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
- Grab your boneless, skinless chicken breasts. Carefully slice each breast horizontally to create a pocket for the stuffing.
- Season the chicken with salt and pepper on both sides.
- In a medium bowl, combine chopped spinach, cream cheese, mozzarella, Parmesan, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, and salt and pepper. Mix until well combined.
- Grab a spoonful of the filling and carefully stuff each chicken pocket, sealing them tightly with toothpicks if needed.
- Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and drizzle with olive oil. Sear each side of the stuffed chicken for about 4-5 minutes until golden brown.
- Transfer the stuffed chicken to an oven-safe dish. Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
- Remove from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes before slicing to reveal the gooey filling.
Notes
Serve with fresh mixed greens or roasted vegetables. Consider adding sun-dried tomatoes or mushrooms to the filling for added flavor.
