Ingredients
  

  • 1/4 cup fresh spinach, OR frozen thawed if that is all that is available
  • 1/4 cup Cottage cheese, OR make from a shortcut on this site
  • 2 chicken breasts, boneless and skinless
  • 1/4 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded
  • paprika
  • salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 200 C, lightly grease the bottom of a baking dish.
  • Cook the spinach on a medium heat in a splash of olive oil for 3-5 minutes until it is slightly wilted. Stir in the ricotta and cook for a further 30-60 seconds. Allow to cool.
  • Cut slits into the chicken breasts about 1/2 inch apart but don’t cut all the way through - about 75% of the way down is what you should aim for.
  • Stuff all of the spinach and ricotta mixture into the slits. Season the chicken with salt and pepper to taste. Sprinkle the Cheddar cheese on top. Shake a good bit of ground paprika over the chicken to add some color and flavor. Place chicken in the baking dish.
  • Bake in the center of your oven for 20-25 minutes until the cheese has melted and the juices are clear. Serve with a side of egg noodles and vegetable, enjoy.

Notes

Without even doing the math, this is under $1 per serving.
