Cheesy Spinach Hasselback Chicken
Cheesy Spinach Hasselback Chicken
4 cups fresh spinach
3/4 cup ricotta cheese
1/2 teaspoon Cajun seasoning
6 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
To taste salt and pepper
3/4 cup cheddar cheese, grated
2 tablespoons olive oil
Preheat your oven to 350ยบ F, and grease a large baking sheet.
Heat olive oil in a large pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Add spinach to pan and cook, stirring continuously until spinach is wilted. Remove pan from heat.
Stir ricotta and Cajun seasoning into the wilted spinach.
Place chicken breasts on greased baking sheet. Use a sharp knife to slice several vertical slits about three-quarters of the way through each chicken breast. Make the slits about 1/2 inch apart.
Stuff the slits with spinach ricotta mixture. Season chicken generously with salt and pepper, then sprinkle shredded cheddar evenly over them.
Place baking sheet in oven and bake for 25 minutes. Finish the chicken by browning the cheese underneath a hot broiler for 3-5 minutes.
Remove from oven, serve hot and enjoy!
