Garden Fresh Spinach

I am not an inventive cook, but I think this one is a winner! We have spinach in our garden that needs to be used, so I cooked up this yummy Sun-Dried Tomato & Spinach topped Chicken. We loved it. The chicken was tender, the vegetables were juicy and saucy, and we had a yummy dinner using our spinach. The rice that I made was found at Kraft Foods and can be found here: http://www.kraftfoods.com/kf/recipes/cheesy-rice-n-tomatoes-94485.aspx?pf=true . Loved, loved the rice. It has Cream Cheese in it and is oh, so creamy. Try it out! If anyone has some great recipes using fresh spinach, please let me know. I would love to try out some new recipes.

Sun-Dried Tomato & Spinach topped Chicken:

4 boneless, skinless Chicken Breasts
4 Cups Fresh Spinach, washed and drained
1 Can Diced Tomatoes
1/2 Cup Sun-Dried tomato Vinagrette Dressing (Kraft)
1 Tbsp Parmesan Cheese

In large mixing bowl, mix spinach, tomatoes, dressing and cheese until combined. Lay chicken breasts flat in baking pan. (Line pan with tin foil...that will help a ton with clean up.) I like to drizzle more of the dressing directly on my chicken breasts before I put the mixture on. That way more of that tangy flavor cooks into the Chicken. Cover chicken with spinach mixture. Bake at 375 for 20 minutes. Cooking times may vary, so cut into your chicken to make sure it is no longer pink. Serve with Kraft Foods Cheesy Rice 'n tomatoes. Yummy!
