Feta-Stuffed Chicken

 

INGREDIENTS

• 4 (4 ounce) skinned, boned chicken breast halves
• 1/4 cup dry bread crumbs
• 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese with basil and tomato
• Vegetable cooking spray
• 1 1/2 teaspoons margarine, melted
• 3 cups torn spinach
• 1/2 cup chopped fresh basil
• 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
• 1 teaspoon olive oil
• 1/8 teaspoon pepper

Directions

1. Place each chicken breast half between 2 sheets of heavy-duty plastic wrap; flatten to 1/4-inch thickness, using a meat mallet or rolling pin. Dredge chicken in breadcrumbs. Spoon 1 tablespoon cheese onto each piece of chicken; fold chicken in half.
2. Place folded breast halves in an 8-inch square baking dish coated with cooking spray. Drizzle melted margarine over chicken. Bake, uncovered, at 400 degrees for 25 minutes or until chicken is done.
3. Combine spinach and basil in a bowl; drizzle with vinegar and oil. Sprinkle pepper over salad; toss well. Serve chicken over salad.

----I also add some cherry tomatoes for color :)
