If you don’t have both stores near you, you can still get most of the items on sale at one store or the other.

Recipe: (amount of ingredients is based on how much you can stuff into your pieces of chicken, so it will be pretty non specific)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Pound out 4 pieces of chicken to make it easier to stuff and roll. Saute bag of spinach in a pan with oil, salt and 1 or 2 cloves crushed garlic. Whisk two eggs and place in a pie late. Pour 1 cup of breadcrumbs into a pie plate. Stuff each piece of pounded chicken with shredded mozzarella (~1 tbsp each piece ), crumbled feta (~1 tbsp each piece), and sauteed spinach (~2 – 3 tbsp each). Roll the chicken around the stuffed mixture, coat with the whisked egg, then coat in the breadcrumbs. Use Pam cooking spray or a little oil on a pan and place stuffed chicken on the baking sheet adding a drop of olive oil to the top of each one. Bake in 350 degree oven for 20 – 25 minutes. Cook Uncle Ben’s Ready rice in 90 seconds in the microwave.
And there you have it. A simple weeknight meal using all ingredients on sale at Market Basket and Shaw’s this week.
Enjoy!
