INGREDIENTS
5 ounces Chicken Breast
1 ounce Part-Skim Mozzarella Cheese
1 ounce Turkey Pepperoni
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
1/2 cup Cooked Quinoa
1 cup Fresh Spinach
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Using a sharp knife, carefully butterfly the chicken breast to create a pocket for filling.
Layer the inside of the chicken with the part-skim mozzarella cheese and turkey pepperoni slices.
Season the stuffed chicken with salt, pepper, and your favorite Italian herbs.
Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken on both sides until golden, about 2-3 minutes per side.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
While the chicken bakes, gently warm the cooked quinoa and toss in fresh spinach to slightly wilt it.
Remove the chicken from the oven, allow it to rest for a few minutes, then slice and serve atop the quinoa-spinach mix.
