Ingredients

Chicken breasts, with or without skin and bone, although for this I prefer them to

have both.

For each chicken breast:

¼ c frozen spinach, thawed and squeezed dry

½ clove garlic

¼ c fresh bread crumbs

small pinch nutmeg

1 T chopped fresh mint

2 T minced green onion or leek or onion, microwaved 1 m with 1 t butter

2 T feta cheese, crumbled

optional: 1 T minced ham or chopped mortadella; 1 T grated Parmesan

So, for four chicken breasts, you’d use 1 c each spinach & breadcrumbs, 2 cloves garlic, ¼ chopped fresh mint, generous pinch nutmeg, 1/3 to ½ c feta cheese plus the optional ingredients.

Directions

Ingredients must be fresh, or I can’t be held responsible for how the recipe turns out.

With your hands, gently combine all ingredients so that you have a moist loose mixture.

Cut pockets into the chicken breasts—DO NOT cut all the way through!

Loosen the skin.

Into each pocket, loosely pack ¼ c of the mixture.

Gently spread the same amount under the skin.

Use yet another ¼ c to cover any exposed chicken meat; if you are using skinned breasts, use that ¼ c on top. Pack this covering firmly.

Bake at 325° for 45 m, or until juices barely run clear, then at 350 for 10 m. Don’t worry about the skin; if it’s critical for you to have crisp skin, use convection oven for the last 10 m, or broil it or something.

Let rest 10 m and serve. Also excellent the next day sliced in a sandwich.

Not a big fan of mint, so I tried it with only half of recipe amount...delicious, but still too minty!!! Even so, I love this recipe...it's a keeper! Would be good without mint altogether:)
