How to make Chicken Breast stuffed with Spinach and Cheese

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.

Spray two 18.6 ounce oven save baking dishes with non-stick spray. Click for 18.6 ounce baking dishes.

Reserve about ½ cup of the spinach leaves and set aside. Line the baking dishes with the remaining spinach leaves, divided evenly.

Using a filet knife, butterfly the chicken filets. Slice them lengthwise and horizontally through the middle but not all the way through, leaving one side seam intact like a book.

I highly recommend getting a fish filet knife for this. It even slices through frozen chicken. Mine never leaves my kitchen and will never see the inside of a fishing tackle box! This is a must have kitchen accessory for me. Click for a Rada Filet Knife with Leather Scabbard.

Spread the garlic on top of the chicken.

Place one slice of cheese over each chicken piece.

Top each with the reserved spinach leaves, divided evenly.

Fold chicken in half keeping the stuffing inside.

Place one stuffed chicken into each baking dish.

Sprinkle paprika, salt and pepper over the top of chicken pieces.

Bake uncovered 25 minutes.

Place another cheese slice on top of each piece of chicken.

Bake for another 5 minutes.

Serve hot dishes on cork trivets to protect surfaces and tables. Click for cork trivets.

Be careful, the dishes will be very hot.
