Recipe ingredients
- 4 large half-breasts of boneless chicken
- 3 Tbsp. (45 mL) vegetable oil* and/or butter*
- 1/2 cup (125 mL) chicken broth*
- Stuffing
- 1/2 cup (125 mL) cottage cheese or ricotta cheese
- 1/2 cup (125 mL) low fat Swiss or mozzarella cheese, grated
- 1 clove of garlic, minced (optional)
- 1/2 tsp. (2 mL) parsley, chopped
- 8 whole spinach leaves
Preparation
Mix together the cheese, garlic and parsley.
Place the chicken breasts between two sheets of waxed paper and, using a mallet or a rolling-pin, flatten them until they are about 1/2 inch (1 cm) thick. Spread about 2 Tbsp. (30 mL) of stuffing over 2 spinach leaves placed on each chicken breast. Roll the breasts and fasten using tooth-picks.
Refrigerate for 15 minutes.
In a non-stick skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the stuffed breasts and cook, turning them over once in a while, for about 3 minutes or until golden.
Add the broth and reduce over medium-low heat. Cover the pan and cook for about 20 minutes, or until the juices flowing from the meat are clear or when a meat thermometer indicates an internal temperature of 165ºF (74ºC).
