A light and easy dinner for two on any occasion. Chicken, cheese, AND jerky. What's not to love?
Ingredients:
- 1/2 package Savage Jerky Sgt. Pepper Bacon Jerky (or any Savage Jerky bacon jerky variety), chopped and divided
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tbsp olive oil
-
½ tbsp butter
- ½ clove of garlic
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 6oz french green beans
Filling:
-
1 ½ cup spinach, chopped
- 2 tsp olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
-
½ cup sun-dried tomatoes, drained/chopped
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella, see notes
-
1/3 cup Parmesan, grated
-
½ tsp dried basil
-
dried oregano
-
¼ tsp onion powder
-
red pepper flakes
Directions:
Preheat oven to 375°F. Add olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook spinach, sun-dried tomatoes, and garlic until wilted. About 3-4 minutes. Set aside. Combine remaining ingredients for filling then add spinach mixture.
Pat chicken dry and cut a pocket for stuffing. Be careful not to cut all the way through the chicken breast. Stuff each piece then season with salt, pepper, and paprika. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium then sear each breast one side at a time. About 3-4 minutes or until golden. Transfer chicken breasts to a baking dish and cook for 17-20 minutes.
Wash and cut the ends of the green beans. Bring water and a pinch of salt to a boil then add green beans. Boil for 1-2 minutes or until softened. Add oil and butter to a skillet over medium heat and cook the blanched green beans for 2-3 minutes. Plate the chicken and green beans then serve.
