Ingredients:

1 (10 ounce) package fresh spinach leaves
1/2 cup Organic sour cream

2. Place spinach in small sauce pan stirring every minute or so, or until wilted. Stir in sour cream, low fat cheese, and garlic.
3. Lay the chicken breasts out on a clean surface, and spoon some of the spinach mixture onto each one. Roll up chicken to enclose the spinach. Secure with toothpicks, and arrange in a shallow baking dish. Add the ready made hummus into the mix

Health Benefits:

Chicken is rated as a very good source of protein, providing 67.6% of the daily value for protein in 4 ounces. The structure of humans and animals is built on protein. We derive our amino acids from animal and plant sources of protein, then rearrange the nitrogen to make the pattern of amino acids we require. People who are meat eaters, but are looking for ways to reduce the amount of fat in their meals, can try eating more chicken. The leanest part of the chicken is the chicken breast, which has less than half the fat of a trimmed Choice grade T-bone steak.
