gouda spinach hasselback chicken
This super simple Hasselback Chicken is made flavorful with Gouda cheese and fresh baby spinach. The spinach helps keep the chicken moist while the Gouda and the herbs infuse flavor. I love to serve this dish with Green Beans with Toasted Almonds and Garlic and Roasted Rosemary Potatoes.

How To Make gouda spinach hasselback chicken
-
Step 1Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
-
Step 2Cut vertical slices in chicken breasts about 1/3 of an inch apart. Do not go all the way through. Place piece of Gouda and baby spinach in each slice.
-
Step 3Combine melted butter, basil, oregano, garlic powder and onion powder. Brush over chicken breast. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
-
Step 4Place in baking dish with a piece of foil cradled in the bottom to keep the juices around the chicken. Bake for 25 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 165 degrees. Turn on the broiler for the last minute of cooking just to brown the cheese a touch.
