ingredients
6 boneless skinless chicken breasts
8 ounces fresh baby spinach, chopped
8 ounces feta cheese, crumbled
8 oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes
2 tablespoons fresh basil, sliced
8 ounces crimini mushrooms, sliced
1 red bell pepper, seeded & chopped
1 purple onion, chopped
6 cloves garlic, chopped
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
salt and pepper, to taste
directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Slice each chicken breast partway in half with a very sharp knife. Be careful not to cut all the way through. Open chicken breast (sort of like a book) and flatten slightly with a mallet. Meat should be about 1/2 an inch thick. Sprinkle both sides with salt and pepper to taste.
In large frying pan, heat olive oil. Add onion, pepper, and garlic. Saute three to five minutes, then add the mushrooms and saute until veggies are tender.
Stir in chopped spinach and basil. Cover until spinach wilts. Remove from heat. Stir in the feta. Add salt and pepper (to taste).
Place some of cheese mixture on each chicken breast. Neatly roll the breast into a tube. Secure with toothpicks or string (string is generally more secure).
Bake (don't allow them to touch) in a greased casserole dish for 20-25 minutes. Slice before serving.

This iconic whiskey is a "Jack of all trades" when it comes to cooking. Toss it in some pasta, as a savory dipping sauce, and even bake it into something sweet.

I made this for my family and the in-laws and everyone loved it. I was skeptical at first but it really was quite good. Everyone was impressed.

This was a great recipe! It takes about 1/2 hour to prep. I used herb scissors to cut the spinach and basil and purchased extra spinach and used it as a base layer for the chicken. I also poured the oil from the sun-dried tomatoes over the chicken and draped aluminum foil over it to bake. It was delicious and my guests wanted the recipe! Huge hit!!!
