Yield
4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 cup chopped onion
- 1 cup diced tomatoes
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 6-ounce bag baby spinach
- 1 cup part-skim, shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup shredded parmesan cheese
- 4 boneless, skinless medium chicken breast halves (approx. 1.5 lbs)
- 2 teaspoon Italian seasoning blend
- 1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth
Cook
- Heat oil over medium heat in a nonstick skillet. Add onion and cook, stirring until onions are tender, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in tomatoes and garlic. Add spinach, cover, and cook for about 3 minutes until spinach is soft. Remove from heat.
- Let mixture cool slightly; stir in mozzarella and parmesan.
- Heat oven to 375°F.
- Beginning in the center of the thicker end of the breast, insert a small knife horizontally, stopping about 1 inch from opposite end. Open the cut to create a 1-inch-wide pocket and pack 1/4 of the filling mixture into each breast.
- Season chicken with Italian seasoning blend and place in 13"x9"x2" baking dish.
- Pour broth over chicken. Cover loosely with foil and bake for 40 minutes.
- Keep warm until served.
Serve
Best served warm with a vegetable or grain of your choice.
