Stuffed Ricotta-Spinach Baked Chicken

Posted by Dexie

I agree with Leslie when she said chicken can be adapted into whatever flavour you're in the mood for in her chicken stew and dumplings dish. I'm a porker myself but I have to admit chicken is more versatile when it comes to the varieties of dishes you could make. I actually planned on cooking this dish before we moved into our new house but I was strep for time doing the packing and everything during that week that I wasn't able to make it. Then my husband's birthday came and I made roast chicken so this dish waited in the back seat to make room for another kind of dish that doesn't involved chicken coz I mentally plan my weekly menu by alternating the meat. Yah know, chicken, beef, or pork. Ok, enough with the blather, here's how to make this delicious chicken dish.

INGREDIENTS:
boneless chicken breasts
1 sm container of ricotta cheese
2 cans of spinach, drained
sprinkle of dried basil
sprinkle of garlic powder
salt and pepper

Mix all the ingredients together. Make sure the liquid from the spinach is completely drained. Lay the chicken breasts flat, spread a healthy amount of the ricotta mixture on top, roll gently, then seal it with a toothpick. Repeat the process for the remaining chicken breasts. Place each stuffed chicken on a pan, bake in a preheated oven, 365 degrees for 45 minutes.

You can also wrap the chicken with bacon before sealing it with a toothpick. I would've done it but I was out of bacon. Bummer. They were still good though :).
