We love stuffed chicken. This is a new recipe I tried from the Sonoma Cookbook. It actually called for mint in the stuffing, but I wasn't brave enough to try it. I used plain feta & added regular sun-dried tomatoes and substituted the mediterranean herbs for the mint instead. This was a hit!Ingredients
1/4 c feta
2 T whipped cream cheese
2 T sun-dried tomatoes, chopped (do not reconstitute)
1 tsp dried basil
1 tsp dried oregano
1/2 tsp dried thyme
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
coriander
pepper
EVOO
1/4 c chicken or beef broth
1 10 oz pkg spinach
Directions
- In small bowl, combine feta, cream cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, herbs, and 1/8 tsp ground pepper.
- Trim chicken, if necessary. Cut small pockets in chicken and stuff with cheese mixture. Hold pocket closed with toothpicks if necessary.
- In large non-stick skillet, add 1 T EVOO over medium to medium-high heat.
- Add chicken.
- Lightly sprinkle chicken with coriander and pepper.
- Flip chicken after several minutes and sprinkle with coriander and pepper.
- Cook chicken, turning often, until internal temperature is at least 170 F. If the exterior cooks too quickly, you may need to turn the heat down to medium-low to prevent scorching. This is particularly true if, like me, you have electric burners.
- Remove chicken.
- Pour in broth.
- When broth begins to boil, add spinach.
- Cook to desired consistency (some people prefer wilted spinach, while I prefer mine to be sauteed until mostly done).
- Plate spinach covering it with chicken.
