1 package (12 oz.) Stouffer's frozen spinach souffle, not thawed
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, pounded to
1/4" thickness
2 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
2 cloves garlic, sliced
1 cup chicken broth
2 Tbsp. lemon juice
1 tsp. Dijon mustard
Salt, to taste
Ground black pepper, to taste
1 Tbsp. chopped parsley, for garnish
Slices lemon, for garnish
Sprig parsley, for garnish
Preheat the oven to 350°F.
Using a serrated knife, cut the spinach souffle
crosswise into 4 equal pieces. Top half of each whole breast with one of the
pieces of souffle. Fold half of the chicken over the filling and fasten the
edges with wooden picks.
Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the garlic and cook for 3 minutes, or until golden. Discard the garlic. Add
the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for 7 minutes per side, or until
well-browned on both sides.
Remove the chicken breasts and place them in an
oven-proof dish. Bake in the oven for 30 minutes, or until a thermometer
inserted in the thickest portion registers 170°F and the juices run clear.
While the chicken is baking, add the broth, lemon
juice, mustard, salt, and pepper to the large skillet. Heat to boiling. Reduce
the heat to low, cover and simmer for 20 minutes, or until the sauce is reduced
about 1/2.
To serve, remove and discard the wooden picks. Arrange
the chicken on a warm serving platter, and spoon the sauce over the chicken.
Garnish with the chopped parsley, lemon and parsley sprig. Serves 4
