I was surfing online and found this recipe. It sounds really good. These are the ingredients needed to make the dish. It is spinach-stuffed chicken. It is the preparations to make 6 stuffed chicken breasts. Would these ingredients be P1 safe? If not, would there be some safe substitutions? This sounds like a super yummy recipe!!

SPINACH-STUFFED CHICKEN BREASTS
1 tablespoon butter
4 ounces mushrooms, finely chopped
1 10-ounce package frozen chopped spinach, thawed, squeezed dry
6 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
1/2 cup chopped fresh chives or green onion tops

6 chicken breast halves
6 tablespoons Dijon mustard
Preheat oven to 450°F. Melt butter in heavy medium skillet over medium heat. Add mushrooms and sauté until tender, about 5 minutes. Cool slightly. Blend spinach, cream cheese and chives in medium bowl. Mix in mushrooms; season with salt and pepper.

Run fingers under skin of each chicken breast to loosen, creating pocket. Spread 1/6 of cheese mixture between skin and meat of each breast. Arrange chicken breasts on baking sheet. Spread 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard over each chicken breast. Bake chicken until golden brown and cooked through, about 20 minutes. Serve immediately.

Thanks!!

Just use Smart Balance instead of butter and low fat or non fat cream cheese and the recipe is just fine! Good find!

Thanks! Sorry for posting in the wrong section. I really thought I had put it in Phase 1...

Thanks for the info! I will be sure to replace those with the good things. :-)
