: Stuff the Chicken
Season the chicken with salt, pepper and dried thyme. Split it in the middle to form a pocket, be careful not to split it completely. Spread dijon mustard on the inside of the chicken. Divide the spinach and cheese evenly between each breast and stuff them into the chicken breasts. Use toothpicks to hold the breasts together as they bake in the oven.
: Cook, Plate and Serve
Lightly grease a roasting pan or baking tray. Place carrots, zucchini at the bottom.
Heat some oil in a pan. Once the pan is hot enough, place the chicken breasts in the pan and lightly colour both sides. Then transfer to the roasting pan / baking tray with vegetables, along with any of the pan juices.
Bake for about 20 minutes.
Once the chicken and vegetables are done, keep the chicken aside to rest for 5 minutes. Toss the vegetables in butter while they’re still warm. Check and adjust the seasoning.
