Baked Chicken Spinach Stuffing
9 Pillsbury® Dunkables® frozen home-style waffle sticks with 3 syrup cups
• 2 tablespoons peach preserves
• 1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
2 bone-in, skin-on chicken breasts (about 1 pound)
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 tablespoon butter or margarine
1/2 cup chopped onion (1 medium)
1/4 cup chicken broth
1/2 teaspoon poultry seasoning
1/2 teaspoon chopped fresh sage
1-1/2 cups Green Giant® frozen cut leaf spinach (from 1-pound bag),
thawed, squeezed to drain well
1 tablespoon beaten egg white
1 tablespoon chopped pecans
Heat oven to 350°. Spray a 9-inch glass pie plate or a 8-inch square pan
with cooking spray. In a small bowl, mix contents of the syrup cups from
waffles, the preserves, and Worcestershire sauce. Place chicken, skin side up,
in pie plate; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Spoon syrup mixture over chicken.
Bake uncovered for 25 minutes.
Meanwhile, toast waffle sticks as directed on box. Cool slightly, about 2
minutes. Cut waffles into 3/4-inch cubes; set aside. Spray a 1-quart casserole
with cooking spray (or use a 9x5-inch nonstick loaf pan; do not spray). In a
10-inch nonstick skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add onion; cook and stir
2 minutes or until tender. Stir in waffle pieces and broth, breaking up and
moistening waffle pieces. Sprinkle with poultry seasoning and sage. Remove from
heat; stir in spinach. Cool about 5 minutes. Stir in egg white and pecans.
Spoon stuffing into casserole; place in oven with chicken. Bake uncovered for
15 to 25 minutes or until juice of chicken is clear when thickest part is cut to
bone (170°F) and stuffing is thoroughly heated. Serve chicken with stuffing,
spooning remaining sauce in pan over chicken
