CREAM CHEESE SPINACH CHICKEN RECIPES

Steps:

• In a bowl, combine paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, and salt. Mix together thoroughly and set aside.
• To make the spinach mixture, combine cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, mayonnaise and spinach in another bowl. Mix thoroughly.
• Slice a pocket into the side of each chicken breast meat.
• Spoon the spinach mixture into the breast pockets and spread it evenly.
• Prepare the casserole dish by drizzling olive oil and sprinkling some of the spice mixture in it.
• Place the chicken in the dish and add more spice mixture and olive oil over the chicken.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Then bake uncovered for 25 minutes.
• Place the stuffed chicken breast in a plate, use the drippings as the sauce.
• Garnish with parsley, then serve and enjoy!

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a baking pan with cooking spray.
• Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add oil, garlic, and onion. Cook and stir until tender, 1 to 3 minutes. Add ham and spinach leaves and stir until wilted, about 1 minute. Chop slightly in the skillet. Remove from heat and stir in cream cheese until melted and mixture has cooled a bit. Add Swiss cheese and set filling aside.
• Cut each chicken breast to 1/2 inch thickness and place in a bowl. Pour Italian dressing over chicken. Place 1 chicken breast on a cutting board and pound thinner. Add about 1/4 of the filling and fold chicken over to form a packet. Seal using toothpicks and place in the prepared baking pan. Repeat with remaining chicken breasts and filling.
• Combine crushed crackers and Cheddar cheese together in a bowl. Cover filled chicken breasts with cracker mixture, mashing them into the breasts.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes. Remove from oven and let sit for 10 minutes before transferring from the pan to a serving platter to allow filling to set up. Remove toothpicks before serving.
