SPINACH-STUFFED CHICKEN BREASTS
Stuffed chicken breasts are a great way to make your chicken dinner fun again. Served on a bed of rice or with a side of vegetables, they make an easy weeknight dinner that comes together in a flash. These Spinach-Stuffed Chicken Breasts don't skimp on flavor - they're also filled with bacon, onion, and cheese, and seasoned with garlic, thyme and pepper. The best part? They're ready to eat in under an hour.

Steps:
- In 12-inch skillet, cook bacon over medium heat 5 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until crisp. Remove bacon from skillet, reserving fat in skillet. Drain bacon on paper towels; crumble and set aside.
- In same skillet, cook onion and garlic in bacon fat over medium-high heat 2 to 3 minutes, stirring frequently, until onion is tender. Remove skillet from heat; set aside. In medium bowl, mix spinach, egg, thyme and cheese. Stir in onion mixture and bacon.
- In thick side of each chicken breast, cut 3-inch-long pocket to within 1/4 inch of opposite side of breast. Spoon about 1/4 cup spinach mixture into pocket in each chicken breast. Sprinkle pepper over chicken.
- In same skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add chicken; cook uncovered 8 to 10 minutes, turning once, until light brown on all sides. Reduce heat to low. Cover; cook 10 to 20 minutes longer, turning if necessary, until chicken is no longer pink in center (170°F). Serve immediately with rice.
