INGREDIENTS:
4 slices bacon, chopped
1 medium onion, chopped (1/2 cup)
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 box (9 oz) Green Giant® frozen spinach, thawed, squeezed to drain
1 egg, slightly beaten
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
1 cup shredded Italian cheese blend (4 oz)
6 boneless skinless chicken breasts (4 oz each)
1/2 teaspoon pepper
2 tablespoons olive or vegetable oil
Hot cooked rice or rice pilaf, if desired
DIRECTIONS:
1. In 12-inch skillet, cook bacon over medium heat 5 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until crisp. Remove bacon from skillet, reserving fat in skillet. Drain bacon on paper towels; crumble and set aside.
2. In same skillet, cook onion and garlic in bacon fat over
medium-high heat 2 to 3 minutes, stirring frequently, until onion is
tender. Remove skillet from heat; set aside. In medium bowl, mix
spinach, egg, thyme and cheese. Stir in onion mixture and bacon.
3. In thick side of each chicken breast, cut 3-inch-long pocket to
within 1/4 inch of opposite side of breast. Spoon about 1/4 cup
spinach mixture into pocket in each chicken breast. Sprinkle pepper
over chicken.
4. In same skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add chicken; cook uncovered 8 to 10 minutes, turning once, until light brown on all sides. Reduce heat to low. Cover; cook 10 to 20 minutes longer, turning if necessary, until chicken is no longer pink in center (170°F). Serve immediately with rice.
