Preparation

  • Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • On a cutting board, make a pocket into the chicken breast. To do so, use the tip of the knife to make a slit and avoid cutting through the breast to stuff it later. Reserve.
  • In a saucepan, sauté the spinach, leeks, and garlic in half of the butter for a few minutes. Remove the saucepan from heat and add the ricotta cheese. Mix well. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Pour the chicken broth into an oven-proof dish.
  • Stuff the chicken breasts with the vegetables and cheese filling. Seal without pressing to prevent the filling from spilling out (it will remain visible).
  • Carefully place the stuffed chicken breasts in the baking dish.
  • In a pan, sauté the mushrooms in the remaining butter until they release their water and turn golden brown. Season with salt to taste.
  • Place the mushrooms on top of the chicken and bake for about 45 minutes or until the desired doneness. Serve with rice and drizzle with juices.
