Ingredients:
1 8 oz can chopped spinach, undrained
1 cup cottage cheese, small curd
1 egg, beaten
1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
1/2 teaspoon garlic
salt
& pepper
1 2 1/2 lb broiler chicken
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/8 teaspoon dried oregano, crushed
1/8 teaspoon dried rosemary, crushed
1/8 teaspoon dried thyme, crushed

Drain spinach; press between paper towels to remove excess moisture. Combine
spinach and next 5 ingredients; stir well, and set aside.
Remove giblets and
neck from chicken; reserve for other uses. Place chicken on a work surface, breast
side up. Cut completely through breast bone. Turn chicken over; flatten chicken
back, breaking breast and rib bones. Turn chicken breast side up. Starting at
neck cavity, loosen skin from breast and drumsticks by inserting one hand, palm

Spoon reserved spinach mixture into pockets beneath skin. Place chicken, breast
