Spinach and Sun Dried Tomato Stuffed Chicken

by aimee @ shugarysweets on January 2, 2012

Are your teeth hurting? Too much candy, cookies and other sweets over the past couple weeks? Ouch. Mine too. Not to worry though, I’ve got the perfect thing for you…Spinach and Sun Dried Tomato Stuffed Chicken.

Not to mention a little cheese. Serve this with some roasted broccoli and zucchini and wild rice and you have one delicious dinner.

Don’t worry about me though. I’ll have some sweets up here soon enough! I mean, really, I can’t go too long without being in my kitchen baking up a storm!

Using a sharp knife, cut a pocket into each chicken breast. Lay chicken in a 13x9 baking dish. Evenly stuff breasts with spinach. Then stuff the breasts with the tomatoes, sprinkling any extras on top of the breasts.
Sprinkle chicken with both cheeses, stuffing a little of each inside the pockets.

This looks so delicious. I cannot wait to give it a try. Come visit. We have a wonderful low fat blue cheese dip to use on veges or crackers. Delicious.

Sugared out yes, but honestly that is just how I like it. But unfortunately my pants don’t like it that much, so it is time to restrain my sweet tooth…for just a little while. This chicken sounds delish!!!!

Okay, can I just say…THIS LOOKS AMAZING! I just made some slow-roasted tomatoes, and I’m thinking that this is their fate. YUM!
