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. 🙂
This was absolutely delicious! Simple but very flavorful. My husband and I don’t cook the chicken as a standalone entree very often (usually in stir fry, pasta, etc.) but we will definitely be adding this to our favorites and making regularly. Thanks for the recipe!
Ingredients:
cooking spray
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1/2 onion, chopped
4 ounces chopped cooked ham
4 ounces fresh spinach
4 ounces cream cheese
4 ounces shredded Swiss cheese
4 large boneless chicken breast fillets
4 ounces Italian-style salad dressing
8 toothpicks, or as needed
1/2 sleeve round buttery crackers, crushed fine
4 ounces shredded Cheddar cheese
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a baking pan with cooking spray.
Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add oil, garlic, and onion. Cook and stir until tender, 1 to 3 minutes. Add ham and spinach leaves and stir until wilted, about 1 minute. Chop slightly in the skillet. Remove from heat and stir in cream cheese until melted and mixture has cooled a bit. Add Swiss cheese and set filling aside.
Cut each chicken breast to 1/2 inch thickness and place in a bowl. Pour Italian dressing over chicken. Place 1 chicken breast on a cutting board and pound thinner. Add about 1/4 of the filling and fold chicken over to form a packet. Seal using toothpicks and place in the prepared baking pan. Repeat with remaining chicken breasts and filling.
Combine crushed crackers and Cheddar cheese together in a bowl. Cover filled chicken breasts with cracker mixture, mashing them into the breasts.
