Would you think that anything with spinach in it would be a family favorite? No, normally my kids would turn away any dish with “that green leafy stuff”. But this Spinach Stuffed Chicken with its creamy cheese filling is a keeper in our house!
Serve alongside some asparagus or corn and you’ve got dinner prepped, cooked and served in less than 2 hours. A side salad would be even better but that takes more prep time than I have on a normal evening.
