Breaded Chicken Breast Stuffed with Spinach & Feta




If you are a fan of stuffed chicken then this dish is no brainer. It's extremely tasty and satisfying you will think you are cheating on your diet. Needless to say, a serving of this dish is about 200 calories give or take.

Serves 2

Ingredients:
1/2 lb of chicken breast (thinly sliced into cutlets)
1/2 cup Frozen Spinach (Thawed and water squeezed out of it)
2 Tbsp of Scallions
1/4 of an onion (diced)
1/4 cup fat free feta cheese
1/6 cup fat free (or partly skim) ricotta
McCormick Montreal Chicken Seasoning (or any of your choice...this one is my favorite)
2 Tbsp of parsley (chopped)
Salt 
Pepper
1 egg
1 clove garlic (minced)
1/4 cup of Italian seasoned breadcrumbs
Oil Spray 
1 tsp olive oil
Toothpicks
Cookie Sheet

Directions: 
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees

1. In a small pan, heat the olive oil and add diced onions, garlic, and scallions and saute for about 1 to 2 minutes. 
2. Add salt and pepper (to your liking), as well as the spinach and parsley. Cook for another 1 to 2 minutes. 
3. Once everything is done cooking, remove pan from heat and add the feta and ricotta cheese. 
4. Pound your thinly sliced chicken cutlets to make them slightly thinner then season them with the chicken seasoning, salt and pepper. 
5. Place about 1 to 2 tablespoons of the spinach mixture to the center of your cutlets and roll them while securing the edges with toothpicks.
6. In the separate bowls, have the egg wash and breadcrumbs ready for dipping. 
7. Dip the chicken in the egg wash first then roll them in the breadcrumbs until fully covered. Place aside. Do this for all your chicken rolls. 
8. Spray a cookie sheet with oil spray ( I love Trader Joe's canola oil spray).
9. Place chicken rolls on cookie sheet and spray them with oil. 
10. Cook for about 25-30 minutes. 
11. Remove toothpicks before serving. 

Enjoy! I served mine with Trader Joe's Cauliflower Romanesco Basilic for a complete meal.
