Spinach and Cheese Stuffed Chicken Breast Recipe

-


Similar to the baked in the oven chicken cordon bleu recipe. This spinach and cheese stuffed chicken is absolutely delicious, with minimal work. You can stuff it with pretty much anything you want. I've made it before stuffed with ham and cheese, hotdog, spinach and cheese, garlic butter, flavored cream cheese and the list goes on. To stuff it with anything else, follow the same recipe and just replace the spinach with whatever it is you will substitute.
Ingredients
4 Chicken breasts
1/2 bag spinach
8 slices mozzarella cheese
8oz heavy cream
a few toothpicks
seasonings (lawyers all purpose seasoning, salt, red pepper, parsley flakes)
optional: chopped Onion and mushroom for sauce

How to make it:
Preheat your oven to 400F or 200C
Clean your chicken breast click this link to learn how to properly clean . Once that is done,slice your chicken breast in half, if you are really good with the slicing, attempt to cut it very thinly into 3. This will now allow you to have instead of 4 fat breasts, 8 - 12 thin rollable breasts.  Season with a little of each seasoning listed above. Be careful not to over season. It is always better to under season than to over season. 

Take one breast at a time and wrap the cheese inside the spinach as best you can(this helps for the cheese to not come oozing out of the sides of the chicken when baking)  place it in the center of the breast and roll tightly longwise and secure it with a toothpick. Do this to all of the chicken and place them on a lightly greased pyrex. Grease with olive oil.

Place them nicely on the pyrex and cover with aluminum foil. Place in the oven and cook for 1 hour. Remove aluminum foil, drain any excess water if you have any and continue cooking for another 20 - 30 minutes until lightly browned. 

Sauce
Prepare the sauce while the chicken is still cooking in the oven. In a small pot heat some oil and add in onion and mushrooms, sauté until golden (optional if you don't want to add it your sauce can just be plain.) once golden add in your heavy cream, season a bit with lawrys or some salt and pepper and cook for about 15 min on medium high heat. Mixing every few minutes to not burn. It will be ready when sauce dramatically thickens and becomes a slightly creamed color.  Set aside and let cool

When your chicken is out of the oven and ready to be plated, you can pour your sauce on top and serve hot.

Serves excellent with rice or  mashed potatoes
Enjoy
From my kitchen to yours
God Bless

Mommy Grandma Here is my beautiful mother and my grandmother both of whom I love dearly. Oh, yes. And look at my darling twin sister. My mirror, my look alike. which one am I? Do you know? Well my mom and grandma were  both born in Furna - Brava, Cape Verde also known for its portuguese name as CaboVerde. A portuguese speaking Island off of the coast of West Africa. Me in CapeVerde In CapeVerde just like in any other Country there are many traditional dishes such as 2 of the main ones. Cuscus - a breakfast bread and Cachupa- a heavy soup for lunch. These are 2 of my favorite Capeverdian foods along with others such as funginho, gigacida, and the list goes on. Cuscus is a breakfast food. For those of you who don't know what it is, its similar to a corn muffin or a corn type of bread. It is made fresh and eaten whilst hot off of the stove spread with loads of butter to melt nicely on top. I love eating this with my favorite rasberry tea. Some of you might hate i

Do you get a white ooze when cooking Salmon?

Does your salmon often look like this when you cook it? Tried baking, frying, poaching it but this stuff keeps coming out? Quick tip: when cooking salmon it is common for a white sort of cream to come oozing out all around the fish. Though it does not affect the taste. It can be found to be annoying and not pretty. But I found the trick to solving this problem, it happens because salmon is an oily fish, there are many oils within the fish itself. When cooking all of these oils come out in the form of this white ooze, normally from my own experience, when this happens the fish tends to become dry. Because now all of that moisture and oils meant to keep the fish succulent and juicy was just taken out. I found a solution to this problem. To keep all the oils locked in, you need to dry out the surface of the fish.  Before seasoning drizzle a little bit of vinegar on the fish and rub it in well. Continue your seasoning process. You will see that your problem will be resolved. F
