Feta and Spinach Stuffed Chicken with Bacon

 






Feta and Spinach Stuffed Chicken with Bacon
Ingredients:
6 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
6-12 slices bacon (depending on the size of your breasts, I used 2 on each serving)
1 cup crumbled feta cheese
10 ounces chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed to remove as much liquid as possible
1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup minced white onion
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Dash of salt, use restraint as feta and bacon will add some salt (optional)
Toothpicks to secure bacon, if needed

Method:
1: Preheat oven to 375*F.

2: Prepare chicken breasts by cutting a pocket into one side of each, using care not to cut all the way through.

3: In a bowl, combine feta, spinach, mayonnaise, garlic, onion, pepper and optional salt.

4: Stuff each chicken breast with feta mixture.

5: Carefully wrap each breast with 1-2 slices of bacon, securing with toothpicks, if needed.

6: Place each stuffed breast, pocket side up, on a lipped baking tray or casserole dish. (Ungreased is fine, as the bacon will lubricate the dish itself.)

7: Bake for approximately 1 hour, until the juices run clear and the bacon is crisp. Check with a meat thermometer inserted into the center, once it reaches 165*F the chicken is done.

Makes 6 servings.

Peanut Butter Banana Bread

Ingredients: 4 very ripe bananas, mashed 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter 3/4 cup sugar 1 egg, beaten 1 teaspoon vanilla 1 teaspoon cinnamon 1 teaspoon baking soda Pinch of salt 1 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour Method: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Mash bananas in a large mixing bowl with a fork until fairly smooth. Add in the peanut butter, sugar, egg, and vanilla and combine well. Add in the cinnamon, baking soda and salt and mix again. Lastly add the flour, mix well. Pour the mixture into a buttered 4x8 inch loaf pan. Bake for about 1 hour. When a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean, the bread is done. Cool on a rack. Remove from pan and serve! Makes one loaf. Kitchen Notes: If you don't like peanut butter, you can make this into a more traditional banana bread by substituting 1/3 cup melted butter, margarine or applesauce (keeps the bread moist without the added fat) for the PB. Variations my family likes: 1/2 cup of shredded coconut. 3/
