Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 4 chicken breasts
  • 1 10-ounce package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
  • 1/2 cup cream cheese at room temp
  • 1/4 cup of Parmesan  cheese
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 1-2 tablespoons minced chives or green onions
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • salt to taste

Instruction

  •  Place plastic wrap on top of each chicken breast and using a meat mallet, pound them slightly thinner. ( they will fry up faster if you do this step.)
  • To butterfly your chicken breasts, lay them flat on sturdy surface. Place one hand on top to hold it in place and then slice 3/4 of the way through the chicken breast. Do not slice all the way through!
  •  Heat up the olive oil in a large skillet.
  • Fry the chicken breast in the frying pan on medium heat, approximately 7 minutes a side, until they start to get golden brown and crispy on the outside and reach a temperature of 165°F. You want the mto be cooked before you stuff them!
  • Combine the spinach, cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, chives and garlic in a bowl and microwave to take the chill off. Make sure it's nice and warm. ( this is such an easy cheat! I was so excited!)
  • Carefully spoon a quarter of cheese mixture into the middle of the cooked chicken breasts.
  •  Turn the heat to low and put a lid on the frying pan. Heat for another 5-7 minutes, until the cream cheese mixture has heated through.
  • Remove and plate. Enjoy!
