Boneless Skinless chicken breasts stuffed with low-fat provalone cheese, spinach and scallions. Great served with a lite salad for a flavorful healthy meal.
Preheat Oven to 425. Prepare Baking Pan, [I prefer to use a glass baking dish] Spray pan with cooking spray.
Prepare Stuffing: In small bowl mix bread crumbs, spinach, scallions, lemon rind and egg.
Prepare Topping: Mix juice of 1 lemon, olive oil and black pepper. Set aside.
Prepare Chicken: Butterfly each chicken breast, being careful not to slice completely through. Place one slice of Provolone on each open breast. Place of the stuffing in each chicken breast. Fold the chicken breast back together, gently pushing the cheese and stuffing inside. Place all 4 stuffed chicken breasts into the baking dish. Whisk topping to ensure well mixed and drizzle over the top of the chicken breasts evenly. Put baking dish in oven, center rack, for 40 minutes.
I serve this with a salad of mixed baby greens and tomatoes, tossed with a sherry-shallot vinegarette or a baby spinach salad with red onions and mandarin oranges tossed in a lite french vinegarette.
