Sautéed spinach is combined with cream cheese, melty mozzarella, and Italian seasonings, then stuffed inside a tender chicken cutlet. You'll sear it to a golden brown, finish it in the oven, then set it over zesty rice with a buttery lemon-mustard pan sauce. Serve with a side of garlicky zucchini and a final squeeze of lemon juice.

Adjust rack to middle position and preheat oven to 425 degrees. Wash and dry produce.
In a small pot, combine rice, 1¼ cups water (2¼ cups for 4 servings), and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce heat to low. Cook until rice is tender, 15-20 minutes.
Keep covered off heat until ready to serve.

While rice cooks, trim and halve zucchini lengthwise; slice crosswise into ¼-inch-thick half-moons. Peel and mince garlic. Zest and quarter lemon.
Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over high heat. Add spinach and cook, stirring, until wilted, 2-3 minutes. Transfer to a medium bowl.
Heat another drizzle of oil in same pan over medium-high heat. Add zucchini and garlic; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring, until zucchini is browned and tender, 4-5 minutes. Transfer to a plate. (Reserve pan.)

To bowl with spinach, add cream cheese, mozzarella, half the Italian Seasoning, salt, and pepper. Stir until well combined.
Pat chicken* dry with paper towels. Holding your knife parallel to the cutting board, carefully cut a horizontal slit into the center of each cutlet, leaving 1 inch intact on the opposite side (be careful not to cut all the way through!). Open up each cutlet like a book; divide spinach and cheese filling between cutlets, then fold closed. Season outside of chicken with remaining Italian Seasoning, salt, and pepper.

Heat a drizzle of oil in pan used for veggies over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until golden, 2-3 minutes per side.
Transfer chicken to a baking sheet. Bake on middle rack until chicken is cooked through, 10-12 minutes.
Melt 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4 servings) in pan used for chicken over medium heat. Add stock concentrate, mustard, ¼ cup water (½ cup for 4), and juice from half the lemon. Cook, stirring occasionally, until mixture has thickened, 2-3 minutes. Taste and season with salt and pepper.

Add lemon zest to pot with rice; fluff with a fork.
Divide rice, zucchini, and chicken between plates. Top chicken with pan sauce; serve with remaining lemon wedges on the side.
You need to add 'drain and squeeze liquid from sautéed spinach' to the instructions. Unfortunately the cheese oozed and burned on my sheet pan. Also between the browning in a sauce pan and baking in the oven, the chicken was way overcooked and tough. Perhaps just broil the chicken at the end to brown it? The mustard sauce was very good however.
This was absolutely delicious! Easy to cook and the flavors were delightful. The chicken was already thin so I didn't have to slice it. Please keep this in rotation. I'll order it every time.
One of our favorite chicken dishes! Delicious & easy to make. We love the flavors. Would make this again!
Very good and easy to make. We put the spinach on top instead of stuffing.
I skipped the rice and cooked the chicken and asparagus in the oven. Very tasty!
Very nice combination of flavors, I love the increased protein/portion, great for those of us (seniors) who struggle to get quality proteins each day.
This is a restaurant quality dinner! May be a bit more gravy.
I found the breast were too thin to cut with one of them much smaller than the other. Therefor, I found pounding to work better.
Came out great. Subbed asparagus for zucchini and it worked great
Very good. I purchased extra for company and everyone enjoyed!!! Sauce was delicious!!!
