Spinach Feta Onion Chicken recipe!

I love sharing recipes with friends. And I also love throwing ingredients together myself and try to create something myself, and prove to my husband we can eat decently healthy and it still be delish!!! As a recovering chubby 5 foot 2 lady with 36D boobs, maintaing weight and health is def a priority! Enjoy :)

"Spinach and Feta Stuffed Chicken"
Ingredients:


  • 1 tablespoon olive oil, divided




  • 1 medium onion, chopped




  • 10 ounces spinach, fresh




  • 1 teaspoon lemon, zest of




  • 1/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled




  • 1 teaspoon table salt, divided




  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, divided




  • 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast




  • Directions:In a large nonstick skillet heat 1 teaspoon oil; sauté onion until golden, 5 minutes.
    Wilt spinach (steam spinach or heat damp spinach over medium heat in nonstick pan); stir in zest, feta, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
    Set aside.
    Divide spinach mixture between chicken breasts

    Roll up and secure with toothpicks.
    Sprinkle with remaining salt and pepper.
    In same skillet, heat remaining oil over medium-high heat.
    Cook chicken, turning occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through, about 10 minutes.
    Remove toothpicks.

    ** I added bertolli's ravioli as a side, a cup serving each! I sauteed garlic, sundried tomatoes, capers and kalamata olives.  You can saute this all in extra virgin olive oil, but often sundried tomatoes come in jars filled with heavy oils. I try to blot them off as much as possible.  Toss the sauce with the ravioli and enjoy as a side next to the stuffed chicken :))
    **Remember it's really helpful to have all your ingredients prepapred ahead of time all your dishes out so you're not scrambling. Because when you're cooking chicken or sauteing vegetables, time can be of the essence :)  This was a weight watchers recipe! Use low fat feta if you want to decrease the cals :)
