Greek Spinach-Stuffed Chicken
Greek Spinach-Stuffed Chicken

Variety is essential for me. I get bored easily, which is why I enjoy taking on the challenge of learning how to make different styles of meals. How could this recipe not be a regular in our rotation?

Ingredients

3 1/2 cups chopped baby spinach (about 8 ounces)

1/4 cup crumbled low-fat feta cheese

3 skinless, boneless chicken breasts (8 to 10 ounces each), trimmed

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper

1 cup low-sodium chicken broth

2 tablespoons white wine vinegar

2 tablespoons finely chopped sun-dried tomatoes

8 ounces ditalini (about 1 3/4 cups)

1 tablespoon chopped fresh mint

Directions

Combine 2 cups spinach, the feta, and 3 tablespoons water in a bowl. Insert a paring knife into the thickest part of each chicken breast, cutting along the side to make a deep 2-inch-wide pocket. Stuff the spinach mixture into the pockets.

Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil. Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Add to the skillet, rounded-side down, and cook until browned, about 3 minutes per side. Add the chicken broth, vinegar, and sun-dried tomatoes. Partially cover and cook until the chicken is just cooked through about 15 minutes.

Meanwhile, bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the ditalini and cook as the label directs. Put the remaining 1 1/2 cups spinach in a colander; drain the ditalini over the spinach to wilt it. Return to the pot.

Remove the chicken to a cutting board and slice. Add the pan sauce to the ditalini along with the mint and 1/4 teaspoon salt; toss. Serve with the chicken.
