Healthy Chicken Recipes Healthy Chicken Main Dish Recipes Healthy Stuffed Chicken Recipes Healthy Stuffed Chicken Breast Recipes Spinach & Feta Stuffed Chicken Breasts 5.0 (1) 1 Review We combine feta, a salty, tangy cheese, with baby spinach for a bonus serving of greens built into a stuffed chicken breast. Try using mozzarella or provolone cheese for a more mild, kid-friendly dish. If you have leftover spinach, use it for a simple side salad. If you don't want to bother stuffing the chicken cutlets, turn these ingredients into a simple salad with a drizzle of olive oil and balsamic vinegar.
