Spinach and Artichoke stuffed Chicken

I LOVE spinach dip. Ask my mom - everytime I come home I ALWAYS ask her to make me some.

I was craving some spinach dip so I thought why not stuff spinach dip in some chicken. So this dish is inspired by spinach dip.

I did not go off a recipe just instinct.





Ingredients: 
1 boneless chicken breast
1/2 cup of spinach
1/2 of artichoke hearts (I used two from a can).
1/2 of shredded mixed or mozzarella cheese
1/2 of ricotta cheese
pinch of salt
pinch of garlic powder

Cooking Instructions:
1. Start by cutting up the spinach and the artichokes. It is up to you with how small you want the pieces to be.

**Alternatively, you could put all of this in the food processor along with the ricotta and shredded cheese.

2. Add the ricotta cheese and shredded cheese to the spinach and artichokes.

3. Grab the chicken breast and slice a slit in the chicken. Ideally, in the middle of the chicken and as far back as you can go.

4. Put the spinach and artichoke mixture into the chicken.





5. Then place chicken in a hot pan until the chicken browns on each side.





6. Then put the chicken in the oven to finish for about 10 minutes on 350 degrees.

*** I had extra spinach and artichoke mixture so I put the mixture in the oven to cook with the chicken.




The result was tasty!!! It was creamy and delicious!
