Spinach Stuffed Chicken Breasts

 Concocting in the Kitchen (Colorado) says:
I love this recipe! This was exactly what I had in mind when I was looking for a spinach stuffed chicken recipe. The only thing I changed was; I use skinless chicken breasts, filet cut them to stuff, and bake a little extra cheese on the top at about 10 to 15 minutes to done. Then serve the slices and tomatoes over angle hair pasta. Definitely an instant favorite for me.
