Spinach and Cheese Chicken Foldovers
Prep: 5 Minutes - Cook: 25 Minutes - Easy - Serves 4
Proudly supported by

To thaw spinach, place in a shallow, microwave-safe dish. Microwave on High (100%) for about 2 minutes, or until thawed. Drain off liquid. 

Ingredients

250g box frozen chopped leaf spinach, thawed (See Tip)

100g soft feta, crumbled

½ cup grated parmesan

2 x 300g chicken breasts, trimmed

1 tablespoon olive oil

Mashed potato, to serve

SALAD

2 large vine-ripened tomatoes, cut into wedges

2 medium Lebanese cucumber, trimmed, cut into 2cm pieces

60g bag baby rocket leaves

¼ cup bottled Greek salad dressing

Method

  1. Squeeze out excess liquid from spinach. Place spinach in a bowl with feta and parmesan. Season with pepper. Mix well. 

  2. Cut chicken fillets horizontally in half through the side, to give two thinner pieces. 

  3. One at a time, place chicken pieces between two sheets of baking paper. Gently pound with a meat mallet to an even thickness. 

  4. Spoon spinach mixture onto half of each piece of chicken. Fold over other half to enclose filling. Secure with a toothpick. Season with salt and pepper. 

  5. Heat oil in a large, non-stick frying pan over a medium heat. Add chicken. Cook for 7 minutes. Turn over. Cover loosely with foil. 

  6. Cook chicken for a further 7 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from pan. Discard toothpicks. 

  7. Meanwhile, make salad. Combine all ingredients in a bowl. Toss well. 

  8. Serve chicken drizzled with pan juices and salad with mashed potato.
