Tranquility Carol's Stuffed Chicken with Spinach and Walnut's

Another amazing recipe from Tranquility Carol. The wispy seductress Siren of Sherwood who lures nearby lovers of gastronomical pleasures with her enchanting music and voice. She who sings the songs of the deep woods and liberates the soul with subtle touches and tastes, she had us over for dinner the other night (in our own kitchen-how does that work?) and delectably and softly brought us to a wonderful escape of culinary perfection.

Ingredients:

One-half cup finely chopped onion
One-half cup finely chopped celery
3 garlic cloves, minced
2 and one half teaspoon olive oil
10 ounces fresh spinach-chopped
One quarter cup crumbled gorgonzola cheese
4 boneless chicken breast halves (about 6-7 ounces each)
One-quarter teaspoon pepper
One-quarter teaspoon salt
One-quarter cup ground walnuts
1 egg white

Instructions:

In a small skillet, saute the onion, celery and garlic in oil until tender. Stir in spinach and cheese; remove from the heat. Cut a lengthwise slit through the thickest part of each chicken breast; fill with spinach mixture. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place egg white and walnuts in separate shallow bowls. Dip one side of chicken in egg white, (you can also brush it on) then in walnuts.

Place in an 11-in. x 7-in. baking dish coated with cooking spray. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 25-30 minutes or until chicken juices run clear.

Yield: 4 servings.
