Stuffed Chicken Breast

I have been on a health food kick for the past couple of weeks and for people that like to cook, making tasty, healthy meals can sometimes feel restrictive!!! Last night I did a little trial and I attempted to make a stuffed chicken breast. For many, a stuffed chicken breast is full of cheesy goodness and full of fat, but I was able to make this stuffed chicken breast tasty and full of flavor using very little cheese reducing the fat content.
Please try this and enjoy the results!!!

2 boneless skinless chicken breasts (butterflied)
2 tablespoons of grated Parmesan cheese
3/4 cup of ricotta cheese
1/2 medium onion
1 cup of brown mushrooms (sliced)
5 oz fresh spinach (rinsed)
Tony's Chachere seasoning to taste
2 teaspoons of Italian seasoning (no salt)
Olive oil to sauté

Season the butterflied chicken breast on both sides with Tony Chachere seasoning. On each chicken breast, sprinkle 1 tbsp of
Parm cheese. Sit chicken breast to the side. In a large skillet, sauté onions and mushrooms for 3 minutes, add spinach and continue to sauté for another 2 minutes. Transfer sautéed veggies to a bowl and add ricotta cheese and Italian seasoning. Mix well. Spoon mixture in the middle the chicken breast. Fold chicken breast and place on baking dish. Bake on 350 for about 30-40 minutes.

ENJOY!!!

PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK!!!!!
