Grilled Chicken with Spinach & Melted Mozzarella
· (3 large) chicken breasts sliced in half lengthwise to make 6 cutlets
· salt and pepper to taste
· 1 tsp olive oil
· 3 cloves garlic, crushed
9 or 10 oz frozen spinach, drained
· 3 oz fresh mozzarella
· 1 roasted red pepper, sliced in strips
· olive oil spray
For this recipe I used fresh pearl mozzarella (i think they almost look like mini marshmallows!)
I could only finf a box of 9 oz. frozen spinach, so either works. I also bought the glass containor of roasted red peppers for convenience.
Directions:
Preheat oven to 400°.
Preheat oven to 400°.
Season chicken with salt and pepper, grill outside Cook chicken on the grill until no longer pink, careful not to overcook or you’ll have dry chicken.
Meanwhile, heat a sauté pan on medium heat. Add oil and garlic, sauté a few seconds, add spinach, salt and pepper. Cook
a few minutes until heated through.
When chicken is done, lay on a baking sheet lined with foil or parchment for easy clean-up. Divide spinach evenly between the 6 pieces and place on top.
Top each with half oz mozzarella, then slices of roasted pepper and bake until melted, about 6-8 minutes.
Yum
