Tasty Tuesday #2
Hey guys! I'm back again with another Tasty Tuesday! Last week was the first week I did this and I really enjoyed it! I hope you did too!
Most of my recipes are Weight Watcher friendly, but don't let that scare
you away. They are actually really good. I've also found some great
websites like Skinny Kitchen and Skinny Taste that I use a lot too. Most
of my recipes have some kick to them, so if you are not a big spicy
person, adjust the spices to better fit your tastes. OH. And all of the
meals I cook are really easy to prepare. I'm not big on difficult meals.
Today I am featuring:
Spinach and Feta Stuffed Chicken
Ingredients:
-cooking spray
-1 tsp olive oil
-1/2 medium onion, chopped
-2 cloves garlic, minced
-10 oz. package of frozen chopped spinach, thawed and juice squeezed out
-1/4 cup parsley, chopped
-1/2 cup crumbled Feta cheese
-1/3 cup fat free Ricotta
-1/4 tsp salt and pepper, to taste
-8 thin skinless chicken breast cutlets
-1 large egg
-1 tbsp. water
-1/2 cup seasoned breadcrumbs
Directions:
1) Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a large baking sheet with cooking spray.
2) Heat the olive oil on medium in skillet. Add onions and garlic and sauté about 1 minute. Add spinach, parsley, salt and pepper and cook another minute or until heated through.
3) Remove from heat and mix in feta and ricotta cheese.
4) Place about 1/4 cup spinach mixture in the center of chicken and roll, then lay the chicken seam side down and set aside. Do for remaining pieces of chicken.
5) Whisk egg and water together in a small bowl with a pinch of salt. Place the breadcrumbs in another bowl.
6) Dip the chicken rolls in the egg wash, then into the breadcrumbs and place seam side down on the baking sheet. Repeat with remaining chicken and spinach mixture.
7) Bake about 25 minutes or until cooked through.
Notes:
*I used Lipton's Rice Sides and made the Herb and Butter flavored Rice as a side. You can vary it up with a salad, quinoa, or just more veggies if you'd rather.
*Next time I will pound out the chicken cutlets to make thinner and bigger, so spinach mixture stays nice and snug in the middle.
*I REALLY liked this one! It was my first time making it and I was really pleased with how it came out.

ReplyDeleteYUM! That's a great mix of some of my fav things. I'd say it tastes fab but being honest, it's probably too fiddly for me to make. I like things that I can get on the table FAST! :O
ReplyDeleteLeave me some comment love! And I will get around to commenting back!
My blog is an award-free blog, however, as I just do not have the time to follow-up.
