Once the stuffed chicken breasts are browned in a skillet, cooking them in microwave gets them done quickly. Be sure to check each piece of chicken-particularly those in the center of the baking dish-to be sure that each of them is cooked through. Ingredients:
6 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (4 ounces each) |
1/2 cup frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry |
5 ounces crumbled feta cheese, divided |
3 tablespoons king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1 teaspoon dried oregano |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon pepper |
1 tablespoon olive oil |
2 cans (14-1/2 ounces each) diced tomatoes with onions, undrained |
hot cooked pasta, optional |
Directions:
1. Flatten chicken to 1/4-in. thickness. Combine spinach and 1/2 cup feta cheese; spoon down the center of each chicken breast half. Fold chicken over filling and secure with toothpicks. Combine the flour, oregano, salt and pepper; rub over chicken.
2. In a large skillet, brown chicken in oil on all sides. Discard toothpicks. Place chicken in a greased shallow 3-qt. microwave-safe dish. Top with tomatoes and remaining feta cheese.
3. Cover and microwave on high for 18-20 minutes or until chicken juices run clear and cheese is melted. Serve over pasta if desired. Yield: 6 servings.
