Garlic Chicken Cushions image

The chicken is stuffed with creamy ricotta, spinach, and garlic and then gently cooked in a rich tomato sauce. This is a really easy chicken dish that looks impressive and tastes outstanding. This is a suitable dish to make ahead of time. You could even add Parmesan Cheese and Artichoke Slices to the stuffing for an even tastier Chicken!

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 chicken breasts, with bone and skin
1/2 cup frozen spinach, Thawed
1/2 cup ricotta cheese
3 garlic cloves, Crushed
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 onion, Chopped
1 red bell pepper, Sliced
14 ounces chopped tomatoes
6 tablespoons wine or 6 tablespoons chicken stock
10 stuffed olives, Sliced

4 cups egg noodles, cooked and buttered to serve (or Other Pasta)

Steps:

  • Make a slit between the skin and meat on one side of each chicken breast.
  • Put the spinach into a strainer and press out the water with a spoon and mix with the ricotta, half the garlic, and seasoning.
  • Spoon the spinach mixture under the skin of each chicken breast, then secure the edge of the skin with toothpicks.
  • Heat the oil in a skillet, add the onion, and fry for a minute, stirring.
  • Add the remaining garlic and red bell pepper and cook for 2 minutes.
  • Stir in the tomatoes, wine or stock, olives and seasoning (Set the chicken aside and chill if preparing in advance).
  • Bring the sauce to a boil, pour into a shallow ovenproof dish and arrange the chicken breasts on top in a single layer.
  • Cook uncovered in a preheated oven 400 degrees for 35 minutes, until the chicken is golden and cooked through.
  • Spoon a little of the sauce over the chicken breasts then transfer to plates and serve with pasta.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I made it with some leftover grilled chicken and it was delicious. The sauce is really versatile and can be used on other types of meat or vegetables.

This dish is a bit too spicy for my taste. I would recommend using less chili pepper flakes. Other than that, it was a good recipe and the chicken was cooked perfectly.

This dish was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would have preferred it with less honey. Other than that, it was a good recipe and the chicken was cooked perfectly.

This dish was a disappointment. The chicken was dry and tough, and the sauce was bland. I followed the recipe exactly, but something must have gone wrong. I won't be making this again.
