Spinach & Ricotta Stuffed Chicken Breast Fillets

INGREDIENTS
  • 6 tablespoons of olive oil
  • 1 small onion diced
  • 250-grams spinach fresh or frozen
  • 125 grams ricotta crumbled
  • 75 grams feta crumbled
  • 6 chicken breast fillets 
  • 4 garlic cloves peeled
  • 4 sprigs thyme
  • 4 sage leaves
  • 40 grams of butter
  • ¼ teaspoon chili flakes
  • Juice of ½ lemon
  • salt and pepper to season
  • 2-3 tablespoons thickened cream

​​​
Instructions:
Step 1. 
Preheat oven to 190°
To make the filling, heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a frying pan over medium heat and sauté the onion for 3-5 minutes until softened.  Add the spinach and continue to sauté until spinach is wilted. Remove from the heat. Cool.
Once cooled, add the crumbled cheese to the spinach mixture.  Season with pepper (Taste before salting as the feta can be salty)
Step 2. 
Preheat oven to 190°
Using the tip of the knife, cut into the thickest side of each fillet to create a pocket.  The tip here is to only cut ¾ of the way through. Use your fingers to widen the pocket to avoid cutting through the chicken breast.  Repeat with the remaining chicken breasts.  Season with salt and pepper.
Step 3. 
Divide and stuff the spinach mixture in each chicken pocket.
Step 4. 
In a large frying pan over medium, add the garlic and the remaining 4 tablespoons of oil and cook for 1-2 minutes over medium heat.  Now add the thyme and sage and the chicken. Cook chicken to seal for approximately 3-5 minutes on each side.
Add the butter and chili. Season with salt and pepper.  Place in the preheated oven for 5-10 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through.
Remove from the oven.  Squeeze with lemon juice and pour the cream into the sizzling pan. Cover and set aside for approximately 5 minutes before serving.
