CHICKEN ROCKEFELLER
This is a great chicken recipe using a whole chicken, butterflied. I'm a big fan of "whole chicken" recipes, because I can usually get these for a bargain price. This recipe combines the humble chicken with another of my favorites, spinach.

Steps:
- Drain spinach; press between paper towels to remove excess moisture. Combine the spinach and the next 5 ingredients. Stir well, and set aside.
- Remove the giblets and neck from the chicken. Reserve for other uses. Place the chicken on a work surface, breast side up. Cut completely through the breast bone. Turn the chicken over; flatten the chicken back, breaking the breast and rib bones. (I can usually get the butcher at my grocery store to do this for me!).
- Turn the chicken breast side up. Starting at the neck cavity, loosen the skin from the breast and drumsticks by inserting one hand, palm side down. Gently push your hand beneath the skin against the meat to loosen the skin, being careful not to tear the skin. Spoon the spinach mixture into the pockets beneath the skin.
- Place the chicken, breast side up, in a roasting pan. Combine the olive oil, oregano, rosemary, and thyme; brush over the chicken.
- Bake, uncovered at 375 degrees for 1 hour or until the chicken is done.

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients, especially the chicken and the spinach. Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make a big difference in the final dish.
- Don't overcook the chicken. Chicken breasts can easily become dry and tough if they are cooked for too long. Cook them just until they are cooked through, about 6-8 minutes per side.
- Wilt the spinach before adding it to the filling. This will help to remove excess moisture and prevent the filling from becoming watery.
- Use a good quality white wine. A dry white wine will add a subtle flavor to the dish without overpowering the other ingredients.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with different types of cheese. Gruyère, Parmesan, and Swiss are all good options, but you could also try using a different type of cheese, such as cheddar or mozzarella.
- Serve Chicken Rockefeller immediately after it is cooked. This dish is best enjoyed hot, so don't let it sit around for too long before serving.
