Smoked Gouda Spinich Stuffed Chicken



Boneless chicken fillets

raw fresh spinach ( optional )

Cream of Chicken soup

Smoked Gouda Cheese ( any smoked cheese will work )

Grated paremsean cheese , flour, Seasoned bread crumbs

Ground Cumin , Poultry Seasoning , and salt and pepper

Put the chicken in a plastic zip bag or wrap in saran wrap and pound it thin. Dont pound it so hard it turns into ground chicken, just pound it thin enough to roll up. Lay a few pieces of spinach on the flattened chicken. Put a thin piece of smoked Gouda cheese on top, as much as you want. Roll the chicken up and secure it with a couple of toothpicks. Mix 1/2 c. grated parmesean cheese with 1/4 c. flour and 1 c fine bread crumbs and all the seasonings in a bowl.

Dip the chicken in the bread crumb/flour mixture (use pam spray, or beaten egg white to moisten the chicken first so that the flour mixture sticks to it real good ) Fry the prepared chicken rolls in some oil in a pan till lightly browned on both sides. Mix a can or two of cream of chicken soup and 1 tsp cumin and place in the bottom of the crock pot.

Lay the chicken rolls on top of the soup, as many as you can fit. Place a few more slices of smoked cheese on top. Cover and let cook in crock pot for about 3-4 hours. It is great served with long grain and brown rice.

Shortcut - Just roll some boneless chick breasts with the smoked cheese and roll it in the same seasoned cheese/flour/mixture , then fry in a little oil. ( with or without spinach, your choice ) Put in a 9X13 pan and pour the soup mixture over top. Cover with a few pieces of smoked cheese on top and bake for 30 mins. I can have it on the table after church in no time this way and you still have the great taste of smoked cheese with the chicken. It's the cumin and smoked cheese that make this dish so great .
