Spinach Stuffed Chicken Breast

This is super simple and tastes pretty darn good! It took about 5 minutes of prep and 35 minutes to cook.
Yields: 2 servings

Ingredients
2 chicken breasts, butterflied & tenderized
3 tablespoons low fat sour cream
2 cups fresh spinach
Up to 1/4 cup grated extra old cheddar cheese
1 clove garlic, minced
*Optional - 4 strips bacon (I didn't do this put it would taste darn GOOD!)

Method
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.  Slice each chicken breast lengthwise until its just attached on one side (this is called butterflying).  Open up and cover with a piece of plastic wrap.  Using a meat tenderizer smack the $#*! out of it until its large enough to roll with a filling inside.  Throw spinach in the microwave until it wilts (1 min).  In a bowl mix wilted spinach, sour cream, cheese and garlic.  Spread mixture into chicken.  Roll chicken breasts and secure with tooth picks. If you decided to use bacon, wrap around chicken at this point.  In a oven proof dish, cook for 35 minutes.  Remove tooth picks and serve with a spinach salad. Bam!  Quick, easy and simple!
