Chicken Breasts Stuffed w/ Spinach and Provalone
Recipes » Main Dish » Poultry - Chicken
Boneless Skinless chicken breasts stuffed with low-fat provalone cheese, spinach and scallions. Great served with a lite salad for a flavorful healthy meal.
"I've been doing too many stuffed recipes lately, so I took the ingredients, using thin chicken cutlets, and made a layered casserole, with chicken on the bottom, then cheese, then stuffing, then repeating and ending with a third layer of thin chicken topped by cheese and the lemony topping. Put it all in the oven and it made something like a lasagna with thin chicken cutlets instead of noodles. Totally delicious!!! Great recipe!" - healthymeYield: 4 Ready in 45 minutes

Notes Chicken Breasts Stuffed w/ Spinach and Provalone Preparation
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.
Notes
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.

Delish! I would actually add more lemon next time.

Loved it but it was a little to much lemon for me. I will definitely eat it again though just need a different dressinf on it.

I also made a few changes that were suggested in previous reviews. My family loves mushrooms, garlic and scallions, so I added the three ingredients after they had been sautéed. Awesome!! Lynn

Added artichoke hearts to the stuffing and pesto to the top. This was excellent!!!

Very tasty but I found that cooking the chicken that long at such a high temp dried it out. Next time I'll try a lower temp like 350

Had this for guests and everyone loved it- the stuffing was delicious! I wish there was a glaze or something to drizzle over the chicken, though!

Loved it! Next time, I think I will add artichoke hearts.

Love it! The only thing we did differently is used smoked gouda in place of the Provalone! Delish!!!!

PERFECTION!! I would like to first state that I am the type to admit that I can't/ don't really cook much..the recipe was easy to follow and it turned out great!! I felt so proud of myself!! DEFINITELY will be cooking this again!

Deeeelicious. I skipped the lemon zest as the inside stuffing and sprinkled McCormicks 'California Lemon Pepper' for the baste spice. My grater stinks for zesting. Everything else worked out great!

My family enjoyed this one. Next time we are going to toast the bread crumbs for added flavor.

My wife makes this as a low carb meal, you have to make sure you eat it with in an hour or so for better taste.
