Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
- 1 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- to taste Salt and pepper
- as needed Olive oil for cooking
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a bowl, mix together the chopped spinach, cream cheese, mozzarella cheese, minced garlic, onion powder, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Carefully cut a pocket in each chicken breast by slicing horizontally through the side. Be careful not to cut all the way through.
- Stuff each chicken breast with the spinach mixture, using toothpicks to seal the openings if needed.
- Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Sear the stuffed chicken breasts for about 3-4 minutes on each side, until golden brown.
- Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
- Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
Serve with roasted vegetables or a fresh salad. You can drizzle with balsamic glaze or lemon juice for extra flavor. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
