- 1 cup cream cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup spinach, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Butterfly each chicken breast by slicing it horizontally, ensuring not to cut all the way through, then pound the chicken to about 1/2 inch thick.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, mozzarella cheese, chopped spinach, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, breadcrumbs, and parmesan cheese. Mix until well incorporated.
- Stuff each chicken breast pocket with a generous portion of the filling, sealing securely with toothpicks or kitchen twine.
- Heat olive oil in a sauté pan over medium heat and cook the stuffed chicken breasts for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
- Transfer the browned chicken to a greased baking dish, drizzle with extra olive oil if desired, and bake for 25-30 minutes or until cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
