Baked Spinach Provolone Chicken Breasts


I made this with my own little �twists� a couple of times! The first time I just added some halved grape-tomatoes to the spinach (do not saut� the tomatoes�add when stuffing the chicken breasts and then bake as usual). Gives it a somewhat �bruschetta� taste. Delicious!! The second time, I added basil and some other Italian seasonings when I saut�ed the spinach as well as scallions, stuffed the chicken breasts and then battered them twice using Italian bread crumbs topped them with mozzarella and baked as per usual. NOTHING but scrumptious feedback from the family!
