This is one of my favorite recipes. I don't remember where I got it but it is SO good! I don't make it very often because it seems to take more time than most dinners...
One chicken breast per person, thawed and flattened (so it will be easy to roll)
Large handful of fresh spinach per chicken breast
About 2 Tbl spoons of olive oil
Garlic
Feta cheese
Toothpicks
Directions:
Flatten the chicken with a meat hammer thingy
In a non stick skillet pour about 1 Tbls of olive oil
Crush fresh garlic to taste in oil and cook until fragrant (I like a LOT of garlic so I use about 3 large cloves)
Add spinach to hot skillet with garlic and cook until wilted (about 5 minutes) tossing constantly
Remove skillet from heat and add Feta cheese (again I like a lot, but use however much you want)
Spoon this mixture onto the middle of chicken breast and roll chicken around spinach and secure with toothpicks
Clean the skillet and add 2nd Tbls of olive oil
Add chicken and cook until brown
Remove to oven safe dish and finish cooking in oven at 350 degrees or until juices run clear
Remove toothpicks, slice if you care to (sliced it makes a beautiful presentation!) and serve!
Since this already has a green veggie included in it, I try to make a side that isn't green, sometimes squash or whatever you think will go well. Enjoy!
Sounds yummy! May have to try this soon :)
