I wanted to share one more 2 serving Weight Watchers friendly recipe from our “Table for Two” meal planning ebook before we wrap up our “2 servings” series. One of these delicious stuffed and breaded chicken breasts is just 4 WW FreeStyle Smart Points, which is fitting since there are exactly 4 reasons I wanted to share this particular recipe with you today.

(Sidenote before we go on: This 2-serving Cheesy Spinach Stuffed Chicken recipe may look familiar since it is already on the blog as a recipe that makes 4 servings. You can get to the 4-serving version here)

4 reasons I wanted to share this recipe with you today:

Reason #1:

This recipe is the one we showcased in our promo video! My friend helped me make this video and I am really proud of his work, so I wanted to make sure you all got to see it…

Reason #2:

I wanted to use it as an example of a recipe that is in the ebook that looks impressive and tastes great, but is actually quite simple to make!

Reason #3:

I wanted to remind you that the $10.99 price for the “Table for Two” ebook ends this Sunday, October 7. After October 7, it will go to it’s normal price of $14.99. Learn more and purchase your copy here.

Reason #4:

I wanted to highlight a special feature that is included in the “Table for Two” ebook that could be helpful with this kind of recipe. It’s our “Ideas for Leftover Ingredients” page.

Ideas for key leftover ingredients.

Besides all of the recipes in our new ebook making just two servings, another feature that sets this ebook apart from the others is our “Ideas for Leftover Ingredients” pages. We realize one of the main challenges of feeding 1-2 people each night is having leftover ingredients that spoil before you can come up with a way to use them.

At the end of each week there is a page that lists the ingredients that you may not use all of. Under each ingredient we include the following: a list of recipes in the ebook that also use that ingredient, snack/dessert/breakfast options that use that ingredient, and links to some other recipes on Meal Planning Mommies that also use that ingredient.

Here is an example of what one of these pages looks like:

In this particular recipe there are 3 ingredients that would make this list: the Laughing Cow cheese wedges, spinach, and Italian Seasoned breadcrumbs.

Examples of ideas for leftover ingredients.

Here’s an example of what would be on the “Ideas for Leftover Ingredients” page, as it relates to this recipe…

Italian-style breadcrumbs:

• Also used in Pizza Burgers – week 3.
• Sprinkle over scrambled eggs, roasted vegetables sprayed with cooking spray, or a creamy pasta dish.
• Make Italian Turkey Meatballs with Zoodles (Recipe is HERE). Bonus: Meatballs are freezer-friendly.

Spinach/Salad Greens:

• Also used in Bacon Bleu Apple Salad – week 1.
• Also used in Strawberry Tossed Salad – week 2.
• Also used in Italian Style Pepperoni Pizza Salad – week 3.
• Also used in Turkey Taco Salad – week 3.
• Also used in Chicken Caesar Salad – week 4.
• Great on sandwiches, salads, wraps, or in smoothies.
• Cook with mushrooms until spinach is wilted and mushrooms are tender. Sprinkle with salt and serve as a side dish.

Laughing Cow cheese wedges:

• Spread on pretzel crisps, rice cakes, cucumbers, bagels, baked potatoes, carrots, and/or celery.
• Spread on sandwiches in place of mayonnaise.

Okay, so now that you you know the four reasons why I am sharing this recipe, let’s get to this four WW SP recipe…

Here is what you need:

• 1/2 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
• 2 cups spinach
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 2 (6 ounce) boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 2 Laughing Cow light Swiss garlic and herb cheese wedges
• 1 egg, beaten
• 1/4 cup Italian seasoned breadcrumbs
• Cooking spray
• Salt and pepper, to taste

Here is what you do:

1. Heat oil in a large skillet, over medium heat. Add spinach and cook 3-4 minutes, or until the spinach is wilted, mixing as it cooks.
2. Add garlic and cook an additional 30 seconds. Transfer spinach/garlic to a bowl.

3. Wrap chicken pieces, one at a time, in clear plastic wrap (to prevent making a mess) and pound down the chicken with a meat tenderizer until the chicken is very thin, about 1/2 of an inch.

4. Place 1 wedge of cheese on each piece of chicken and spread over 1/2 of each piece.

5. Divide the spinach between the pieces of chicken, carefully spreading out over the cheese.
(I found using my hands was easier for this step, but you could scoop out about 2 tablespoons spinach on each.)

6. Fold the 1/2 of the chicken with nothing on it over the 1/2 with the cheese and spinach.
7. Dip both sides of the chicken in the beaten egg and then in the breadcrumbs.

8. Spray the skillet you used for the spinach with cooking spray and transfer the chicken to the skillet. Cook chicken over medium heat 3-4 minutes on both sides, or until the chicken is slightly browned. I found it easiest to flip the chicken using tongs to hold it together. Spray chicken with cooking spray if the breading looks dry.
9. Turn heat down to medium-low heat. Cover skillet and cook an additional 4-6 minutes, or until the middle of chicken is fully cooked (this step will take more or less time, depending on the thickness of the chicken).

10. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, to taste.

Optional side: Side salad with favorite dressing.

Makes 2 servings.
One serving is 4 WW FreeStyle Smart Points.
