What's for dinner? Spinach and parmesan stuffed chicken



What's for dinner? Spinach and Parmesan stuffed chicken breast.

My hubby LOVES spinach so we use it often, fresh, frozen, he'll eat it!

Ingredients:
3 large chicken breast butterflied and pounded
1/4c olive oil
1tbsp garlic salt
1/2c chopped fresh parsley
2tbsp minced garlic
1tbsp lemon juice
2 tsp lemon zest
1 1/2tbsp chili powder
1tsp nutmeg
1box frozen spinach (10oz) thawed and drained or about 2 cups fresh
1 5oz bag Parmesan cheese shredded
approx. 2 tbsp salt

Below is a picture of the marinade. Mix the Olive oil, garlic salt, parsley, minced garlic, lemon juice, zest, chili powder, nutmeg together. Marinade for a couple hours if you can if not just rub into chicken well in the beginning of the cooking process.
 

Below is chicken butterflied and to the side is where I was starting the marinade. 

  After you cover the chicken in the marinade, lay the chicken with the cut side up and spread a thin layer of the cheese then place the spinach on top. Evenly sprinkle the salt on top of the spinach then top with the rest of the cheese and fold over pushing as much in between the two sides of chicken as you can. This wont be perfect, and it doesn't have to be. Bake at 375 for 45minutes.
ENJOY!
