Spinach Stuffed Chicken Breasts

Over the last 6 months or so I’ve been on a mission to completely revamp the way I feed my family. I’ve switched from quick and easy thrown together casseroles to dinners that include a fresh meat, side, and a fresh vegetable. It’s been quite a change and everyone has really enjoyed the new recipes. These Spinach Stuffed Chicken Breasts were one of the very first new recipes I tried. Everyone loved them- even my pickiest eater who shuns anything green ate every single bite! That’s a win in my house!

1/4 tsp onion powder

2 Tbsp mayo
