Stuffed and breaded chicken breasts

2 thick boneless chicken breasts ( cut a deep pocket in center of each breast).

Plain yogurt 

1/4 cup drained seasoned spinach( I used leftover spinach I had) or can use fresh.

Moderate amount mozzarella or cheese of choice 

Mix spinach and cheese

After stuffing chicken breast spread plain yogurt over breast s.

Turn over  and spread equally.

Now on a large piece of waxed paper add 1 cup seasoned breadcrumbs. I season my own with salt, pepper, garlic and onion powder, dried parsley and Parmesan cheese..

NOTE:Frozen spinach drained and squeezed. You could use fresh. Very little mozzarella just enough to hold it together. (Incidentally this spinach was seasoned that I had leftover). 

I flavored the breadcrumbs as well with Parmesan cheese, dried parsley salt, pepper,onion and garlic powder.

Enjoy!
