Ingredients

  • 4 Chicken breast
  • 2 medium onions peeled, halved and thinly sliced
  • 12 dates roughly chopped
  • 5 Cups spinach small amount reserved for serving
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • In a medium skillet, heat oil and add onion. Cook over high heat for 5-8 minutes, until browned. Reduce heat to medium low and caramelize the onions. This will take about 15 minutes. Then add chopped dates and cook for a further minute or so. Now add the spinach and remove from heat. Sir through until all the spinach has wilted.
  • On a chopping board, prepare the chicken breast by slitting open the side of each one enabling you to fill them with the spinach mixture. Fill each one with a few tablespoons of the mixture.
  • Put into a baking dish and bake for approximately 25-30 minutes.
  • Serve over a bed of fresh spinach.
