SCRUMPTIOUS STUFFED CHICKEN BREASTS

Scrumptious Stuffed Chicken Breasts image

I love to experiment in the kitchen! I watch several cooking shows and often come up with an idea of my own from a recipe I see in a show. This stuffed one I came up with one evening while deciding what to do with the chicken breasts I had thawed out. It was a hit in our household, and I've made it again since I came up with it! My husband loves this wrapped in bacon, I like it better without.

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

1 package (10 ounces) frozen chopped spinach (cooked)
5 tablespoons butter (divided)
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon seasoned salt
1 1/2 cups milk
1/2 cup fresh grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup heavy cream, light cream, or half-and-half
Salt and freshly ground black pepper (to taste)
2 cups cooked diced chicken
1 cup fine soft breadcrumbs

Steps:

Heat the oven to 350 F. Lightly butter a 2-quart baking dish.
Drain the cooked spinach in a colander, squeezing or pressing to get as much of the water out as possible. Spread the spinach in the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
In a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, melt 3 tablespoons of butter. Add the flour and seasoned salt to the butter and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes. Gradually add the milk and cook, stirring constantly, until thickened. Stir in the Parmesan cheese and cream. Cook, stirring until the cheese has melted. Taste and add salt and pepper, as needed. Add the chicken to the sauce and stir to blend.
Pour the chicken and sauce mixture over the spinach layer in the baking dish.
Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter in the microwave or in a saucepan on the stovetop. Toss the butter with the soft breadcrumbs. Spread the crumbs over the casserole.
Bake the casserole for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the topping is nicely browned. To brown the topping a little more, turn the broiler on and broil for a minute or two before you take it out of the oven.
