Piazza Chicken & Spinach

1 small red pepper, seeded and chopped

1 cup loosely packed fresh spinach without stems, chopped

¼cup chopped yellow onion

1 tbsp. chopped fresh basil

1 tsp. salt

½ tsp. pepper

1 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil

6 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves (about 4 oz., ea.) 6 slices low fat mozzarella cheese (1 oz., ea.)

Place upper grilling plate and baking pan in the George Foreman® Grill. Preheat for about 6 minutes on Medium High (green light will notify you that grill is ready). Add red pepper and onion and cook until onion is softened, about 3 minutes. Add spinach and cook just until the spinach is softened. Transfer vegetable mixture to a medium bowl. Add basil, salt, pepper and oil; toss lightly.

Create a large pocket in each chicken breast by cutting horizontally half-way through each breast. Place one slice of cheese inside each pocket and spoon spinach stuffing over the cheese slices. Close each pocket by pressing the edges of the chicken together lightly. If desired, fasten with a toothpick.

Replace the shallow baking pan with the grilling plate; preheat on Medium High for 5 minutes. Add chicken breasts and grill for about 6 minutes until the chicken is done and registers 170ºF on a meat thermometer. Remove toothpicks before serving.

Serves 4.
