Spinach Stuffed Chicken Breast

Spinach Stuffed Chicken Breast 

Usually stuffed chicken breasts are grilled or oven baked. Since I do not have a grill or an oven, I would be frying the chicken. It's not the best way to do it, but it carries a different taste none the less.


Ingredients:
  • 2 piece of Chicken Breast
  • 200gm of Spinach
  • 75gm Grated Cheese (Mix Cheese)
  •  ½ cube Chicken Stock
  • 1 Egg
  • All Purpose Flour (for frying)
  • Oil
  • Pepper
  • Toothpick


Directions:
  • Cook the washed spinach in a pan until it wilts (do not use oil, the water from the washing should be adequate).
  • Add chicken stock and pepper and mix with the spinach.
  • Take out spinach from the pan and drain excess water. Put aside.
  • Slit the chicken breast lengthwise and form a pocket. Do not slit all the way through
  • Fill chicken breast pocket with the cooked spinach. Leave space for grated cheese.
  • Once the pocket is ¾ filled with spinach, fill the pocket with grated cheese until it's full.
  • Compact the pocket and close the opening with toothpicks. Keep aside.
  • Break the egg and separate the yolk from the egg white.
  • Prepare two plates. One with egg white and the other with all purpose flour.
  • Heat adequate oil in frying pan until it's ready to fry.
  • Dip the chicken breast in egg white. Make sure it is fully covered in egg white.
  • Next dip the chicken breast into the flour. Make sure it is fully covered with flour.
  • Repeat the process with second piece of chicken breast.
  • Fry chicken breast in pre-heated oil until it turns golder brown and is fully cooked.
  • Once done, drain away excess oil. Remember to remove the toothpicks.
