Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 6 to 8 chicken breasts
  • 1 tablespoon of olive oil
  • 1/4 cup of shredded Ivanhoe smoked cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup of Gay Lea cottage cheese pick a light variation if counting calories and fat.
  • 1 teaspoon of salt free seasoning
  • 1 cup of spinach uncooked

Method
 

  1. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Heat over to 350 degrees.
  3. Using a sharp knife cut a sideways hole in each of the chicken breasts just big enough to be a pocket for the stuffing.
  4. In a Bowl combine the cottage cheese and the grated smoked cheddar. Mix together with spinach and coat.
  5. Use a spoon to stuff each of the chicken breasts with about a tablespoon full of the mixture.
  6. Coat each chicken breast with olive oil.
  7. Top each of the stuffed chicken breasts with a salt free spice
  8. Bake in the oven for about 45 minutes to an hour depending on the size of the chicken.
  9. Keep an eye on them so they do not dry out or stick.
  10. Remove and serve with salad and a side dish. (Lately we air fry potatoes and serve with many dishes.)
