Bacon-wrapped Chicken with Spinach Cream Cheese

If Popeye had more class (and a more palatable set of taste buds), he wouldn’t settle for just a measly can of Spinach. I mean, even the idea itself is absurd.

If he had the slightest bit of culinary sense, what he’d do instead is to get his muscles pumpin’, whip out a pan from the closet, and start cooking this lip-smackin’ chicken dish that’ll definitely keep ye ‘old scurvy away and get his crew sailin’ the seven seas.

Aye, this dish has been proven to weaken even the sirens’ knees. ‘Cause you see, mateys, despite the cream cheese and spinach stuffed into these once-feathered babies, they’re also wrapped with a shiny sheet of bacon.

Here’s some food for thought: ever wondered why Popeye is so addicted to these greens? Well, he’s not—his creators are, and they want to brainwash kids all over the world to eat this stuff. But rightly so, because these greens are terrific for those little pirates.

How about you?

Check your belly. Is it more of a Wimpy or a Popeye? If you answered the former, then you’re in deep trouble. Perhaps it’s about time you trade in those triple cheeseburgers for some chicken breast and spinach.

  • salt and pepper
  • 2-3 tsp olive oil

      Hi Tina, you can try but the butter might just ooze out. Unless you’re able to bread it nicely. :)

    Hello. What kind of pan did you use in here? Nonstick?

    How do you make a pocket???

      Use a regular pan heated to a high temperature to avoid sticking on the pan. Just run through the middle using a knife. It’s best to get the thickest breast you can find. :)

         If you put it in high temperature (to avoid sticking in the pan you say), wont the chicken burn immediately? Will the insides of the thick breast cook the same time?

    Tried this recipe, think you might be using smaller than normal chicken breasts as bacon didn’t reach around it at all? Tastes Devine but spilled out everywhere. Any suggestions?
