I have always wanted to try to make a stuffed chicken breast recipe, but it’s been something I have always been kinda afraid of. I mean, I am the type of cook that can literally burn water – I couldn’t possibly not mess up stuffing a chicken breast. But, the best way to learn something is to just do it. So I did. And for a first try this Mozzarella and Spinach Stuffed Chicken Breast didn’t turn out half shabby. Not only did it look good and taste great, it was also so much easier than I could have ever imagined.
As a kid my Grandma used to always tell me, we eat with our eyes before we even decide to taste our food. That a plate of food needed to be filled with color.
This dish is definitely filled with color!
The best part though? My kids asked for seconds.
My kids who aren’t big meat eaters asked for seconds.
Not to mention the whole spinach part. Yeah. My kids ate seconds on meat and spinach. Definitely a win.
