* Chicken Breasts Stuffed with Spinach and Fetta Cheese


Ingredients

3 chicken boneless skinless breasts cut in half
400 gm frozen spinach
1/2 cup fetta cheese
3 gloves of garlic, chopped
1 cup chicken stock
1/2 cup milk
1/4 cup cream
2 tbsp flour
Nutmeg
Butter & oil
Salt & black pepper


Directions


Prepare your stuffing but mixing the cheese with the spinach adding the garlic and seasoning with black pepper and nutmeg.

Bring your six pieces of chicken and with a very sharp small knife make a cut in the middle along the breasts to make something like a pocket in the chicken pieces and fill it with your stuffing making sure you leave two tbsp of the stuffing to be added later to the gravy. Close the pocket with a tooth pick or maybe two. Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt, pepper and nutmeg.

In a pan add butter and some oil and saute your chicken, keep turning till both sides are brown and caramelized. Remove chicken from the pan into a baking dish and add some of the oil and butter left in the pan to it. Bake in the over till chicken is cooked through. Remove baking dish from the oven and remove chicken from the baking dish.

To prepare the gravy, on the stove put the same baking dish adding to the left juices the flour and let it cook a little. Add milk and chicken stock and bring to a boil then add the cream and the remaining stuffing.Whisk on the heat for 1 minute and remove from heat. Add the chicken breasts to your serving dish and cover with the gravy.
