I got this recipe from my friend, Tara Smith, who calls this Easy Chicken Cordon Blue. Because I'm so particular about things sometimes, I couldn't stick with that name because this recipe is so different from traditional Chicken Cordon Blue. It is delicious, though!
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts seasoned with salt and pepper
2 handfuls chopped spinach (fresh is best)
zest of one lemon
4-5 ounces of blue cheese crumbles
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
4 slices uncooked bacon
Insert a knife into the fat end of each seasoned chicken breast and twist to make a "pocket" for the stuffing. Set aside. In a bowl, mix together spinach, lemon zest, blue cheese, and garlic.
Shove spinach stuffing into the "pocket" you made in each chicken breast. Wrap each breast with a piece of bacon and place on a cookie sheet. Bake in oven at 425 degrees for 20-30 minutes, or as long as it takes for the bacon to crisp and the chicken to cook through.
