Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breasts
- 0.5 cup Sun-dried tomatoes (chopped)
- 1 cup Fresh spinach leaves (chopped)
- 0.75 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 12 pieces Toothpicks
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Using a sharp knife, cut a pocket into the side of each chicken breast without slicing all the way through.
In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped sun-dried tomatoes, chopped fresh spinach, shredded mozzarella cheese, and minced garlic. Mix well to form the stuffing.
Stuff each chicken breast pocket with the tomato-spinach mixture, making sure not to overfill. Close the pocket using toothpicks to secure the filling.
Rub both sides of the chicken breasts with olive oil, then sprinkle them evenly with Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper.
Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear each chicken breast for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes. Remove the toothpicks before serving.
Serve warm with your favorite side dish, such as roasted vegetables or a fresh salad. Enjoy!
