Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 chicken breasts
- 1/2 cup romesco sauce
- 1 cup spinach fresh
- 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese or 2 1/4" slices of whole mozzarella
- 1/2 cup parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400.
- Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray (I use avocado oil spray) but you can drizzle with olive oil if you don't have any.
- Slice the chicken breasts down the center (leaving the end) so it's butterflied (think of it as being like an open book). Season with sea salt and pepper.
- Divide the romesco sauce between the two chicken breasts and spread evenly. Then do the same with the spinach and cheese.
- Fold the chicken half over and seal with toothpicks (you don't have to but it saves a bit of a mess).
- Spread any extra romesco sauce over the chicken breasts (or add more for extra flavor). Top with parmesan cheese (and option extra mozzarella).
- Bake for 35-40 minutes or until chicken is 175 if using a meat thermometer.
