FLORENTINE STUFFED CHICKEN
Bone-in chicken breasts stuffed with spinach, cheese and onion and baked until tender. This is a simple recipe that I cooked up myself. It is, however, based on some pretty standard Greek/Italian dishes. Everyone loves this and it can be wonderful for company - even people who don't usually like spinach find that they like this dish! Serve with your favorite shaped pasta, if desired.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- In a medium bowl, combine the spinach, Parmesan cheese and onion and mix thoroughly. Stuff the cavity of each chicken breast with 1/4 of the mixture. (NOTE: Bone-in split breasts usually have a little cavity; if one is not naturally present, use a sharp knife to make a slit in the side of the breast.)
- Lay stuffed breasts in a 9x13 inch baking dish, and cover with the sauce.
- Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for about 35 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through and tender; sprinkle with mozzarella cheese and bake another 5 minutes, until cheese is melted.

Tips:
- Choose the right chicken breasts: Use boneless, skinless chicken breasts that are of a uniform size and thickness. This will help them cook evenly.
- Pound the chicken breasts: Pounding the chicken breasts helps to tenderize them and make them more receptive to the marinade.
- Use a flavorful marinade: The marinade is what gives the chicken its flavor, so make sure to use a flavorful one. The recipe in the article uses a mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, and thyme.
- Marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes: The longer you marinate the chicken, the more flavorful it will be. However, don't marinate it for more than 24 hours, or the chicken will start to break down.
- Cook the chicken over medium heat: Cooking the chicken over medium heat helps to prevent it from drying out.
- Don't overcook the chicken: Overcooked chicken is dry and tough. Cook the chicken until it is cooked through but still juicy. The internal temperature of the chicken should be 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Let the chicken rest before serving: Letting the chicken rest before serving allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, making it more tender and flavorful.
Conclusion:
Florentine stuffed chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight meal. The chicken breasts are stuffed with a flavorful mixture of spinach, artichokes, Parmesan cheese, and bread crumbs, and then baked until golden brown. The result is a moist and flavorful chicken dish that is sure to please everyone at the table.
