Sandy Friede NEWBURYPORT, MASSACHUSETTS Here’s a savory entree that’s easy to make but elegant enough for company. I like to double the recipe and then freeze individual size portions for those busy days when I work late and don’t have time to cook.

Ingredients

1/4 cup chopped onion
4-1/2 teaspoons plus 1/4 cup butter, divided
1 garlic clove, minced
1 package (10 ounces) frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
6 ounces cream cheese, cubed
1/4 cup seasoned bread crumbs
6 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (6 ounces each)
1/2 teaspoon salt

Flatten chicken to 1/4-in. thickness; sprinkle both sides with salt and pepper. Place about 1/4 cup spinach mixture down the center of each chicken breast half. Fold chicken over filling and secure with toothpicks.

I couldn't find my stone ground mustard so used spicy brown mustard

I added some fresh grated parmesan and romano to the stuffing. Instead of bread crumbs I added wheat germ since I had no bread crumbs in my pantry. It turned out GREAT and that sauce is pretty tasty too.

Love this recipe and loved the fact that it freezes well. Liked the fact that the sauce for on top was plenty to cover all the chicken breasts.

This was really really easy to make. Didn't have stone-ground mustard, the only thing I had on hand was Dijon mustard which turned out great. Very tasty.

Came out really good! All I had on hand was Dijon Rough Mustard, and it gave the glaze a tangy taste! My 3 kids loved it and ate all the spinach inside. Will make again, Thanks!

I loved the combination of flavors in the stuffing and the glaze, they complemented each other beautifully.
