Feta, Spinach, and Mushroom Stuffed Chicken Breast in a Red Pepper Sauce
- Number of Servings: 3
Ingredients
Chicken:1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts (3 breasts, typically)1 cup sliced portobella mushrooms1.5 cups fresh baby spinach1.5 oz Nikos crumbled feta cheeseSauce:1 LARGE red bell pepper, pre-roasted (or 2 smaller ones)1 ounce roasted almonds with sea salt (I use Blue Diamond)1 shallot2 cloves garlic.5 tsp smoked paprika1 tbs water
Preheat oven to 350
Butterfly your chicken breasts, taking care not to open them completely at the ends - you want a deep, horizontal pocket in each breast.
stuff each breast with .5 oz of feta, 1/2 cup of fresh spinach, and 1/3 cup of sliced portobella mushroom. Secure open ends with toothpicks.
To make the sauce:
Roughly chop the almonds
Toast the almonds in a large skillet, being very careful not to burn them - add paprika and cook 30 seconds more.
Transfer the almonds (set aside 1/2 tbs for garnish, if desired) and other sauce ingredients to a small food processer, pulse until blended.
Add the chicken breasts to a baking dish sprayed with Pam. Cover with sauce. Bake at 350 for 30 minutes, or until chicken is fully cooked (ovens vary). Garnish with remaining almonds. Serve immediately.
Serving Size: 3 servings - 1 chicken breast with 1/3 of the sauce
