Ingredients

• 6 small-medium boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 4 oz baby spinach, julienned
• 1/4 cup part skim ricotta
• 1/4 cup reduced fat feta cheese
• 2 tbsp Light sour cream
• 2 tbsp finely chopped sun dried tomatoes
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tsp Dijon mustard
• 2 tbsp finely chopped scallions (green onions)
• 1/2 tsp salt (more or less to your taste)
• 1/2 tsp FRESHLY ground pepper
• Add other herbs to your liking! Fresh or dried.
• 1/2 tsp oregano
• 1/4 tsp basil
• 1 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Combine all ingredients except olive oil and chicken, until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
Using a paring knife, make a pocket in each chicken breast.
I find the best way is make the pockets is to cut a small-medium sized pocket with my paring knife, then use my finger to make it bigger.
It's easy to cut a hole in the chicken with the knife.
Take your stuffing mixture and stuff it in each chicken breast.
Brown each chicken, skin (smooth) side down in a med-high skillet with olive oil or butter for 2 minuets apiece.
Place on rimmed baking sheet and bake for 25 minuets. This goes great with my sauteed zucchini.
