ITALIAN STUFFED CHICKEN BREASTS
Another frequently-made recipe from my days of cooking for a caterer. A really elegant dish that can be easily doubled for a dinner party. Savory chicken breasts stuffed with spinach-ricotta-pesto-prosciutto, and topped with a light mushroom sauce.

I got this recipe from a book that was at the check-out line at the grocery store. I leaf through them while waiting and if there are more than four good-looking recipes, I buy it. If not, I leave it. They can get expensive. Anyway, this is a tasty one. Serve it with my Recipe #227176 and it makes a great meal.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Combine 1 1/2 cup Italian cheese blend, garlic, basil, and oregano in a bowl. Combine Parmesan cheese and bread crumbs in a separate bowl.
- Cut one side of each chicken breast through the middle horizontally to within one-half inch of the other side. Open the two sides and spread them out like an open book. Lightly pound chicken to flatten. Fill each chicken breast with Italian cheese blend mixture and close like a book over the filling. Coat the outside of each chicken breast with egg; press bread crumb mixture over egg layer to coat each chicken breast. Arrange chicken breasts in a 9x13-inch baking dish.
- Bake in the preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 45 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Pour spaghetti sauce over cooked chicken; top with 1/4 cup Italian cheese blend. Bake until sauce is bubbling and cheese is melted, about 5 more minutes.

ITALIAN STUFFED CHICKEN
I created this one evening when I wanted to make a romantic meal. It's not very difficult to make but the stuffed chicken is beautiful. Serve on a bed of spinach or with a lovely green salad on the side.

Steps:
- Heat a little olive oil in a frying pan and sauté half of the chopped onion until soft.
- Add the spinach and continue cooking over a medium heat, adding a touch of water if needed, until the spinach is wilted.
- Take off the heat and let cool for a moment, before stirring in just over half of the mozzarella cheese.
- Cool until you can comfortably handle the mixture.
- Meanwhile, cut a slit lengthways along each chicken breast but be careful not to cut them in half.
- You want to end up with a little pouch in each one.
- When the spinach mixture is cool, stuff each breast with as much of the mixture as you can.
- You may not use it all.
- Cover the chicken with some cling film and set in the fridge while you make the sauce.
- Heat some more olive oil in a saucepan and sauté the remaining onion and jalapeno pepper until soft.
- Add the chopped tomatoes, water, stock cube and oregano.
- Simmer for about 10 minutes until the flavours blend and the mixture starts to thicken.
- Stir in the tomato paste, season with salt and pepper and let simmer a few minutes more until you have a fairly thick sauce.
- Preheat the oven to 180 C or 350 degrees F.
- Put enough sauce in a casserole dish to cover the bottom.
- Lay in the chicken breasts and then cover with the remaining sauce.
- Bake for 40-45 minutes, then pull out of the oven briefly to scatter the remaining mozarella cheese on top.
- Turn on the grill and cook just until the cheese is bubbling and browned.

ITALIAN STUFFED CHICKEN BREAST
This chicken stuffed with ham, red onion, parmesan and rosemary is a savory reminder of all things good in the world. With a hint of balsamic vinegar and a lovely rosemary wine sauce it's an impressive dish for your guests and a wonderful addition to your cookbook. *Update: I noted off of one of the reviews that I had originally written to stuff the chicken after it had been cooked. I've corrected the instructions now.

FLORENTINE STUFFED CHICKEN
Bone-in chicken breasts stuffed with spinach, cheese and onion and baked until tender. This is a simple recipe that I cooked up myself. It is, however, based on some pretty standard Greek/Italian dishes. Everyone loves this and it can be wonderful for company - even people who don't usually like spinach find that they like this dish! Serve with your favorite shaped pasta, if desired.

ITALIAN HAM-AND-CHEESE STUFFED CHICKEN BREASTS
This is a VERY EASY dish to make, I promise. Very elegant dish, as well, and with only about 250 calories per serving. I HIGHLY recommend using good quality prosciutto and Muenster for this. For novice cooks, if you freeze the chicken breasts for a bit before slicing them, they are MUCH easier to slice.
