Mediterranean Stuffed Chicken Breast- I have not made this recipe since 2008.
It was my first year out of college and one of my very first private dinners. A friend wanted to do something different for his anniversary dinner and was hesitant when he saw this spinach and feta stuffed chicken breast on the menu because he did not eat spinach, EVER. After the dinner, he raved about it because I got him to finally eat spinach for the first time ever. I’ve updated the ingredients a bit to maximize flavor.
