Ingredients

For the Chicken

  • 4 Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts
  • Salt/Pepper to Taste

For the Spinach Cheese Stuffing

  • 4 oz Low Fat Cream Cheese
  • 1/2 Cup Kraft Fat Free Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
  • 2 Tablespoons Grated Reduced Fat Parmesan Cheese
  • 3 Cloves Garlic, Minced
  • 5 oz Frozen Chopped Spinach, thawed and excess water squeezed out

For the Creamy Sauce

  • 1 Cup Fat Free Half and Half
  • 2 Tbl Cornstarch
  • 1 oz Low Fat Cream Cheese
  • 1/4 Cup Reduced Fat Grated Parmesan Cheese
  • Salt/Pepper to Taste

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the softened low-fat cream cheese, fat free mozzarella cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, and chopped spinach. Mix until well combined. Season with salt to taste.
  • Prepare the chicken breasts by making deep cuts across each breast, being careful not to cut all the way through. Season each breast with salt and pepper.
  • Stuff each chicken breast with the creamy spinach filling, pressing gently to pack it in.
  • Place the stuffed chicken breasts in a baking dish that has been lightly coated with cooking spray.
  • In a small saucepan, whisk together the fat-free half and half and cornstarch until smooth.
  • Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring constantly until thickened.
  • Reduce the heat to low and stir in the low-fat cream cheese and grated Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Pour a portion of the creamy sauce over the stuffed chicken breasts before baking, ensuring each breast is evenly coated.
  • Bake the stuffed chicken breasts in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
  • Once baked, allow the chicken to rest for a few minutes before serving. Serve the stuffed chicken breasts with any remaining sauce spooned over the top, if desired.
  • This makes 4 servings. Each serving is 7 WW Points. Enjoy!
