Chicken Stuffed with Smoked Mozzarella
Ingredients
  • 6 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves (about 1-1/2 pounds total)
  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • 1/4 cup  finely chopped shallots or onions
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 2 teaspoons  olive oil
  • 1/2 10 ounce package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and well drained
  • 3 tablespoons  pine nuts or walnuts, toasted
  • 3/4 cup  shredded smoked mozarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup  seasoned fine dry bread crumbs
  • 1/4 cup  grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon  olive oil
Directions

1. Place 1 chicken breast half between 2 pieces of plastic wrap. Pound lightly with the flat side of a meat mallet into a rectangle about 1/8 inch thick. Remove plastic wrap. Season with salt and pepper. Repeat process with all chicken breasts.

2. For filling, in a medium skillet cook shallots or onions and garlic in the 2 teaspoons hot oil until tender. Remove from heat; stir in spinach, nuts, and smoked mozarella.

3. In a shallow bowl combine bread crumbs and Parmesan cheese.

4. To fill each roll, place 2 to 3 tablespoons of filling in the center of each flattened chicken piece. Fold in bottom and sides and roll up; secure with wooden toothpicks.

5. Lightly brush each roll with the 1 tablespoon olive oil; coat with bread crumb mixture. Place rolls, seam side down, in a shallow baking pan. Bake, uncovered, in a 400 degrees F oven about 25 minutes or until chicken is tender and no longer pink. Remove toothpicks before serving. Makes 6 servings.
