Spinach Stuffed Chicken Breasts



There is more to this recipe then the title implies. Not only are you cooking your meat but you are also preparing a delicious sauce to serve with it at the same time. The secret ingredient in this sauce is sure to surprise you. What is it you may wonder? For those of you who have cooked from this cookbook before you may not be surprised because you are getting used to using food in strange and unexpected ways but for others it may come as a complete surprise. The secret ingredient is oatmeal. It's great because it not only adds some texture, it fills you up at the same time.

When I was doing my groceries the store was out of my favorite brand of diced tomatoes so instead of substituting for one with way to much salt content I used whole canned tomatoes instead. Click here for my post about tinned tomatoes and a great brand I found with way less salt.

SERVED WITH: We ate this meal with broccoli and some brown rice to soak up the yummy sauce

COOKING TIPS: Make sure to really pound your chicken flat. I found out the hard way that I didn't get the meat thin enough. When it came time to roll up the chicken with the spinach stuffing inside it just wouldn't roll. So I did a amateurish job and stuck a ton of tooth picks into each one to hold them together while they cooked.

RATING: 8. This is a heart warming dish for a cold winter's night
