I am pretty sure you've looked in your freezer and said to yourself, "Chicken again?" The same boring baked chicken gets boring after awhile. Here is a recipe that your family will enjoy and you can get it all done in under 45 minutes. These stuffed chicken is so incredibly easy and so tasty. A little tip, if you don't feel like buying all the ingredients to make the dip, you can always buy premade spinach & artichoke dip.
What you’ll need (4 servings):
· 1 to 1 ½ lbs. Boneless chicken breasts (4 - 4-oz. portions)
· ¼ cup – Greek Yogurt
· ½ cup – Mozzarella Cheese (shredded)
· 4 oz. – Whipped cream cheese
· 2 tbs. – Olive oil or avocado oil
· ½ cup – Artichoke Spread or Artichoke hearts (thinly sliced)
· ½ cup frozen spinach drained
· ½ tsp of 21 Seasoning Salute (Trader Joe’s) or simple Salt & Pepper will do
· Salt & Pepper
Directions:
1. Pound chicken breast to about 1-inch thick (if needed). Using a sharp knife cut each chicken breast down the middle to make pockets (do not cut all the way through). Season chicken breasts with ½ teaspoon of 21 seasoning salute.
2. In a medium-sized bowl combine the Greek yogurt, Mozzarella cheese cream cheese, spinach, artichoke hearts, ¼ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon of pepper. Mix until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
3. Fill each chicken breast with equal amounts of your spinach & artichoke filling.
4. In a large skillet over medium heat add oil and then add the stuffed chicken breasts. Cover skillet and cook for 8-10 minutes on each side, or until chicken reaches 165 degrees with a meat thermometer.
5. If you have additional filling leftover, add additional filling to the skillet to heat it up. Once chicken is done cooking serve with your side of choice. A few options would be rice, veggies, mashed potatoes, mashed cauliflower or pasta.
6. Enjoy!
