Iron Chef Battle: Chicken Breast

So last night I was inspired to "Iron Chef it up". I knew we were going to buy some chicken breasts so I started to think about what I could make. My husband thought I should just do them George Foreman style, but I decided I wanted to be more creative. So I checked out what we had in the fridge...hm...yes, we had the ingredients I needed so, I googled some recipes. However, I am not really one to follow actual recipes (probably why my dishes are always a crap shoot!). I quickly looked at the recipes whose pictures looked good and chose the picture I liked the best. Then I went about preparing the chicken. I didn't have a poultry mallet, so I wrapped a hammer in plastic and saran wrap and pounded out the chicken. When it was nice and flat, I salted and peppered it and put it to the side. Then, I chopped the onions and garlic, washed and drained the spinach and sauteed the mixture. Once the spinach was wilted and the onions caramelized, I mixed in some feta cheese. I wrapped it up in the chicken breast and secured it with a bamboo skewer. Then I seared it on both sides and was excited that it was actually starting to look like the picture in the recipe! After I did this with each piece, I put them on a baking sheet and topped it with tin foil and stuck it in the oven to bake it through. After about 45 minutes I took it out and walah!

Next came tasting and...it was delicioso!!! The chicken was moist and juicy! Yay! (I think the picture doesn't do it justice). Anyways...next time you come over, I will make this for you...mmmm!
