Ingredients
**3-4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2 oz softened cream cheese
1/2 small onion diced
1/2 cup sliced mushrooms
1/2 one small box of frozen spinach, thawed (cut the box in half with a sharp knife while frozen)
1 tsp of each salt, pepper and garlic powder
1 c. crushed regular potato chips (you can use tortilla chips or whatever you have on hand)
1 bag frozen cauliflower- thawed
1/2 c. warm milk
Butter or margarine to taste
*** Usually chicken breasts come in a package of 3 or 4. For these recipes you will need either 3 large chicken breasts or 4 smaller ones.
Coat the bottom of skillet with oil. Cook onions over medium heat for 3-4 minutes. Add mushrooms and cook 3-4 more minutes. Meanwhile, drain thawed spinach thoroughly and add to a small mixing bowl with cream cheese. Add onions and mushrooms to cream cheese with salt, pepper and garlic. Mix well. You will be stuffing two of the chicken breasts and reserving the other two for round two recipe. Make an incision on one side of chicken starting about 1/2 inch in. Make a large pocket without going all the way through the chicken. Stop 1/2 inch before the end of the chicken. Repeat for second breast. Place an even amount of stuffing in each breast. Drizzle all four breasts with a small amount of oil and lightly season on both sides with salt, pepper and garlic powder. Take the two stuffed chickens and coat on both sides with potato chip crumbs. Place all 4 breasts in skillet on medium high cooking 5-7 minutes on each side. Un-stuffed breasts will cook faster then stuffed. Cool un-stuffed and reserve for round two recipe.
Cauliflower Mash-
** This dish definitely has a different texture then regular mashed potatoes but you still get good flavor and less guilt!
Steam cauliflower in a medium saucepan with 1/4 cup water. Leave the lid on to steam over medium heat. When cauliflower is tender drain and return to saucepan. Heat up milk in a saucepan or microwave. Add a small amount of milk and begin to mash cauliflower like you would potatoes. Continue to add milk until mash is the consistency you like. Add butter, salt and pepper to taste
