Delicious Stuffed Chicken Recipe for my Dom

I made this recipe up for dinner for my family, and my Dom loved it. However, I loved it, too, and I'm much pickier. This is homey comfort food. I'll take that over fake-pretty salad greens any day.

You're going to start with the basic instructions for the Hasselback Chicken, found on YouTube or at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-l7j5yyJ3PE, including the cooking times and temps, but the stuffing you make is different from the rather bland ricotta-and-spinach the video shows.

Cooking is an art, not a science, so feel it, don't measure it. You're going to need:

• cooking oil (I know any self-respecting recipe sharer should insist on EVOO, but I'll admit I'm still out and I made mine with vegetable oil. It tasted just fine.
• cream cheese (I used 6 oz. for 2 big chicken breasts)
• bag of fresh spinach
• minced garlic
• chopped onion
• chopped mushrooms
• parmesan cheese
• handful of cheddar cheese
• large boneless chicken breasts

1. Mix softened bream cheese, parmesan cheese, cheddar cheese, and salt/pepper, if desired.
2. Heat oil. Sautee garlic and onions until brown; add mushrooms and spinach and sautee until brown and wilted, respectively.
3. Add cream cheese mixture to skillet and stir until melted.
4. Stuff into and on top of chicken. Garnish with salt. If desired, add pepper, parsley, basil, or cheese. I do not recommend paprika as called for with the video recipe.

Follow video cooking instructions. Like eating homemade mushroom soup on top of chicken. Yummm. I served it with a fruit salad and fruit dip. Enjoy!
