This works well with lamb too and is a good way to get kids to eat spinach, serve with some couscous for a quick summer meal
Ingredients
- 4 boneless chicken breast fillets, skin on
- 85g frozen leaf spinach, defrosted
- 85g feta cheese, crumbled
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp pine nut
Method
-
Loosen the skin from the chicken. Drain the spinach in a sieve and press out as much water as possible. Mix with the feta and a little black pepper, then stuff between the flesh and skin of the chicken, smoothing the skin back over the stuffing. Season the chicken all over with a little salt and pepper.
-
Heat the oil in a frying pan with a lid. Add the chicken, skin-side down, and fry until the skin is browned. Turn it over and cook on the other side, then add the pine nuts and fry until lightly toasted. Add 6 tbsp water, then cover for 15-20 mins until the chicken is cooked through.
