Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breasts
- 115 grams Cream cheese
- 120 grams Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 100 grams Fresh spinach
- 2 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking dish with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
In a medium-sized bowl, mix together the cream cheese, shredded mozzarella cheese, minced garlic, and Italian seasoning. Stir until the mixture is well combined.
Add the fresh spinach to the cheese mixture and gently fold it in until evenly incorporated.
Use a sharp knife to carefully slice each chicken breast horizontally to create a pocket, being careful not to cut all the way through.
Season the chicken breasts on both sides with paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Spoon an equal amount of the cheese and spinach mixture into each chicken breast pocket, making sure not to overfill.
Secure the openings with toothpicks to keep the filling in place while cooking.
Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil. Once hot, sear the stuffed chicken breasts 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 is cooked through and the internal temperature reads 165°F (74°C).
Remove the toothpicks before serving. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired, and enjoy your Super Easy Stuffed Chicken Breasts!
