Spinach-stuffed Chicken Breast

Spinach-stuffed chicken breast

Ingredients


4 pieces skinless, boneless chicken breast halves (pounded to 1/2 inch thick)
1/2 lb fresh spinach leaves
8 slices bacon

1 pinch ground black pepper
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 cup shredded pepperjack cheese
4 cloves garlic, minced

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375F (190C).
  2. Place spinach in a large glass bowl.  Heat in the microwave for 3 minutes, stirring every minute or so, or until wilted.  Stir in sour cream, pepperjack cheese and garlic.
  3. Lay the chicken breasts out on a clean surface.  Put some spinach mixture onto each one.  Roll up chicken to enclose the spinach.  Then wrap each chicken breast with two slices of bacon.  
  4. Secure with toothpicks, and arrange in a shallow baking dish.
  5. Bake uncovered for 35 minutes in the preheated oven.  Then increase heat to 425F (or 220C) and bake uncovered for additional 5-10 mins to brown the bacon.
