Spinach Stuffed Chicken

Ok so this is kind of delicious. The original recipe was much simpler, but with a little extra work, you get a lot more taste! There are two ways to prepare this dish, one goes over great with the men, one the ladies seem to enjoy more..

Spinach Stuffed Chicken Breasts

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup mayonnaise
• 1 (10 ounce) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained
• 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
• 2 cloves garlic, chopped
• lemon juice
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
  
• oregano
  
• 4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
• 4 slices bacon

Directions

1. Marinate chicken in mixture of lemon juice, minced garlic and oregano. Refrigerate overnight.
   
2. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
3. In a medium bowl, mix mayonnaise, spinach, feta cheese, and garlic until well blended. Set aside.
4. Carefully butterfly chicken breasts, making sure not to cut all the way through. Spoon spinach mixture into chicken breasts. Here's where it becomes Choose Your Own Adventure. You can either wrap each with a piece of bacon, and secure with a toothpick. Place in shallow baking dish. Cover. This goes over VERY well with the guys. Or, you can place the stuffed chicken in a glass dish, and smother in marinara sauce. Kids and ladies seem to love this one more.
5. Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour, or until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
6. Enjoy!!
