Ingredients
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 tbsp olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
1 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp paprika
For the filling:
1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 garlic clove, minced
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish.
2. Using a sharp knife, cut a pocket into the side of each chicken breast without slicing all the way through.
3. In a bowl, mix spinach, cream cheese, mozzarella, Parmesan, and minced garlic until well combined.
4. Stuff each chicken breast with filling and secure with toothpicks if needed.
5. Rub chicken with olive oil and season both sides with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
6. Place stuffed chicken in baking dish and bake for 25–30 minutes, or until internal temp reaches 165°F.
7. Let rest 5 minutes before serving. Remove toothpicks and enjoy!
Notes
You can use frozen spinach—just thaw and squeeze out excess liquid.
Try adding sun-dried tomatoes or chopped artichokes to the filling for a twist.
Pairs well with mashed potatoes, rice, or cauliflower mash.
