Stuffed that Chicken!

It's hard to cook sometimes when you have a picky eater at home. My wonderful partner Rob has something against anything that is slimy or anything that have bones in them. His reason is that when he eats slimy food, he felt like he is being choked and that he is too lazy to take the bone off.
Rob will only eat boneless chicken breast, steak without bones and fat, shrimp without the shells, fish without bones, fruit without seeds. If he has a choice, he would not eat any vegetable or anything green. In his world, French fries is a vegetable and in my head - what a joke that is!
I am the opposite of  him, I eat anything and when it comes to meat, the darker the meat is, the more I love them. When I have to cook a chicken breast dish, I usually just bake them in the oven with salt, pepper and olive oil because I know he will eat them without hesitation or me listening to him complaining. I was indeed getting bored cooking chicken with the simplest ingredient and wanted to try something new and exciting; then I came across a stuffed chicken recipe that involves bacon and I knew I have to make it!

Preheat oven to 375 degree Boil 8 cups of water in a pot and cook spinach until wilted (around 4 minutes). Drain the spinach and pat them dry. 

Stir in sour cream, cheese, garlic, salt and pepper into the spinach and mix them together. 

Place the chicken breasts on cutting board and spoon a scoop of creamy spinach mix onto each breast. 

Roll up chicken to enclose the spinach. 

Wrap each breast with bacon and secure them with toothpicks. 

Season each chicken roll up with fresh ground black pepper and put them in a shallow baking dish. 

Bake uncovered for 35 minutes and increase the heat to 500 degree for 10 minutes to brown the bacon. Serve immediately. 

Happy Stuffing! :)
