Garlic Chicken Cushions image

The chicken is stuffed with creamy ricotta, spinach, and garlic and then gently cooked in a rich tomato sauce. This is a really easy chicken dish that looks impressive and tastes outstanding. This is a suitable dish to make ahead of time. You could even add Parmesan Cheese and Artichoke Slices to the stuffing for an even tastier Chicken!

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 chicken breasts, with bone and skin
1/2 cup frozen spinach, Thawed
1/2 cup ricotta cheese
3 garlic cloves, Crushed
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 onion, Chopped

  • Put the spinach into a strainer and press out the water with a spoon and mix with the ricotta, half the garlic, and seasoning.

  • Heat the oil in a skillet, add the onion, and fry for a minute, stirring.
  • Add the remaining garlic and red bell pepper and cook for 2 minutes.

I would give this recipe 5 stars if the chicken hadn't come out a little dry. Other than that, it was delicious!

The Garlic Chicken Cushions were a bit bland for my taste, but the sauce was good. I think I would add more garlic and ginger next time.
