Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 1/2 cups chopped baby spinach (about 8 ounces)
1/4 cup crumbled low-fat feta cheese
3 skinless, boneless chicken breasts (8 to 10 ounces each), trimmed
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
2 tablespoons finely chopped sun-dried tomatoes
8 ounces ditalini (about 1 3/4 cups)
1 tablespoon chopped fresh mint

Steps:

  • Combine 2 cups spinach, the feta and 3 tablespoons water in a bowl. Insert a paring knife into the thickest part of each chicken breast, cutting along the side to make a deep 2-inch-wide pocket. Stuff the spinach mixture into the pockets.
  • Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil. Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Add to the skillet, rounded-side down, and cook until browned, about 3 minutes per side. Add the chicken broth, vinegar and sun-dried tomatoes. Partially cover and cook until the chicken is just cooked through, about 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the ditalini and cook as the label directs. Put the remaining 1 1/2 cups spinach in a colander; drain the ditalini over the spinach to wilt it. Return to the pot.
  • Remove the chicken to a cutting board and slice. Add the pan sauce to the ditalini along with the mint and 1/4 teaspoon salt; toss. Serve with the chicken.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover spinach. The chicken is a great vehicle for the spinach stuffing.
