Ingredients
Scale
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup spinach, chopped
- 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Olive oil for cooking
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) so it’s ready when your chicken is stuffed and seared to perfection.
- Prepare the filling by mixing together the chopped spinach, softened cream cheese, shredded mozzarella, grated Parmesan, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, and a sprinkle of salt and pepper.
- Stuff each chicken breast by carefully cutting a pocket and filling it with the cheese and spinach mixture.
- Sear the stuffed chicken breasts in a skillet over medium heat with olive oil for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
- Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until cooked through and juices run clear.
- Rest the chicken for a few minutes before slicing and serving warm.
Notes
For a richer filling, consider adding sun-dried tomatoes or artichokes. Adjust the herbs and cheeses to your taste for variations.
