Ingredients
- 3/4 c. frzn choppen spinach thawed, liquid removed
- 1/4 c. low-fat ricotta cheese - (2 ounce)
- 1/2 c. shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese (2 ounce)
- 2 tsp minced fresh tarragon
- Â Â (or possibly 1/4 tspn dry tarragon)
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/8 tsp freshly-grnd black pepper
- 4 x chicken breast halves - (1 3/4 lbs)
- 2 tsp extra virgin olive oil
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Prepare a shallow baking pan with nonstick pan spray.
- Combine the spinach, cheeses, and seasonings in a small bowl. Lift up the skin from each chicken breast half and stuff the spinach mix between the skin and chicken meat. (Be careful no to tear the skin). Smooth the skin over the stuffing, tucking it underneath to create a neat package.
- Brush the stuffed breasts with extra virgin olive oil and place them bone-side down in a baking pan. Bake, uncovered, for 45 min, till the chicken is cooked and brown.
- This recipe yields 4 servings.
- Serving size: 1/2 breast plus stuffing (with skin).
- Comments: An herbed spinach and cheese mix is stuffed under the skin of plump chicken breasts, creating a dish which's perfect for a dinner party or possibly a special romantic dinner. The skin is needed to encase the stuffing in the chicken breasts, but you may wish to remove it before eating to help reduce calories and fat grams.
