Food Friday: Spinach Stuffed Chicken Breasts aka Hulk Smash Chicken

Yes, we call it Hulk smash chicken. My son (now 5) refused to eat anything green. Well, unless it came out of his nose. Then he had no problem snacking. Anyway, I made this one night and when he asked "what's this green stuff" we responded "Hulk smash food" (as in The Incredible Hulk). And you know what? He LOVES it.

I also made it for my co-author after she had her baby (but went easy on the red pepper flakes) and they loved it too!

Here's what you need:

Chicken breasts (4-6...however many you need to feed)
16 oz of Sour Cream
1 bag of shredded cheese (I like Pizza cheese OR Monterrey Jack---any white cheese)
Red Pepper flakes
Garlic Powder
1 package (10oz or so) of frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained
A jar of Alfredo sauce
Package of Fettuccine noodles

Slit the breasts so you can stuff them and lay them in a greased/sprayed baking dish.

Mix the sour cream, cheese, 1/2 of the spinach and red pepper and garlic powder to taste. You like hot food, more red pepper. More garlic flavor, add more garlic. Stuff (this is the fun part) the chicken breasts with the mixture. If you have leftover "stuffing", spread it on top of the chicken breasts.

Put in a 350 degree oven for 35 minutes.

Place the remaining spinach in a sauce pan and cover with jar of Alfredo sauce. Boil water and cook the noodles, heat up the sauce containing spinach. Drain the noodles, pour the sauce over the noodles and toss. Put noodles/sauce on the plate, add chicken on the top.

It is SO yummy and my boys LOVE it. And even if I feel silly saying "Hulk Smash Chicken", he's eating spinach. And he likes it!
