Spinach Stuffed Chicken Breasts ?

Spinach Stuffed Chicken Breasts ?



Is anyone else completely freaked out by the monster-sized chicken breasts you seen in the stores these days?  Pick up a pack of those guys from the store, and three ( because there’s always three in a pack for some reason ) manage to weigh a pound and a half to two pounds. It’s nuts!  Even when I get the fancy $9-per-pound hormone-free cage-free massaged-since-birth ocean-front free-roaming Prius-driving chicken breasts, they are STILL pretty huge.
Oh, and still three to a pack.
Which is funny, because every recipe ever written for boneless skinless chicken breasts seems to call for four. I’m fighting back!  My Easy, Basic Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts recipe calls for three, because I’m not in cahoots with the chicken people, and I know how chicken comes packed.
I’m going to do my best to make sure that all of my future chicken recipes ( including this one ) is in a multiple of 3 as well — it just makes things easier for everyone, and is how I tend to really cook.
So here, we have another chicken recipe using the ubiquitous boneless, skinless chicken breast, and it calls for only three pieces of chicken! 

 Usually, half of one of these guys is more than enough to fill me up, particularly when crammed full of delicious, tangy feta and cooked spinach.  So don’t let this recipe fool you — three stuffed boneless, skinless chicken breasts is enough to feed six, even though I’ve listed the servings as “3”, as most people would be hesitant to serve a half breast to someone at a dinner party, and I don’t want to ruin anyone’s evening.

Update: a TON of people have asked me where I got the sheet pans in the photos — they are from Amazon, one of the cheapest pan sets I’ve ever purchased, and I LOVE them.  You can check them out here: Nordic Ware Sheet Pan Set, and if you buy them, I’ll get a little tiny ( pennies, y’all ) kickback that helps keep my blog up and running at NO extra cost to you.
