I made a Weight Watchers recipe - Stuffed Chicken Breast. I've always been petrified to try this recipe because I detest touching raw meat and thought it sounded insanely hard to make. I happened to have feta on hand, so decided to give it a whirl. I'm glad I did! This may be one of my new favorite recipes to cook - right up there with the numerous Taco Soup variations.
Here's the recipe:
Stuffed Chicken Breast Serves 4 @ 4 points (I halved it- only made 2 chicken boobs)
- 1 tsp olive oil, divided
- 1 small onion(s), chopped
- 10 oz spinach, fresh
- 1 tsp lemon zest
- 1/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled
- 1 tsp table salt, divided
- 1/2 tsp black pepper, divided
- 1 pound uncooked boneless, skinless chicken breast, four 4 oz cutlets
In a large nonstick skillet heat 1 teaspoon oil; sauté onion until golden, 5 minutes.Wilt spinach (steam spinach or heat damp spinach over medium heat in nonstick pan); stir in zest, feta, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Set aside.
Divide spinach mixture between cutlets. Roll up and secure with toothpicks. Sprinkle with remaining salt and pepper. In same skillet, heat remaining oil over medium-high heat. Cook chicken, turning occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through, about 10 minutes. Remove toothpicks.
That's all it takes! You really couldn't ask for a better recipe: easy to make, pretty to look at, tasty to eat and low in points. Woo hoo!

Sounds good. I'm impressed you had time and energy to do this after jazzercise.
Seriously - it took about 6 minutes to prepare and 10 to cook.
Couldn't have been easier! I watched Gossip Girl while I made it...
