The finished chicken breast with a salad. This recipe takes chicken up to a new level. It has a wonderful stuffing of mushrooms, spinach, caramelized onions, and swiss cheese.

Prep Time: 30 Minutes

Cook Time: 1 Hour

Yield: 1 serving

Ingredients:

1 large chicken breast
1 thick slice of swiss cheese
1/4 cup canned mushrooms
1/4 cup caramelized onions
1/4 cup fresh spinach
salt
pepper
paprika
3 toothpicks
1 Tbsp olive oil

Steps:

Caramelize the onion in olive oil using a small skillet, then save the oil to grease the baking pan. While the onion is cooking, place the chicken between a sheet of folded waxed paper and flatten it using a rolling pin until it's very thin and pliable. Season the chicken with salt, pepper and paprika.

Place the onions, spinach, mushrooms, and cheese in the middle of the chicken breast. Carefully roll it up, put a little bit of olive oil on the outside, season with salt, pepper, and paprika, and secure with toothpicks.

Place the chicken onto the greased baking pan and put it in the oven. I used a toaster oven and set the temp to 350 degrees F. It took about an hour for the chicken to bake. I also browned it for a few minutes under the broiler. Let the chicken rest a few minutes, then remove the tooth picks.
