Ingredients
To make this dish, you’ll need the following ingredients:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup spinach
- 1/2 cup ricotta cheese
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup bread crumbs
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 large potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 1/2 cup milk
- 4 tablespoons butter
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Step 1: Make the stuffing
To make the stuffing for the chicken breasts, combine the spinach, ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese, bread crumbs, and beaten egg in a bowl. Mix well to combine.
Step 2: Stuff the chicken breasts
Using a sharp knife, cut a slit in each chicken breast to create a pocket. Stuff each breast with the spinach and cheese mixture.
Step 3: Cook the chicken breasts
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant. Add the stuffed chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for 6-8 minutes per side, or until the chicken is cooked through and golden brown.
Step 4: Make the garlic mashed potatoes
While the chicken is cooking, make the garlic mashed potatoes. Boil the cubed potatoes in a large pot of salted water until they are tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add the milk, butter, and minced garlic to the pot and mash the potatoes until they are smooth and creamy.
Step 5: Serve and enjoy!
Serve the stuffed chicken breasts with the garlic mashed potatoes on the side. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
