Goat Cheese and Spinach Stuffed Chicken image

This spinach-stuffed chicken breast recipe is special to me because it has so much flavor, yet not too many calories. I love Italian food, but most of the time it is too heavy. This is a healthy twist on an Italian dish! -Nicole Stevens, Mount Pleasant, South Carolina

CREAMED SPINACH WITH GRUYERE



Creamed Spinach with Gruyere image

Provided by Anne Burrell

Categories     side-dish

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

Extra-virgin olive oil, for the pan
4 cloves garlic, smashed
Crushed red pepper
2 1/2 pounds baby spinach
Kosher salt
1 shallot, diced
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cup milk
1/4 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup grated Gruyere cheese
1/2 cup grated Parmigiano, plus more for garnish

Steps:

  • Coat a large, straight-sided saute pan with olive oil and heat over medium heat. Add 2 cloves of garlic and a pinch of crushed red pepper and cook until the garlic is golden, about 1 minute. Remove the garlic and discard.
  • Add half of the spinach to the pan, season with salt and saute until gently wilted. Remove the spinach from the pan to a towel-lined colander set inside a bowl to let the spinach drain and cool. Repeat the process with the remaining garlic and spinach and another pinch of crushed red pepper. Squeeze the towel to remove most of the liquid from the spinach.
  • Remove any liquid from the bottom of the saute pan and coat lightly with olive oil. Heat the oil over medium heat, add the shallots and season with salt and a pinch of crushed red pepper. Saute until the shallots are translucent and very aromatic, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the butter and, when melted, stir in the flour. Cook until it is the texture of wet sand, 5 to 6 minutes. Whisk in the milk and heavy cream. Taste for seasoning and season with salt, if needed, (it will). Bring the milk and heavy cream to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 5 to 6 minutes, stirring occasionally so the milk doesn't scorch on the bottom. Stir in the Gruyere and Parmigiano until melted. Add the reserved spinach and stir to combine. Taste and adjust the seasoning, if needed. Transfer to a serving bowl, top with a sprinkle of Parmigiano and serve.

CHEESE, SPINACH & MUSHROOM STUFFED CHICKEN



Cheese, spinach & mushroom stuffed chicken image

Amp up this dinner party classic by stuffing three types of cheese, spinach and mushroom into the chicken and wrap with prosciutto. It's modern retro

Provided by John Torode

Categories     Dinner, Main course

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 10

40g dried porcini mushrooms
3 tbsp olive oil
1 shallot , finely chopped
1 garlic clove , finely chopped
100g baby leaf spinach
150g ricotta
50g firm mozzarella , coarsely grated
20g parmesan , finely grated
4 skinless chicken breasts
4 slices prosciutto

Steps:

  • Boil the kettle, tip the mushrooms into a small bowl, pour over boiling water to just cover, then leave to soak for 15 mins. Drain and squeeze out the mushrooms (save and freeze the liquid to make a base for a gravy) and roughly chop.
  • Heat the oil in a frying pan and gently cook the shallots and garlic for 3 mins. Turn up the heat, throw in the mushrooms and cook for a few mins more. Add the spinach, turn the heat up to high and cook until wilted and all the liquid has evaporated. Tip into a bowl and leave to cool. Beat in the cheeses and season with loads of pepper and a little salt. Set aside.
  • Take the chicken breasts and remove the small fillet from the back. Cut a slit into the side of each chicken breast then stuff each one with a quarter of the spinach mixture, closing it with the cut-off fillet. Carefully wrap each stuffed chicken breast in a slice of prosciutto and chill until needed. Can be prepared up to a day ahead.
  • To cook, heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Line up the chicken on a baking tray and roast for 20-25 mins until the prosciutto is frazzled at the edges, the cheese is oozing out and the chicken is cooked through.
