Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breasts
- 100 grams Cream cheese
- 100 grams Spinach, fresh
- 2 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 medium Red bell pepper, diced
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 100 grams Mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 2 tablespoons Parsley, chopped
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Using a sharp knife, slice each chicken breast horizontally to create a pocket, being careful not to cut all the way through.
In a mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, spinach, minced garlic, diced red bell pepper, salt, black pepper, and 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Divide the mixture evenly and stuff each chicken breast pocket with the filling.
Secure each chicken breast with toothpicks to keep the filling from spilling out.
In another small bowl, mix lemon juice, remaining olive oil, paprika, and a pinch of salt to create a marinade.
Brush the marinade generously over the stuffed chicken breasts.
Place the stuffed chicken in a baking dish and cover with aluminum foil.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.
Remove the foil, sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the chicken breasts, and bake for an additional 10 minutes until the cheese is melted and golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Garnish with chopped parsley and serve warm.
