Chicken Spanakopita

Everyone loves spanakopita appetizers, but surprise your guests with this entree. Beautifully stuffed chicken filled with a blended cheese and spinach mixture. Finally dressed on top with a tasty Greek marinade. The marinade makes the entree for me by sealing in the taste. Recently I entered this in Paula Deen's Philadelphia recipe contest and attached my video to help the recipe come alive. Hope you enjoy this simple to make Greek Chic entree.

Servings: 6

• 6 ounce(s) of Chicken Breasts
• 10 ounce(s) of spinach, chopped
• 8 ounce(s) of Philadelphia cream cheese
• 1/2 cup(s) of feta cheese, crumbled

• 1 egg, beaten
• 1 cup(s) of extra virgin olive oil
• 1 tbsp. of lemon juice
• 1 tbsp. of oregano
• 1/2 cup(s) of parmesan cheese
• 1 tsp. of salt
• 1 tsp. of pepper Steps

1. In a large bowl, mix well spinach, cream cheese, dill and egg. Then add to spinach mixture, feta cheese, salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.
2. Taking cleaned chicken breast in between two pieces of wax paper, pound chicken until flattened.
3. Take chicken and place one large tablespoon of spinach mixture on one side of breast and fold over. Place in a baking dish. Repeat stuffing process until all are complete.
