    For this easy recipe, all you have to do is mix the spinach, cream cheese, parmesan, garlic, and chives together. Slice the chicken down the side to butterfly it.  Put ¼ of the mixture in each piece of chicken.  Finish with wrapping each breast in bacon, which is the best part!

    Also, you must know it is very easy to prepare but looks like you slaved over a fancy looking dish.  I got several “ooh’s and ahh’s”.   Think of making this the next time you are having dinner guests. 🙂

    Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

    Place each chicken breast on a flat surface. With your hand placed flat on each piece, cut about ¾ quarter of the way through.(careful not to cut all the way through)

    Then turn the temperature up to 400 degrees F (or on low broil) and cook for about 15 more minutes to get the bacon nice and crispy.

    Cook for 30-40 minutes.

    What to serve with Spinach Stuffed Chicken?

    I served our stuffed chicken breasts along with simple roasted potatoes and green peas with sautéed onions.

    I have also served it with mashed cauliflower or butternut squash with roasted veggies too.

        Oh absolutely! I would sauté it a bag of baby spinach in a tad of olive oil until it’s wilted. It would be perfect!
