GOUDA SPINACH HASSELBACK CHICKEN
This super simple Hasselback Chicken is made flavorful with Gouda cheese and fresh baby spinach. The spinach helps keep the chicken moist while the Gouda and the herbs infuse flavor. I love to serve this dish with Green Beans with Toasted Almonds and Garlic and Roasted Rosemary Potatoes.

Tips:
- Use a sharp knife to score the chicken deeply. This will help the marinade and seasonings penetrate the chicken and ensure even cooking.
- Don't overcrowd the chicken in the skillet. If you do, the chicken will not cook evenly.
- Cook the chicken over medium heat. This will help prevent the chicken from drying out.
- Baste the chicken with the marinade or a mixture of melted butter and herbs throughout the cooking process. This will help keep the chicken moist and flavorful.
- Serve the chicken immediately with your favorite sides. Some good options include roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice.
Conclusion:
This Gouda Spinach Hasselback Chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The chicken is moist and flavorful, and the cheese and spinach filling is a delicious complement. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
