Jeff's Nduja Stuffed chicken Breast With Alfredo Sauce over Garlic Wilted Spinach

[indaswamp]

Wow....why the hell did I wait so long to make this dish?!?!?! Phenomenal Jeff jcam222 !

Had dinner tonight with my Aunt. Finished with Salumi Palooza so time to relax and have a great meal! First, I butterflied two chicken breasts open and started with some fresh Basil...

Then Nduja, sliced red onion, and not pictured - mozzarella cheese.(well, it is at the top of the pic. there...did not snap a pic. of it on the chicken breast for some reason.)

Rolled that up, Trussed with twine and set aside.
Got a black iron skillet going with a little olive oil and the zest from 1 lemon. This is to extract the lemon oil from the zest and infuse the olive oil to braise the chicken breast in. pulled the zest when the edges browned slightly...

Got a good crust on all sides.....seasoned with oregano, garlic powder, sea salt, and black pepper.

Then in a 325*F oven for 35 minutes to cook through to 165*F. Meanwhile, make the Alfredo sauce from scratch. Only 4 ingredients; heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, sea salt, cracked white pepper. That is it.

Also got the garlic wilted spinach going....

And done. Spinach...

Alfredo....

And the stuffed chicken breasts.....

The Plate:

Holy Moley!!! Flavor bomb! Absolutely incredible!!!

So as the chicken was baking in the oven, some of the Nduja fat oozed out and into the pan. The spicy oil infused into the chicken as it braised further in the oven. I flipped once during the oven bake....and spooned some of that fat on top of the trussed chicken....very moist indeed!

Glad you liked it Keith! It was a flavor bomb for sure when I made it. I'm going to have to make it again for sure.
