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.
- Spinach stuffed chicken breast is ready can be served with Tomato Salsa.
