Chicken is an all-time favorite for dinner at my house. Chicken is the star many one-pot pasta dishes, grain bowls, cozy soups, and salads. Its applications are seemingly endless. Typically, though, I reach for chicken thighs rather than breasts. They’re fattier and more forgiving, so I don’t have to worry about drying them out when cooking. That extra fat does double duty, adding not only moisture, but flavor. However, I recently discovered my new favorite technique, that has put chicken breasts back in the rotation: stuffing. You can stuff chicken breasts with anything from grapes and hazelnuts to goat cheese and garlic. These spinach and cheese stuffed chicken breasts are the perfect answer to my “boring, dry chicken breast” woes.
