Cottage Spinach Chicken
Cottage Spinach Chicken
Ingredients
- 1/2 onion (chopped)
- 2-3 cups of spinach (chopped)
- 4-6 chicken thighs
- 1 cup of cottage cheese
- 1/2 cup Mushrooms (chopped)
- 1 cup rice
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 14.5oz canned Carrots
Instructions
1. In a small skillet, saute chopped onion until tender. Add in chopped spinach and saute over medium heat until mostly wilted. Set aside to cool. Once cooled, mix with the cottage cheese. Set aside.
2. This dish can be made with thighs or chicken breasts. I like to spread out my chicken and pound it down if it is a little too thick to work with. Season the chicken with salt, pepper, and your favorite seasonings.
3. Divide the spinach cheese mixture between the chicken thighs and pinch the sides together to mostly close. I use a toothpick to hold the chicken together. I place the chicken in a greased casserole or baking dish. Bake in 350 degree oven for about 25-30 minutes (This will vary depending on the size of the chicken).
4. Saute mushrooms in a sauce pot until soft. Add in rice & favorite seasonings (I usually do a garlic and herb blend) and stir for about 1-2 minutes. Add in chicken broth and let come to a boil. Reduce heat and cover for 15-20 minutes.
5. Microwave carrots or sauté in a pan to warm them up. Serve with chicken and a side of rice!
