thickness
1 pinch ground black pepper
8 slices bacon

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Place spinach in a large glass bowl, and heat in the microwave for 3 minutes, stirring every minute or so, or until wilted. Stir in sour cream, pepperjack cheese, and garlic.
  • Lay the chicken breasts out on a clean surface, and spoon some of the spinach mixture onto each one. Roll up chicken to enclose the spinach, then wrap each chicken breast with two slices of bacon. Secure with toothpicks, and arrange in a shallow baking dish.
  • Bake uncovered for 35 minutes in the preheated oven, then increase heat to 500 degrees F (260 degrees C), or use the oven's broiler to cook for an additional 5 to 10 minutes to brown the bacon.
