How to Make It

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350°F.

Step 2

Combine spinach, cheeses, and tarragon. Add salt and pepper, if desired.

Step 3

Lift up skin of each chicken breast and divide mixture evenly among them. Be careful not to tear skin. Smooth skin over stuffing; tuck underneath to form a neat package.

Step 4

Brush each breast with melted margarine. Place in 2-quart baking dish.

Step 5

Bake uncovered for 45–50 minutes until chicken is browned and no trace of pink remains.

Step 6

Remove and discard skin after cooking.
