Baked Chicken Stuffed with Spinach and Cheese

We went on vacation last week. Our diets consisted of alot of rich foods and desserts, because that's how you're supposed to eat on vacation, right? This week I've been trying to stuff us full of veggies and healthy dinners. I made this dish last night. Every single person in my family of 5 loved it. I hope you enjoy it too. I served it with asparagus and scalloped potatoes.

6 chicken breasts
1 pkg frozen spinach, thawed and drained
1 small onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
4-5 triangles light Swiss laughing cow cheese
1 cup breadcrumbs
1 tsp oregano
3 tbsp butter
Salt and pepper

Preheat oven to 425. Sauté the onion and 2/3 of the garlic in skillet till soft. Don't burn the garlic. Turn the heat off and stir in the spinach and cheese. Salt and pepper to taste. Stir together until the cheese melts. In a bowl, melt butter in microwave. Stir in breadcrumbs and oregano and the rest of the garlic. Take your chicken breasts and split them open down the middle. It should look like an open book. Sprinkle the chicken with salt and pepper. Stuff the spinach mixture into each open pocket. Sprinkle each breast with breadcrumb mix. Bake for 25 minutes or until chicken is cooked through.
