Description
Bone-in chicken breasts stuffed with spinach, cheese and onion and baked until tender. This is a simple recipe that I cooked up myself. It is, however, based on some pretty standard Greek/Italian dishes. Everyone loves this and it can be wonderful for company – even people who don’t usually like spinach find that they like this dish! Serve with your favorite shaped pasta, if desired.
Ingredients
- 1 (10 ounce) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- ½ cup chopped onion
- 4 bone-in chicken breast halves, with skin
- 2 cups spaghetti sauce
- ¼ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- In a medium bowl
- combine the spinach
- Parmesan cheese and onion and mix thoroughly. Stuff the cavity of each chicken breast with 1/4 of the mixture. (NOTE: Bone-in split breasts usually have a little cavity; if one is not naturally present
- use a sharp knife to make a slit in the side of the breast.)
- Lay stuffed breasts in a 9×13 inch baking dish
- and cover with the sauce.
- Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for about 35 minutes
- or until chicken is cooked through and tender; sprinkle with mozzarella cheese and bake another 5 minutes
- until cheese is melted.
