CHICKEN BREAST STUFFED WITH SPINACH, BLUE CHEESE AND BACON image

Categories     Bacon     Cheese     Chicken

Number Of Ingredients 8

8 slices bacon
4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, pounded to 1/2-inch thickness
1 package (10 ounce) frozen chopped spinach, thawed and sqeezed dry
1 cup blue cheese, crumbled
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons olive oil

Steps:

  • Cook bacon until crisp. I prefer to use an indoor grill. Bacon can also be cooked in a skillet over medium-high heat, or the microwave at about 1 minute per slice. Drain on paper towels, and set aside.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • In a medium bowl, stir together the spinach and blue cheese. Crumble in the bacon, and stir to distribute.
  • Lay the chicken breast halves out on a clean surface, and distribute the spinach mixture evenly onto the centers of them. Fold the chicken over the filling, and secure with toothpicks.
  • Stir together the flour, salt and pepper on a dinner plate. Roll the chicken in the flour to coat.
  • Heat the oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Quickly brown each piece of chicken on top and bottom. Remove to a lightly greased baking dish, and cover with a lid or aluminum foil.
  • Bake for 30 minutes in the preheated oven, until chicken juices run clear, and filling is hot.
  • Note: Aluminum foil can be used to keep food moist, cook it evenly, and make clean-up easier.

I'm not a big fan of blue cheese, but I decided to give this recipe a try anyway. I'm so glad I did! The blue cheese flavor was not overpowering at all, and it actually complemented the chicken and spinach very well. I will definitely be making this
