Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breasts
- 8 ounces Cream cheese
- 2 cups Fresh spinach
- 2 pieces Garlic cloves
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a baking dish with a bit of olive oil.
Using a sharp knife, carefully slice each chicken breast horizontally to create a pocket, making sure not to cut all the way through.
In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, chopped fresh spinach, minced garlic, half of the Parmesan cheese, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix until well blended.
Spoon the cream cheese mixture into the pockets of the chicken breasts, dividing it evenly among the four pieces. Use toothpicks to secure the edges of the chicken breasts to keep the filling from spilling out.
Brush the stuffed chicken breasts with olive oil on both sides. Season the outside of the chicken with salt, black pepper, paprika, and Italian seasoning.
Place the stuffed chicken breasts into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the remaining Parmesan cheese on top for a golden crust.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) and the juices run clear.
Remove the chicken from the oven and allow it to rest for 5 minutes. Remove the toothpicks before serving.
Serve warm with your favorite side dishes, such as roasted vegetables or a fresh salad. Enjoy!
