INGREDIENTS
1 piece (6 oz) Chicken Breast (Skinless)
1 cup loosely packed Fresh Spinach
1 tbsp Fresh Basil, chopped
1 tbsp Fresh Thyme, chopped
1 small White Potato
1/4 cup Lowfat Milk
1/4 cup Low Sodium Chicken Broth
1 tsp Olive Oil
Pinch of Salt
Pinch of Black Pepper
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Using a sharp knife, carefully create a pocket in the chicken breast.
Mix the fresh spinach, chopped basil, and chopped thyme in a small bowl. Season lightly with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Stuff the herb mixture into the pocket of the chicken breast and secure it with toothpicks if needed.
Season the outside of the chicken with a pinch of salt and black pepper.
Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken breast for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake the chicken for 15-18 minutes until cooked through.
Meanwhile, peel and chop the white potato into chunks. Boil in lightly salted water until tender, about 10-12 minutes.
Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add lowfat milk and mash until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Remove the chicken from the oven and transfer it to a plate. Place the skillet with the pan drippings back on the stove over low heat.
Add the low sodium chicken broth to the skillet, scraping up any browned bits, and simmer for 2-3 minutes to create a light pan sauce.
Slice the herb-stuffed chicken and serve alongside the creamy mashed potatoes, drizzling the savory pan sauce on top. Enjoy!
