Categories     Chicken Breast

Time 1h10m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

6 large chicken breast halves, boneless and skinless
fresh ground black pepper
1 (10 ounce) frozen chopped spinach, thawed, divided (1/2 for stuffing and 1/2 for sauce below)
1 egg, slightly beaten
6 prosciutto or 6 cooked ham, thinly sliced
2 -3 ounces monterey jack pepper cheese, cut into six 2x1/2-inch sticks
2 tablespoons butter, melted
2 tablespoons butter
1 garlic clove, minced
0.5 (10 ounce) frozen chopped spinach (the 1/2 left over from recipe above)
2 tablespoons whipping cream
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  • Place a chicken breast half, boned side up, between 2 pieces of plastic wrap. Working from the center to the edges, pound lightly with the flat side of a meat mallet to 1/8-inch thickness. Remove plastic wrap. Sprinkle chicken lightly with black pepper. Repeat with remaining chicken.
  • Firmly squeeze spinach until well drained and practically dry. (I wrap in clean kitchen towel and wring moisture out.) In a small bowl, combine 1/2 of the spinach and egg. (Save remaining chopped spinach for Sautéed Spinach Cream Sauce.)
  • For each roll, spoon about 2 tablespoons of the spinach mixture onto each chicken piece, spreading evenly over chicken. Top with a slice of prosciutto or . Place a stick of cheese near an edge. Fold in sides; roll up, starting from edge with cheese, into a spiral, pressing the edges to seal. Secure with wooden picks. Place rolls, seam side down, in a 13x9x2-inch (3-quart) baking dish. Drizzle with butter.
  • Bake, uncovered, in a preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink (170 degrees). Remove toothpicks. Meanwhile, prepare Spinach Cream Sauce.
  • To serve, slice each chicken roll. Transfer chicken to a dinner plate. Top with cream sauce.
  • Sautéed Spinach Cream Sauce: In a medium saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add garlic and cook 1 minute; add the remaining chopped spinach. Cook and stir for 5 minutes. Add whipping cream, kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. Cook and stir for 30 seconds or until heated through. Serve over chicken.

Tips:

  • Prep ahead: If you're short on time, prep the spinach cream sauce and chicken breasts beforehand and store them in the refrigerator. When you're ready to cook, simply assemble the dish and bake.
  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh spinach, cream, and chicken will give you the best flavor results.
  • Don't overcook the chicken: Chicken breasts can easily become dry and tough, so be careful not to overcook them. Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) before removing from the oven.
  • Serve immediately: This dish is best served hot and fresh from the oven. The cream sauce will thicken as it cools, so it's important to enjoy it while it's still warm and creamy.

Conclusion:

Chicken baked in a spinach cream sauce is an easy and delicious weeknight meal. With its creamy, flavorful sauce, tender chicken, and cheesy topping, it's sure to be a hit with the whole family. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy dinner, give this recipe a try!
