This is a recipe from Gluten Free with Southern Charm (glutenfreemakeover.wordpress.com) and it’s so easy to throw together with just a few ingredients, and only takes about half an hour in the oven. Serve with a salad or side vegetables and you’ll have a quick, tasty meal.

INGREDIENTS:
 ▪ 4 chicken breasts (1.7 pounds or about 800g)
 ▪ 8oz (226g) frozen spinach (thawed and liquid wrung out)
 ▪ 4 slices (112g) Pepper Jack cheese*
 ▪ salt/pepper to taste

METHOD:
 1) Make incisions into chicken, 1/2 inches apart, being careful not to cut through the chicken
 2) Stuff each incision with 2oz spinach and 1 piece of pepper jack, broken into pieces
 3) Salt and pepper to taste
 4) Bake at 350 for 30 minutes or until chicken is thoroughly cooked

* Pepper Jack is Monterey Jack cheese with finely chopped jalapeños or habanero peppers added. We don’t have it where I live. Good substitutes are Muenster, Havarti or Gouda. Mix some finely chopped jarred jalapeños into the spinach to give it a similar kick.
