Stuffed Chicken Breasts
1 (20 ounce) skinless boneless chicken breast
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 cup finely chopped mushrooms
1/2 cup cooked spinach, thoroughly drained
and squeezed dry, chopped
1 garlic clove, minced
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1 1/2 ounces smoked mozzarella cheese, thinly sliced
1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth
1 1/2 cups stewed tomatoes
1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil leaves or 1/2 teaspoon dried
Heat oven to 375 degrees F. Spray an 8-inch square baking pan with nonstick
cooking spray.
Place chicken breast, skinned-side down, between two sheets of plastic wrap.
With meat mallet, pound chicken lightly to an even 1/4-inch thickness. Set chicken
aside.
In medium skillet, heat oil; add mushrooms. Cook over medium heat, stirring
constantly, 5 minutes, until all liquid has evaporated. Add spinach and garlic;
cook, stirring constantly, 2 minutes longer. Stir in salt and crushed red pepper.
Arrange half of the mushroom mixture lengthwise along center of chicken breast;
top evenly with cheese, the remaining mushroom mixture. Fold long sides of chicken
over stuffing, overlapping slightly. Secure with kitchen string.
Place stuffed chicken breast in prepared baking pan, seam-side down; add 1/4
cup of the chicken broth. Bake, covered, 30 minutes, basting once, until chicken
is cooked through and juices run clear when pierced with a fork.
While chicken is baking, in blender or food processor, combine tomatoes and
the remaining 1/4 cup chicken broth; puree until smooth. Transfer tomato mixture
to small saucepan; cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, 5 minutes, until
heated. Stir in basil; set aside and keep warm.
Let chicken breast stand 10 minutes. Carefully remove string, then slice into
equal pieces. Serve with warm tomato mixture
