Spinach and Pepper Jack Stuffed Chicken Breasts
**I really enjoyed this recipe. My family is out of town this week and I didn't make it for my youngest daughter, so I don't know how friendly it will be to the entire family, but if you like spinach and pepper jack cheese, you will enjoy this. This recipe came from Food, Friends and Fun**
1 9oz pkg fresh spinach leaves
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 cup shredded pepper jack cheese
4 garlic cloves, minced
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts - pounded to 1/2 inch thickness.
1 pinch ground black pepper
8 slices bacon (optional) *I did not use**
Place spinach in a large glass bowl and heat in the microwave for 3 minutes, stirring every minute or so, or until wilted. Stir in the sour cream, pepper jack cheese, and garlic.
Lay chicken breasts out on a clean surface, and spoon some of the spinach mixture onto each one. Sprinkle with pepper. Roll up the chicken to enclose the spinach, then wrap each chicken breast with two slices of bacon. Secure with a toothpick or 2 and place in a 9x13 baking dish.
Bake uncovered for 35 minutes, then increase the heat to 500 degrees and cook for an additional 5-10 minutes to brown the bacon.
