In this easy recipe, chicken breasts are rolled with spinach, onions, garlic, and feta, and then simmered in a tasty tomato-based sauce. Low carb and gluten free, this is a tasty and comforting meal your family is sure to love.

Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 yellow onion
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1 cup frozen spinach
  • ½ a jalapeño
  • 4 chicken breasts
  • 3 tbsp feta
  • 2 cups Little Italy in the Bronx Sauce
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Parsley + feta to garnish

Instructions

  • Peel and chop the onion as well as the garlic cloves. Divide the chopped onion and garlic into two piles. 
  • Add 1 tbsp olive oil to a pan over medium heat and add one of the piles of onion and garlic to it and sauté about 5 minutes.
  • Add the frozen spinach and turn the heat up a bit so liquid in spinach evaporates out.
  • Sauté spinach with onions and garlic about 5-7 minutes until spinach is heated through. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Take mixture off the heat and set aside to get to room temperature.
  • Meanwhile, lay out the 4 chicken breasts and pound them out until they are flattened. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Then, add a layer of the spinach mixture on each and top that with a little bit of the feta. Do this with all the chicken breasts.
  • Then, gently roll the chicken breasts up and secure with a toothpick.
  • Using the same pan that the spinach was sautéed in, add the remaining tbsp of olive oil to the pan and place it over a stovetop set to medium heat and place the rolled and secured chicken breasts into the pan.
  • Let chicken sauté for about 5 minutes or until browned.
  • Flip rolled stuffed chicken over so the browned side is facing up.
  • Add in the remaining pile of onions and garlic and the Little Italy in the Bronx Sauce. Cover and let simmer for 15 minutes. 
  • When time is up, remove the pan from heat. Spoon a bit of the sauce over the chicken. Sprinkle on some parsley and more feta.
  • Serve as is or with The Rustik Oven Bread.
