Ingredients
for 2 servings
-
¼ cup fresh spinach (50 g) -
¼ cup ricotta cheese (50 g) - 2 chicken breasts
-
¼ cup cheddar cheese (20 g) -
1 teaspoon paprika - salt, to taste
- pepper, to taste
Preparation
- Cook the spinach on a medium heat in a splash of oil for 3-5 minutes until it is slightly wilted.
- Stir in the ricotta and cook for a further 30-60 seconds. Allow to cool.
- Cut slits into the chicken breasts about 1cm (½ inch) apart but don’t cut all the way through - about 75% of the way down is what you should aim for.
- Stuff all of the spinach and ricotta mixture into the slits.
- Season the chicken with salt and pepper.
- Grate the cheddar and sprinkle it generously on top.
- Shake the ground paprika over the chicken to add some colour and flavour.
- Bake in the centre of a pre-heated oven for 20-25 minutes 200°C (400°F, Gas Mark 6) until the cheese has melted and the juices are clear.
- Enjoy!

Instead of the ricotta cheese I used cream cheese only because I happen to have the cream cheese on hand and it was delicious..

Ok so I try to make stuff exactly how it's listed so I can give accurate feedback... but I'm not a HUGE fan of ricotta so I switched it out for cream cheese and added a little Parmesan in with the filling. I also did mozzarella instead of cheddar. It was AMAZING. I could eat this every day.
