Spinach-Mushroom Stuffed Chicken Recipe

Prep: 35 min. Bake: 50 min.

Yield: 8 Servings

35 50 85

Ingredients

1 cup sliced fresh mushrooms
2 tablespoons finely chopped onion
1 garlic clove, minced
2 tablespoons butter
1 package (10 ounces) frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
1/4 cup julienned sweet red pepper (2-in. pieces)
1/2 cup finely shredded Swiss cheese
1/4 cup seasoned bread crumbs
1/2 teaspoon grated lemon peel
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
8 bone-in chicken breast halves with skin
2 cups white wine or chicken broth
1 cup heavy whipping cream
1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard

Directions

In a large skillet, saute the mushrooms, onion and garlic in butter until tender. Stir in the spinach and red pepper; cook for 3 minutes. Remove from the heat; stir in the Swiss cheese, bread crumbs, lemon peel, salt and pepper.
Carefully loosen chicken skin on one side of each chicken breast half to form a pocket; stuff with spinach mixture. Place in a greased 15-in. x 10-in. x 1-in. baking pan. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 50-60 minutes or until juices run clear.
In a small saucepan, bring wine or broth to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer until reduced to 1 cup. Slowly whisk in cream and mustard. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer for 2 minutes. Spoon over chicken. Yield: 8 servings.

This turns out very moist, which is great since this is white meat. I do not like frozen spinach since it's stringy. I use fresh baby spinach uncooked but chopped in my food processor. Since I always have leftover cheese, I have sprinkled it on top of the breasts during the last 15 minutes of bakeing; made a great crust. One last thing, sometimes when I made this is substituted Asiago Cheese for the Swiss. Yummm...two thumbs up.
