Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken breasts
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup spinach leaves
- 2 pieces garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 8 pieces toothpicks
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Prepare the chicken breasts by slicing them horizontally to create a pocket for stuffing. Be careful not to cut all the way through.
In a mixing bowl, combine mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, chopped spinach leaves, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well-combined.
Stuff each chicken breast pocket with an equal portion of the cheese and spinach mixture.
Secure the openings of the chicken breasts with toothpicks to ensure the stuffing does not spill out during cooking.
Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat.
Sear the stuffed chicken breasts for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Remove the skillet from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Carefully remove the toothpicks and garnish the chicken rolls with additional Parmesan cheese or fresh herbs if desired. Serve warm.
