PC#3 - Spinach and Pepperjack Stuffed Chicken

I am not the person who likes to measure, so I absolutely didn't use the exact measurements listed on the recipe.  Also, I added garlic and didn't add any breadcrumbs.  So here's what I did:
I took the boneless, skinless chicken breast and split them in half long ways (I use Tyson chicken, and it is really thick, so I didn't think that it would work rolling up a thick chicken).  Also, I don't tenderize meat, so I wasn't going to flatten it out that way.  I then put a few slices of pepper jack cheese, a spoonful of garlic, and handfuls of spinach in my food processor.  I would pulse it until there was more space in the chopper, then I added more spinach.  I think I added about 5-6 handfuls total of spinach.



Then I added my mixture to my chicken and topped it with Tony's (a cajun seasoning that is a necessity in our kitchen).  Then I stuck a toothpick in them to keep them together.


After baking it in a 350 degree oven for about 35 minutes, our chicken was done.  It wasn't the cleanest meal, but I just spooned the extra mixture from the pan onto the top of the chicken in our plate.


This was definitely a hit!  The only thing I would do differently next time is possibly add on 1 slice of cheese and a tad less garlic.  The mixture seemed too salty, but it really was tasty.
