Description
Tender chicken breasts stuffed with a creamy spinach and cheese filling, baked to perfection for an easy weeknight dinner.
Ingredients
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 6 oz each)
2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
4 oz cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp Italian seasoning
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
2 tbsp olive oil
1/2 cup chicken broth
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking dish.
Step 2: In a medium bowl, combine spinach, cream cheese, mozzarella, Parmesan, garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
Step 3: Using a sharp knife, cut a horizontal pocket in each chicken breast, being careful not to cut all the way through.
Step 4: Stuff each chicken breast with about 1/4 of the spinach mixture, pressing edges to seal.
Step 5: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear chicken for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown.
Step 6: Transfer chicken to prepared baking dish. Pour chicken broth into the bottom of the dish.
Step 7: Bake for 25-30 minutes until chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) internal temperature.
Step 8: Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
