Stuffed Chicken Breasts

Now that I sit down and look at this picture, I'm not sure it looks all that appetizing, but these were actually pretty tasty!  We stuff chicken breasts with all kinds of things pretty often though, so this post is more about an easy idea than the exact recipe.  Since this was a while ago, I'm ad-libbing it here anyway :)

Ingredients:

• 4 chicken breasts
• 2 cups fresh spinach
• 1/2 cup feta
• 1/4 sun dried tomatoes
• olive oil, salt & pepper
• optional, Italian bread crumbs 
• optional, bacon :)

Preparation:

Pre-heat oven to 375.  Chop spinach and sun dried tomatoes and combine with feta in a bowl.  Butterfly chicken breasts, being careful not to cut all the way through.  (If you do, no biggie, it will still taste good.) Spoon spinach/tomato/feta mixture into the chicken pockets.  *Optional, wrap the chicken breasts in bacon.  Drizzle olive oil and rub all over chicken.  Season well with salt & pepper.  *Optional, sprinkle Italian bread crumbs atop for some fun crunch.  Place in a baking dish and cover.  Cook for ~45 mins or until the chicken is completely cooked through.

Try stuffing with roasted red peppers, olives, sauteed onion, garlic, ham, swiss, apples, more bacon... the options are endless.
