Sooo good! and easy to make. I saw it on the Nate Berkus show, but i added my own twists to it - mainly the cilantro. Worth a try!
Maria's Healthy Stuffed Chicken
Serves: 2
Ingredients
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, flattened
Stuffing
¾ pound low-fat feta cheese, crumbled
½ cup packed, chopped baby spinach
½ cup fresh chopped cilantro
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
Sauce
2 cups spaghetti sauce
1 diced mango, peeled and seeded (dice into small pieces)
1/2 seeded and diced jalapeno pepper ( very small pieces)
handful or cilantro
1 tablespoon Parmesan
Salt and pepper, to taste
Directions
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
Mix all the stuffing ingredients in a bowl. Spoon out half of the mix onto each flattened chicken breast. Wrap the chicken around the stuffing and place in a small baking pan brushed with oil. Bake for 35 minutes.
While the chicken is baking, prepare the sauce: combine all the ingredients in a pot over medium heat. Bring just to a boil, then turn heat down to low and simmer.
Spoon the sauce over the chicken to serve.
* These measurements are not exact but they're about what i did. feel free mix it up how you would like!
wow, looks yummy!!! I just found out that you can freeze cilantro! I know in the states it's cheap, but over here it's like $2 for something that lasts a week tops. So we wash it, chop it, dry it out, and then freeze it so we can have it any time. Awesome. We have frozen mango too haha so we'll have to try this one!!
ReplyDeleteWow,ya it is so much cheaper here. I should freeze mine too though because it goes bad so fast. Thanks for the info. Hope you guys enjoy :)
