Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 4 lb chicken breasts
  • 1.5 cup fresh spinach, chopped
  • 1 cup cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
  • 2 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp pepper
  • 1 tbsp olive oil for cooking

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • In a bowl, mix chopped spinach, cream cheese, mozzarella, garlic, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  • Slice each chicken breast thinly to create a pocket.
  • Stuff each chicken breast with the spinach mixture and secure with toothpicks.
  • Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sear both sides of the stuffed chicken until golden brown, about 5 minutes each side.
  • Transfer the chicken to a baking dish and bake for 20 minutes or until chicken is cooked through.
  • Remove toothpicks before slicing and serve hot.

Notes

Serve with a side of roasted vegetables for a complete meal. For extra flavor, add red pepper flakes to the stuffing.
