Chicken and Squash

I have to tell you Pinterest has been a lifesaver being on this diet, the rules are so simple but really it means cutting out ALOT of stuff from our diet. So when I come across recipes like this I just have to try them! So tonight's dinner was partially from Pinterest and partially something I remembered seeing once upon a time somewhere in internet land.


Spinach and mozzarella stuffed chicken breast with spaghetti squash au gratin. The au gratin was perfect, very filling which made it VERY hard to finish dinner tonight. Oh well I guess it'll make a great lunch for tomorrow.
The chicken was made the best I could from memory. Here's how I did it.

2 chicken breasts
2 small pieces of mozzarella
6 leafs of spinach
2 tbsp butter
1 tbsp rosemary

Pound out the chicken breasts so they are nice and thin so you can roll them up. Place 3 leafs of spinach and one piece of mozzarella in each. Fold up the chicken so that the cheese will not leak out while baking. Melt the butter and mix it with the rosemary pour evenly over chicken. Cover with foil and bake at 350 for 20 minutes.

Pretty simple and simply delicious! I think next time though I will pair it with steamed veggies instead of the spaghetti squash. The squash would be nice either by itself since it is so filling or with a simple piece of meat possibly fish? Either way both will stay on the menu in our house.
