Baked Spinach Alfredo Chicken

I got this recipe out of a cookbook we received for our wedding, "Bride and Groom: First and Forever Cookbook." It was really simple and delicious. Maybe a little too much spinach for two people, but you can adjust that as needed. I hope you enjoy!
  • 1 10-oz package frozen spinach, thawed
  • 1/2 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1/2 cup Alfredo sauce
  • squeeze of lemon
  • pinch of nutmeg
  • 2 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
  • prosciutto (optional- since I didn't have any)
  • 2 slices Swiss cheese
  • seasoned bread crumbs (optional)
  1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Squeeze excess liquid out of thawed spinach.
  2. Combine ricotta cheese, 1/4 cup Alfredo sauce, squeeze of lemon, pinch of nutmeg, salt, and pepper.
  3. Place 2 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves between 2 pieces of plastic wrap. Whack with the back of a wooden spoon until the surface nearly doubles. Place in a baking dish. Season with salt and pepper. Slather with some additional Alfredo sauce over each chicken breast followed by prosciutto, spinach mixture and Swiss cheese. Top with seasoned bread crumbs if you have them.
  4. Bake for about 15 minutes or until chicken is done.
