Stuffed Chicken Breast with Spinach, Cheese and Sun-Dried Tomatoes
Can’t believe it’s going to be July this week! We are six months into this crazy year and things don’t seem to be getting any less crazy. One thing that remains constant is that we all need to eat and we might as well make something tasty.
Last night, I went live on Instagram for the first time in a while because I thought it would be fun to make this very delicious stuffed chicken. Please forgive my not-so-great picture as I was busy taking video and totally forgot to photograph anything until the end. If you watch the video, you can see exactly how this dish is supposed to look when it’s done and if you joined me live or have already watched the video, keep scrolling for the recipe.
This chicken is so flavorful and looks way more complicated than it actually is. The whole thing comes together…cooking time and all in just over 30 minutes and you can easily make the filling ahead but make sure to bring it to room temperature before stuffing it into the chicken! I served green beans as a side last night and it was just enough as these chicken breasts are very rich.
As always, if you make this…PLEASE TAKE A PICTURE and tag me on Instagram!
Using a cast iron skillet for this recipe makes it so much easier because cast iron easily goes from stovetop to oven and you don’t need to transfer the chicken to a baking sheet…plus you’ll loose all the delicious pan juices that accumulate while you’re searing the chicken.
I use my cast iron skillets for most everything but eggs and love cooking with cast iron. In case you didn’t know, here are some of the benefits of cooking with cast iron!
Cast iron is tough. ...
Once cast iron is hot, it stays hot. ...
Cast iron is great for keeping food warm since it holds heat for a considerable length of time. ...
Every time you cook in your cast iron pans you are making them better by seasoning them.
During the cooking process a small amount of iron is absorbed into the foods.
